In Part 2 of our Training with a Ruck series, Drew Snarey from Frontline Athletic joins the show to explain how a rucksack can become a surprisingly effective strength-training tool. From squats and step-ups to carries, rows, presses, and core work, Drew breaks down the exercises that deliver the biggest return on investment and explains how to integrate them into an existing rucking routine.
The conversation also explores the role of recovery, sleep, progressive overload, and why many people sabotage their progress by doing too much too soon.
If you've ever wondered how to get more out of your ruck beyond simply walking, this episode provides a practical roadmap for building strength with the gear you already own.
