I would say that isn't too bright.
What part of "There is no need to exceed 55 lbs. or so in training. Doing so will increase the chances of an injury and cause problems in the long term" is unclear?
We have beaten this to death here and on other websites before.
PT 31-201-SWCS lists 50 lbs. as the maximum weight. In most cases, you should not see a ruck over 65 lbs. till Robin Sage. The training value of a 100 lb. rucksack is minimal compared to the damage it will do to you in the long term. You will get plenty of practice with heavy rucks when you go on a mission with a team. Till then, work on endurance with 55 lbs.
Follow Instructions.
