Your tactical training hub for Strength, Weight loss, and Overall Badassery.
This site is my body transformation tracker. Rucking & Racking is about building a body and mindset that can handle real challenges.
This site exists for those ready to ditch the excuses, put in the reps, and build something that lasts — physically and mentally.
I’m combining rucking and weightlifting as the foundation of my fat-loss and fitness program because together they cover the full spectrum of what I need most: efficient calorie burn, cardiovascular conditioning, and strength preservation. Rucking—walking with added weight—keeps me in Zone 2 cardio for long stretches, which is the most effective way to burn fat while building endurance. Weightlifting, specifically heavy compound barbell work, ensures that as the scale drops, I’m not just losing weight but protecting and even improving my muscle mass. These two approaches complement each other perfectly: one strips away fat, the other maintains the strength and structure I’ll need at my goal weight.
My goal is to lose 80 pounds of fat while preserving as much muscle as possible, bringing me from nearly 284 pounds down to 200 pounds. I’ve set an aggressive but realistic timeframe of about 24 weeks for the fat-loss phase, after which I’ll transition into a muscle-building phase to focus on long-term strength and physique development. This isn’t just about a temporary cut—it’s about building sustainable habits, reshaping my health, and creating a body that can perform better at work, in life, and in every physical challenge I take on.
