What is a ruck weight? Well, it’s simple – it’s a weight for your rucksack (aka backpack for us civilians.)

Bonehead Ruck Weight Plate Review (30)
Fringe Sport has a full range of ruck weights for your training dis-pleasure. I’d recommend starting small and work your way up. That 45 Lb is probably only for ADVANCED RUCK TRAINING.

Put some weight in a backpack and you turn an ordinary walk into a much more stressful workout.

Fringe Sport has different sizes, for different skill levels. WARNING: Think 45 lbs isn’t heavy? Take that one out for 4-5 miles – it will be a humbling experience!

Bonehead Ruck Weight 10 lb (Black) Bonehead Ruck Weight 10 lb - Good for true beginners, or for adding increments of weight. The upside of this one is it is small - so it leaves a lot of room for things like hydration. This should fit in any reasonably sized backpack.
Bonehead Ruck Weight 20 lb (Black) Bonehead Ruck Weight 20 lb - this is the GORUCK standard for people under 150 lbs. A definite step up from 10lb!
Bonehead Ruck Weight 30 lb (Black) Bonehead Ruck Weight 30 lb - If you are over 150 Lbs, this is the ruck weight you aspire to. This will be a challenge - if you've not rucked with weight before.
Bonehead Ruck Weight 45 lb (Black) Bonehead Ruck Weight 45 lb - recommended only for advanced users. Just remember you'll have this PLUS any hydration and other gear. You'll likely end up rucking 60 lbs or more ... that's a lot.

First of all, to be clear, these are THICK IRON plates with a painted on coating. It’s pretty thick. Here’s a close-up.

How thick is it? Compare here to the GORUCK 30 lb ruck plate on the bottom. To be clear this it the GORUCK Standard or GR1 sized plate, not the Expert ruck plate which is more compact.

As you can see from these dimensions, the Bonehead weights will git anywhere the GORUCK standard sizes plates will – but NOT the newer, more compact GORUCK plates (which are shorter!)

Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates – Overview

All 10, 20, 30, or 45lb weight plates fit in standard-sized rucksacks and are great for growth. Whether you are new or hardcore to rucking, carrying these weight plates around can benefit you. You can get a rucksack, load it with the weight you are comfortable with at first, then walk around the neighborhood or anywhere your feet lead you. If you are unsure of what weight to carry around, you can start with 10 lbs though most people start with 20 lbs. They are manufactured out of solid cast iron and coated in a black powder coat. Though durable, they are not bulletproof and are not meant for protection.

45 Lbs is considered a lot in the world of fitness rucking. You’ve been warned…

The Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates are versatile — you can use them for rucking, swinging it like a kettlebell, or holding onto its handles during the ultimate weighted flow. These ruck weight plates are developed to fit standard-sized rucksacks like the GORUCK GR1 and GORUCK Rucker. The ruck weights take up minimal space and present the most convenient workouts opportunities at home or on the road. Fringe Sport devised these weight plates with two handles for easy swinging, lifting, weighing, and other exercises.

Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates – In Summary

That’s our close-up look at Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates.

Think about your kettlebells and double their power. You get the Ruck Weight Plates. You can swing them, hold their handles, or put them in your rucksack while giving your that hear pumping workout that you’ve been looking for. These ruck weights are perfect if you have a small garage and offer the options for workouts anywhere. You can purchase them individually or as a set.

What sort of backpack can you put these in? I wouldn’t use a cheapo bag from Walmart – it’ll rip. Instead check out the GORUCK Rucker 3 – it’s hands-down the best ruck for fitness purposes.
