12 lap Strong Ruck!

 



Well that was a total surprise! After all those super heavy one arm swings yesterday I was prepared to suffer, and to have to call things short but this was the strongest and fastest I've been in a Sunday ruck in months

Reloading the ruck and switching out the gypsum for hard packed sand in a sandbag filler sleeve did the trick.

I placed the sandbag sleeve vertically in the center of the ruck and put the ten pound sand pill in front and hoped wouldn't shift and it didn't!

I could get and keep the hip belt up much  higher on my hips and it didn't slouch. That's what's been making my lower back tight and my traps achy  at the end of the rucks. Today  it felt really well balanced

Lungs and legs were good although  it did take a bit ( 45 min) for the lungs to open but that's not unusual. But legs were good the whole time! Shocking

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
