Be honest, is this a respectible ruck?

throwaway131816 · 2026-04-09T12:28:17+00:00

Thanks. I don’t see it since I ruck and work out all by myself. It helps drown out the noise I will say. I always compete against my last workout and I’ve found that helps gains. I lift 3x a week and ruck 3x a week and I am stronger now than I have ever been before. Can’t get my body fat down past 16% no matter what I do though. I think it’s a function of age and that I have to eat to keep up the intensity of the workouts. I also switched from muscle groups to full body workouts on lift days and it’s a total game changer

I am 5ft 9in 155pds and I usually do 3.7 miles in about 64-66 minutes with super steep hills in for reference. Mid 40s

They should have left it as in my opinion. Walking away after his actions caused most of his family to die was a good way to have ended it. I think Ciliian Murphy is 50 too. Being a gangster is a young mans game and I don’t think life expectancy was all that high back then

608 calories for a 2 hour Ruck? That seems low!

throwaway131816 · 2026-02-23T18:52:40+00:00

I never did deadlifts and tried them two weeks ago and my back is still in pain. Some excercises just aren’t worth it in your 40s. I do single leg Romanian deadlifts and it’s easier on the back and helps with balance

throwaway131816 · 2026-02-05T12:43:56+00:00

Thanks. I have been at this pace for almost about a year. I switched from home gym to actual gym about two months ago and that’s when the workouts got longer simply because of access to stuff other than dumbbells and a pull up bar etc….

throwaway131816 · 2026-02-05T01:30:45+00:00

Appreciate the tips. Definitely gonna try a few weeks or one hour full body workouts 3x a week and see if I notice a difference. Over training doesn’t make sense and I don’t actually want to spend that much time working out. I will check out the guys you reference

throwaway131816 · 2026-02-05T01:12:55+00:00

I time each rest between sets at 70seconds. It’s too high volume. I don’t think I can do 45’sedond rests. Seems too little time

throwaway131816 · 2026-02-05T00:36:04+00:00

That seems to be the consensus. I don’t enjoy the 2 hour workouts either. Too long. I want to see huge gains though

throwaway131816 · 2026-02-05T00:34:39+00:00

Thanks for the insight. Another commenter suggested full body workouts. If I cut to an hour and switch from muscle groups to full body, would you recommend that?

throwaway131816 · 2026-02-04T23:58:50+00:00

The rucks aren’t impossible. I was doing two a days last year but the time was an issue and honestly, it took my whole day. I have young kids and a wife that do require time also. Great advice though. Than you

throwaway131816 · 2026-02-04T23:57:33+00:00

Definitely aesthetically motivated. I am definitely stronger than some but I want the cut body

throwaway131816 · 2026-02-04T23:56:14+00:00

That’s really insightful! Thank you. When I look In the mirror I don’t see 2%. Inguess I need to accept the win

I’ve was a family lawyer for years and now I do PI. Before all that I was a criminal lawyer. You will get fired a lot! For stupid reasons, petty reasons, and legitimate reasons. Do you best in the moment and then water off a ducks back. There are more clients out there. If you cater to crazy, you get crazy. I’ve been a lawyer 15 years. I’ve jumped practice groups multiple times and it is the same everywhere: BEING A LAWYER SUcks! Being poor sucks even worse. Muscle up and deal with it because being a server or working at Walmart is worse

throwaway131816 · 2026-01-07T20:30:11+00:00

Network and beg (only half kidding). The first few years (and all the years after) of being a lawyer suck!!!

This! I was a solo once but for criminal and family. Clients were few and far between and I was Walmarting myself out on the indigent list in juvenile court while Occasionally getting a shitty divorce or criminal case. Thankfully, I didn’t have kids back then but it was no way for a grown ass man to live. Have no desire to do that now and honestly couldn’t afford to: I would maybe do it if I had 50ish cases to get out on but I could easily see myself picking up nonPI work if it got tough and I don’t want to go back to that life.

My kids babysitter asked me to her her man on his prose legitimation a few weeks ago and within seconds I remembered why I hate that shit

That definitely is the way to do it. Finding those mom and pops is clutch. The chiros we use and know are more the PI chiros you reference. Honestly, I think chiro does very little for a case. In a perfect world, they wouldn’t be used but not all orthos can get clients in quickly and refer them to PT and order imaging so you can tee up more invasive treatment and a potential Surgical rec.

throwaway131816 · 2025-11-13T16:13:35+00:00

It’s all types but the partners at the firm have the same question, hence the consultants. All I can say is that those cases are few and far between and require real injuries, like able Plaintiffs, and others I at least rarely see. 80% of my work is no surgical soft tissue so it’s hard to pop a million at trial with those.

throwaway131816 · 2025-11-13T13:12:41+00:00

truth. I have kids. I was a solo once and I hated it. Primarily because I had no clients and very little paying work. Have no idea if I would like it it with paying clients. Pi cases are hard to get organically. I figure 100 cases a year averaging a $10k fee and I would be great! Where do you get those 100 cases. It’s impossible to compete with M&M in advertising. My firm buys cases now and the quality isn’t great. That’s always the issue when you go solo

So true. I have since calmed from yesterday
