In Al Ciampa's article about Rucking:
Al talks about the type of ruck sack to use. No mention is made of weighted vests. Is it better in general to wear the weight on the back rather than distributed around the body as in a weighted vest?
Al recommends rucking just once per week. Would rucking more often than that be counter productive?
I suppose it would be acceptable to walk or jog on days that I don't ruck, keeping my heart rate at or below 180-age?
In Original Strength, they recommending walking while dragging a chain or sled. Would rucking and dragging a chain be interchangeable, with each providing similar benefits, or would they each provide different benefits? Would one be more healing to the body than the other?
