A 25kg weight plate. but you could use a 20kg plate and make the weight up to 55lb with water. my bergen has the big map type pocket in the main compartment, right against the back pad so its comfortable and i dont feel it. if i'm out tabbing on the hills then there's food, water and extra clothing too which takes the weight up to around 75-80lbs, depending on how long i'm out for.

Still, i'll be sore tomorrow
Ive got a 25 miler planned for tomorrow up on the moors, but will see how my legs feel in the morning and decide then. stretching in the morning then getting it done before my legs stiffen up later in the day may work though, usually does.

Man, you seem so dedicated to your boxing, it's great to see. I've just started up boxing training again after being out for 18-24 months due to laziness. I have started bag work, pad work, shadow boxing, weights and exercises for the core. Planning on running after christmas, trained four times a week. Love the passion and enthusiasm you have to your training mate!
I'm just under 15st at the moment, but been trying to bulk up for a while now and struggling a bit. strength wise, my training couldnt be going better tho. the 170kg squat is a new personal best. 4 weeks ago i was doing 160kg for 2-3 singles, but the weight felt ok so i went for 170kg and got it and actually thought i was gonna get 175kg but failed on the lift. next time!
I don't box competitively anymore mate, stopped a while ago now. But thanks. i was 10 times more dedicated to fighting tho, you've got to take it serious or what's the point? **** getting hurt for nothing. Good to hear your back at it tho, keep it up mate. And thanks, i love training, always have. nothing else gives me the same buzz, except fighting maybe, and like i say i don't fight anymore now, just spar occaisionally to keep myself sharp.
