I overdid it 2 weekends ago, 75 lbs, Thought I’d put the majority of the weight on my waist by really cranking the waist belt,
By the 3.5 mile mark my hip flexors declared a strike, still slightly feel it.
Go easy on the weight and so-so on the waist belt, shoulders can/will carry the weight along with the waist belt.
And if going to the gym, avoid machines you haven’t been on in years,,,,example, Starmaster,,,(miserable SOB)….Again, over did the hip flexors,,
And those flexors will remind you for a while.
My buddy overdid it a few weeks ago with ruck, and got shin splints. I'm trying to get a good workout, but avoid any downtime.
