RAFO.Rucking

I didn’t quit the gym.

I still go and I still love it. Rucking didn’t replace my training… it filled the gaps.

Rest days that turned into nothing?

Now they’re easy miles with a pack. Active recovery and peace of mind.

Time outside in nature. Strength I actually use carrying stuff in real life.

Gym builds the engine. Rucking builds the chassis. You want both.

“How much weight do I start with?”

It’s a question every new rucker asks… and the reason most never actually start. They overthink it.

So here’s the whole thing, zero guesswork. Four weeks, couch to your first real ruck.

Week one you don’t even add weight. You just walk. By week four you’re carrying 25 pounds and feeling strong. Then add more from there.

That’s it. That’s the plan.

Most people quit rucking a few weeks in

Not because it’s too hard… because they made one of these five mistakes and it wrecked the experience.

Too much weight. Pack hanging off their lower back. Cotton socks turning into blisters by mile 2.

None of it is complicated. All of it is avoidable.

Swipe through → fix these five and your first ruck actually feels good.

Save this for the day you start.

Testing out the new pack from before we load it up with some lbs.

The waist strap and padding is incredible. Very little shift while rucking. The pack felt like it was a part of me. Highly recommended.

Well done Mystery Ranch and

Time to load this bad boy up 💪🏻💪🏻

As we age, one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children (and ourselves) is our health.

One of the beauties of the movement is the simplicity of throwing a ruck or weighted vest on your body, and just going.

Anyone can do it.. but make no mistake.. it ain’t easy.

Happy Father’s Day to all our fathers in the RAFO community. 💪🏻💪🏻

¡Pura Vida! from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

My bride and I decided to do a little “makeshift ruck” today and spice it up with a 700 stair climb!

This place is truly paradise, but we’re still prioritizing fitness and activity while relaxing!

Our legs definitely felt this RuckOut!

On to the steam room, cold plunge and hot tub 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I was told Murph Prep doesn’t start until NEXT week, but these animals vested up and crushed our metcon this morning anyway.

Coming to a gym near you - Memorial Day 2024 👀👀

Behold - the Texas State flower is in full bloom!

This Sunday was a nice brisk 4+ mile admiring Gods creation as the flowers are in full bloom. Why my hands are up in the air is anyone’s guess but let’s not get distracted from the beauty.

and our K9 mascot Will just casually rucking with 70 lbs in his pack like a complete animal. He’s rocking the .

chose the weighted vest route and I’m bringing up the rear with 40lbs in my pack.

Spring is here, the flowers are in bloom and the work is done!

It’s not always about the Ruck. It’s often about throwing weight around too!

If the legend is is true, our RAFO shirt ads something close to 15 lbs per lift, but the shoulders and ink are a little harder to acquire.

Heavy load on the bar translates to longer Rucks and heavier load in the pack. Our gym and Coach says it best - NEVER miss a Monday 💪🏻💪🏻

Did you today?

Did you today?

Let’s go get this week!!!

Do you ever try to make your domesticated life more difficult? I’ll admit it’s a constant struggle and it often takes something like a to reset, and remember that there IS time to workout.. if it’s a priority and you can be creative.

As I’m getting ready for a this am, my wife says “Yo bird.. 🐦 don’t forget we need dog food before we leave this week.” Great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. So I took a detour and rucked up to the pet store… looked a little (a lot) silly.. and rucked back with the goods.

Don’t let the time excuse get in the way of your goals. Creativity and movement will help you along your journey.
