Good job man  - ive been training harder than ever - long rucks on the weekends.   Sat and Sunday 12-15 miles each.    Weekdays - bootcamp and rucks with my crew.   Have not missed a single day yet. 

Switched back to conventional deadlifts for the first time in over a year, maybe two:

90/90 breathing with hip lift
banded good mornings
elevated split squat
rolling

Deadlift:
10/9/8/5/5/5/5/5
Superset back hyper extension x 8

5 rounds AFAP
Sandbag turkish get up x  10
Over the shoulder sandbag throws x 10

5 x 400m run

My program is more on improving 5k time, but I may add in rucking because I miss it.

You have been in beast mode for over a year...incredible

Really proud of my crew - we banged out 5.16 miles in 1:15:00 this am which included a lot oh hills.  Everyone was carrying over 35lbs at least.

Does the ruck run bother your back? I have low back issues and try and shy from things that beat it up. I thought about switching to a style of training more into functional fitness rather than hanging out weights once the world gets back to normal.

Not at all. 45 and zero back pain at all.   None.

A good rucksack has the weight sit high up on the back and is comfortable.  During events, you will forget it's there.

A key though is not to run.  You walk fast, or shuffle when you want speed.   This takes impact off the knees and back.

In essence, a ruck run isn't really running.

Made up my own today:

Airdyne: 5 min

2 warmup sets of:
Banded good morning x 12
Quadrupled rock back x 5 - this is basically on hands and knees and walking your hands back until you end up in the bottom squat position
Box jumps

Deadlift
10 sets of 315 x 1.  Every minute on minute

20 min of EMOM, alternating:
5 pull up
5 two handed landmine press @ 90lbs

50 minute slow ruck - not trying to get distance, just time.

Tortured my crew this am and they hated me throughout - but all felt accomplished at the end.  Total gut check.

Seriously though, other than three trips to the gym since the lockdown, I haven’t gone above body weight or 15 pound dumblells. 20-30 minutes on the bike and another 20-30 working out quick depending on how I feel and how much time I have. Weekends usually have longer to work out.

It's still good work.

If you're on twitter, let me know and I'll give you a bunch of people to follow that I've found very helpful.

Ok, this sucked for a compound movement like deadlifts:

Warmup x 2
1 min airdyne
10 banded good mornings
8 curl ups - basically lying flat, curling chin to chest then curling to full sit up slowly
10 bird dog


Deadlift:
12 sets x 5 every minute on minute.....so about 45 sec rest.

Accessory:
3 sets DB split squat, wait 30 sec , 8 barbell hip thrust

Stamina:
4 rounds: 16 side MB slams, 8 box jump over


Accessory and stamina were easy.....but deadlifting in that rep scheme sucked.   Dropped weight for sets  7-12
