      what do yous think about carrying weighted rucksacks about? Any actual benefits? I know it can add to your calorie consumption but i dont really care about that, what I want to know is what can it do to your MUSCLEE? Apart from destroy it due to lactic acid, lol

      I mean anything from a 10 minute walk with 5kg to a 2 mile run with 20kg..?

      Well it digs into your delts/traps like a b1tch but would be benefical on the quads and calves I would imagine.

      Really don't recommend this. Bad for your back and spine...

      It is a very outdated exercise used by those who spent time in the military.

      Different centre of gravity in this case isnt it. I reckon as long as its not lagging on the lower back (which is very bad) its relatively safe. We used to do these in school but we had to use bricks
