Great post! Surprised you didn’t mention waist belt, particularly at higher weights. On longer rucks for me I let my hips take the weight for part of the time. Gives the shoulders a break and works different muscles. The single shoulder option works well for improving balance and confidence for me. Thanks!
My times improved slightly, but what I found most interesting in improvement is my resting heart rate and HRV. I am full on drinking this kool aid and feel better than ever! Can’t wait to see what July’s burn is.
Another great post. I’ve been reading about these kind of things for a while, but find your entry points useful, interesting and thoughtful. I was hoping you’d reference Dr. Ponzer’s work at some point involving metabolic flexibility and low and behold!
Love the monkey hang idea. Will add it to my static hang workouts.
Love the patches. Any chance of offering them with Velcro on the back? I can do it myself, but figured there might be others interested.
Yes. This was very helpful. I have been doing rucks of up to 2 hrs and notice on the last 30 min or so the shoulder discomfort described. Thanks, Michael, for corrective hanging exercises!

This was a question I was planning to ask during our upcoming call! Thank you for both the mid-ruck and general exercises.
Any chance you’ll be discussing posture and ruck-fit in the future?
