This episode is the most comprehensive guide to rucking.

Michael’s book, The Comfort Crisis, set off the rucking craze, according to the New York Times. Since the book’s publication, Michael has received a lot of very specific questions about rucking.

* The amount of weight you should ruck with.

* Whether you should ever ruck with over 50 pounds or 1/3 bodyweight.

* How to fix rucking shoulder aches.

* Whether to use a hip belt while rucking.

* The difference between rucking with a weight vest and backpack.

* Whether you should run with a ruck on.

* Whether walking with your kid in a backpack kid carrier counts as rucking.
