Just did a 135 lbs ruck march in training to join the Dutch air assault brigade in may. Just wanted to say that I learn a lot from your videos to train smarter.
@@hirise9419 my sergeant told me that it was good preparation to walk for a small time with heavy weight (I only did 3km) and walk for a long time with small weight (I walked 52 km with 45 lbs in August) so that my body will adapt to both
@@manuelvh7821 That's too much, in my opinion. You DO want to ruck with considerable amount of weight. However, not so much that you hurt yourself. And not so much that you can't do upwards of 10-12 miles. Here's my $0.02 - drop the weight to like 35lbs. Start with that and work your way up. From there, consider either adding weight, increasing intensity, or increasing mileage. You should (I'm not an expert) look at working your way up to a 12-miler with 45lbs - 65lbs. Buck...what say you?
@@Nervii_Champion Good. Going to SFAS in the winter means you have dead draws that are easy to bust through, and you get a personal AC during events and team events. All about perspective.
Work in silence dude. No one cares that you watch videos on RUclips. You don’t need tips/ tricks/ videos/ paid memberships to pass selection. Show up fit, in the right place, on time, in correct uniform, with the correct weight.
The lateral expansion when shooting from prone is something I haven't thought of. That's actually a great reason as well to practice the alligator breathing.
Very good Buck!! You are leveling up, doing very unique and different things on your channel compared to other channels of former special operators, you are doing very well by adding content from other health professionals, who with their advice help new recruits to position themselves correctly for the Ruck, Blessings 🙌
Awesome video! I wish I had this kind of knowledge before going through Recon Selection. There was very little info other than run fast, swim good and do lots of pull ups which doesn’t do much to help rucking, how to carry and distribute weight, condition your feet and get your head right. My step son is graduating high school and signed up for 18x program. His mom and are going to surprise him with a subscription to your program to help him in his journey.
I used to run with NEWTON RUNNING,Wich was based out of Boulder. One of the first things we worked on was diaphragm breathing. Especially on the trails. Learning to not think about it. Changed run times and fatigue
My junior year of HS (2011), to prep for 12B (the MOS I wanted since both my dad and grandfather were combat engineers, was 21B for my dad though) I started rucking around my 200 acre farm with 100 pounds on in an old army rucksack (Gulf war era) and some combat boots I bought from the Army navy store. Every day until I graduated I would walk a circle around the farm, go home take it off, then run it again. When I first started out I was like, holy shit I cant do this, but then I shortened my starting distance, and gradually increased it to cover the whole farm, then when that got easy I started walking trails and climbing the hills around my house with it (I live in Kentucky, lotta hills in my area). It sucked, my back, shoulders and feet hurt, and I swear like I could smell blood through my nose when I got done running. But it all payed off. It made basic a breeze for me, helped too that my dad was a Air assault Sapper so he showed me how to pack the ruck the right way, do the knots and ties, etc.
oh if i had this when i walked my trek... there's a time and a place to muscle through a problem but if a proper train-up can prep your body and rewire your brain so you prevent those potential injuries, hell we might not have to joke about getting denied VA percentages.
From what I know these are the benefits of breathing through your nose: Nose acts as a filter filtering out bacteria, dust, etc. There's less chance to get a flu if you breathe through nose. Also your lungs will be cleaner. Also, there's a better heat transfer when breathing through nose. In cold environment you would lose heat much slower. And in hot environments you wouldn't get as hot quickly. Breathing through mouth maybe can also damage your teeth but I'm really not sure on that one. The idea is that the ph balance will not be optimal for enamel building and stuff like that.
OK, here's some objective feedback for you all : I've just hit 3 months of doing the recommended exercises and watching my posture more closely while rucking -- it has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased the pain, aches in my traps -- this is $$$
From a fan from Turkmenistan (I'm pretty much sure that I am the only one )) Wish you would make a react to the movies "Kingdom" (with Jamie Fox) , "Raid(Serbuan maut)" (with Iko Uwais), " Forces speciales 2011*" ( with Jimoun Honsou), "The Balkan Line 2019*" its like Hollywood version of russian sf's. Would appreciate that!!!!
I am about to enlist soon if I get the Option 40 for the Army, I have been doing crazy workouts for the last year and it's going well, I've upgraded myself through this process I can only imagine once I'm at it every day in the Regiments I'll be a specimen worthy of Tier 1 title if I play my cards right
@AliveGamingHD there is a gym in my neighborhood 3 miles away (big gated community, very beautiful but half the people here are trash humans) and I ruck there with 40 pounds, workout and lift weights, and then ruck back home for a total of 6 miles and sometimes I will even go twice in one day, but some days I don't do anything. I also like to go for 5 mile or more runs but I am trying to get more muscle and running will work against that.
@@Nervii_Champion cool man. Great to hear, I never have been able to talk to another guy who is going op40. I’m going officer but basically doing the same and busting my ass until I get my degree this spring. Best of luck brother.
@AliveGamingHD yeah I want to be an officer instead of enlisted because I feel like my lack of fear and my ballsyness would serve well as being a leader, but I want to make sure I don't get told that I'm not allowed on the battlefield so I'm going enlisted. I can't sit and do desk work I'm a hands-on kind of guy, it runs in the family. My grandfather turned down an extra $20 on his paycheck because he didn't want to sit at a desk all day. That's just how my family is, most of us like to be right there doing the work with everyone else.
I’ve never been able to breathe into my nose and out my mouth when running or doing any kind of extensive cardio. For whatever reason no matter how clear my sinuses are before running, it tends to clog up a little mid way through and I can’t breathe through my nose effectively enough to do it lol
You might want to see a doctor about that. I nose breathe in all but the very most intense exertion like HIIT. Making that change improved my performance a fair amount.
@@someguyusa well I seriously don’t think it’s anything to go see a dr about. The only time it’s hard to do is when I really pushing myself in a run. I mean with about 50% effort I can run a 5 min mile while weighing 220lbs. I do military style training exercises dealing with gym workouts and running/rucking long distances. I’m not necessarily trying to break any WR’s here lol.

Sean….LOVE this! More recommendations from Dr. Burkhart,please! I’m adding those breathing exercises into my daily routine.
more on the way!
Thanks, Sharon! Hope the breathing exercises are going well. If there are other topics you want to learn about drop a comment!
Fascinating stuff! In the mountains this weekend so will definitely be trying this out, thanks!
let us know how it goes!
Ngl, I thought yall are brothers like almost twins. Thank you for this very informative video
you bet!
Hip to shoulder and back was how we were taught too.
Buck and Burkhart. Separated at birth? Look like brothers. Excellent content, as always.
the breathing technic has helped to avoid schoulder pain, thanks v.m.
Very useful!! Thank you very much from Brazil!
oh if i had this when i walked my trek...
there's a time and a place to muscle through a problem but if a proper train-up can prep your body and rewire your brain so you prevent those potential injuries, hell we might not have to joke about getting denied VA percentages.

helpful, i like the bro science as well. alexander technique is also worth learning, or some ppl prefer feldenkrais
im so excited for the boots when are the boots coming out
factory is making first pair now, hopefully next few months we will have a good date set
Thx FNG this is next level tips 👍
You bet!
more to come!
OK, here's some objective feedback for you all : I've just hit 3 months of doing the recommended exercises and watching my posture more closely while rucking -- it has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased the pain, aches in my traps -- this is $$$

@G6Tarantula I'm not saying it is a life-threatening issue, but it may be fixable.
I'm surprised this guy only has a couple videos and 2 subscribers. Boulder fit, how about some content?
The diaphragm doesn’t go down. You can’t breath into your stomach through your diaphragm. Learn how your body actually works.
