Do you monitor your HR with rucking? I find mine HR being below BB numbers mostly. But I am fairly new to the rucking.
Cheers.
I did in the beginning but felt I was looking at my gps/hr data too often and not enjoying it like I should be. I’m ok with using them as longer “recovery” workouts. Always feel fresh the day after a good ruck.

Re: Malander93's Training Log
11/1/18 FB(SEx2)/G, Week 5, Day 4, MS#2
KB Swing 5x20 @55#
Hex DL 3x5 @ 265#
Bench 3x5 @ 145#
Pull Up 3x5 @25#
Pull ups felt much better today. Not sure I’ll get to my E work today since I’m on the road for 2-4 days with work, but I brought my running shoes just in case.
Soreness is starting to really set in right now. Started a subscription to romwod per Nicolicci’s training log. What does everyone do for recovery? I used to love a good sauna session but don’t have one readily available right now. Not a big believer in ice baths.

Re: Malander93's Training Log
Good sleep does miracle for me in terms of recovery. I don't get that too often due to my life situation. This is one of the reasons that I can't be on calorie deficit.malander93 wrote:What does everyone do for recovery?
Another trick is to stay active during rest day. Brief walk outside can really cure any doms and recharge CNS.
And lastly.. I am big proponent of any energy work and meditation. Even on very basic level.
Just my 2c..

Re: Malander93's Training Log
Gotta admit my sleep hygiene is pretty shit. Will work on that. I notice you have some qijong stuff in your log. What is that? I used to meditate consistently but fell off the wagon a while ago.Barkadion wrote:Good sleep does miracle for me in terms of recovery. I don't get that too often due to my life situation.

"Most simply put, qigong is a diverse system for working with the energy of life, called qi. Some of its benefits include improving health, reducing stress, increasing energy, maintaining emotional calm, strengthening the immune system, and promoting longevity. Although the word “qigong” has only been in common usage since the 1950s, the practice originated in Asia between three and five thousand years ago (depending on which sources are quoted). It is a vital, living practice that continues to be researched, developed, and adapted for contemporary life. However, many of the most ancient methods still exist and are practiced today, relatively unchanged."
