Here’s a really fun ladder drill workout you can do with your ruck. I call it the Ruckoff / Ruckon because you use the ruck (but don’t wear it) in Part 1 then wear the ruck in Part 2. You can always change the length of time in Part 1 to vary difficulty by turning this into a quicker (or longer) workout.
Equipment
You’ll need the following to complete this workout:
Part 1 (Ruckoff)
Do these in a ladder drill style (one of each exercise, then two of each, then three, etc. until time) for 12 minutes. At no point should you need to put the ruck on.
- Ruck Curl
- Ruck Press
- Bear Hug Squat w/ Ruck
- Ruck High Pull
Once 12 minutes is up spend the time between minute 12 and minute 13 to put the ruck on and get ready for Part 2!
Part 2 (Ruckon)
Start at the highest rep count you made it to in Part 1 then work down the ladder from there with these exercises. For example, if you made it to 11 Ruck Curls in Part 1 then you would start with 11 of each exercise here, then do 10 of each, then 9 of each, etc. until you eventually complete 1 of each. Your goal is to complete Part 2 before the timer hits 25 minutes.
- Ruck Burpee
- 4 Count Mountain Climbers w/ Ruck
