Strength serves the ruck.
The plan reads your existing ruck schedule. Heavy lower-body work cannot land the day before a long ruck. Most strength apps treat lifting as the main event. For a rucker, it's a support modality.
A 13-week adaptive program. Block periodization. Carries every session. Branches at intake on your equipment, schedule, and the body you show up with.
Goal shapes how the peak block is structured. Event date anchors it.

Every session has a main lift, assistance work, and a loaded carry. Squat, hinge, push, pull, carry. No bro-split. No isolation. Carries are programmed, not bolted on as finishers.
Three lift days a week is the cap. Ruckers already accumulate massive aerobic load. Recovery is the bottleneck, not motivation. Two-day plans ship for high-mileage weeks.
Foundation builds the floor. Build adds load. Peak sharpens. Deloads at weeks 5 and 10. If you give it an event date, week 13 lands on it.
This is a v0 generator. Loads are prescribed by RPE so you dial them yourself. A real strength-and-conditioning consult signs off on the load math before this graduates from preview. The four principles above are stable. The math gets refined.
