- 1)The 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift (MDL) event represents movements required to safely and effectively lift heavy loads from the ground, jump, bound and tolerate landing. It requires well-conditioned back and leg muscles and helps Soldiers to avoid upper and lower back injuries caused by moving long distances under heavy load.
2) The Standing Power Throw (SPT) event represents tasks requiring quick explosive movements to maneuver equipment and personnel.
3) HAND-RELEASE PUSH-UP (HRP)This is an upper body endurance test that represents repetitive and sustained pushing used in combat tasks.
4)The Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC) is a test of strength, endurance, and anaerobic capacity, which are needed to accomplish high intensity combat tasks that last from a few seconds to several minutes.
5)The Leg Tuck (LTK) assesses the strength of the Soldiers grip, arm, shoulder and trunk muscles. These muscles assist Soldiers in load carriage and in avoiding injuries to the back.
6)The run event measures aerobic endurance, which is required for conducting continuous operations and ground movements on foot. Higher aerobic endurance allows the body to recover quickly in preparation for executing other physically demanding tasks that may arise during a ground movement, such as reacting quickly to enemy contact.
The hand release push up has recently changed. Once your hands are released from the ground you must extend your arms out so your body is like the letter t.
Going to basic in 19 days, just found it I have to pass this to graduate. Wish me luck.
This new test will take all day to complete.
There's going to be a boat load of injuries as well!
Not really. Already tried it and it didn't take that long and that was with a company sized group.
Negative. All incorrect or unsafe movements are called out and subject to stop testing if soldier can't perform correctly. Also, ACFT has been tested to maintain within 70 min.
In my Marine Corps experience, I’ve never seen something like this. It’s very unorthodox. I’m not talking bad about this new Combat Fitness Test, but I believe the Army also has a 2 mile run on the PFT. I don’t understand the point of having 2 long distance times runs. Critiques, as my own opinion, I would make make it a mile at the most. I don’t think there are too many situations in combat that you’d even have to run 2 miles.
It’s supposed to be a combat fitness test, not endurance test. I run 3 miles in 20 mins, and a 2:35 second half mile.
I understand the point made by the officials, but I don’t think you’re going to be carrying any more than 40-60 pounds, so the dead lifts are pointless, if you ask me. Same as the medicine ball, you’re most likely not launching something that’s 10lbs, over your shoulder. My opinion is that it’s cool, but I think most of the events aren’t fully relatable to circumstances that you’d be in, while in combat.
Just practiced this for pt this morning. I actually maxed the sprint drag carry on my first try 🙂
Should’ve kept the normal push ups, nothing was wrong with them
Thank you! Your comment is literally under appreciated
Actually, doing push ups in the old form is the incorrect way. You're not going through the full motion so it puts more strain on your body. Which can be very damaging in the long run.
The Leg Tuck looks the most challenging imo.
I’m gonna have to take this pretty soon
I'm going to crush this.... shipping to Benning Oct 29
SunShine Gorilla fuck yeah shipping October 28 Fort Jackson ✊🏽✊🏽
@@ozzzzz3388 hell yeah ... what mos bro...11x airborne right here
Ozz Zzz sameeee !! I’m excited
Sunshine I’ll see you out there bro, I ship on the 28th to benning
Goodluck brother, wish you all the best!
Those are some weird pushups.
All that and then still have to run 2 miles? This goes in full effect 2020. Better start training CrossFit.
I don't understand the arm extension push-up. It looks weird.
Crossfit basically. Much better than the normal apft in my opinion.
Seem easier than my friends in duty.
Am nervous 😩 pre practice
G&G Blog you got this 💪🏽💯 good luck!! 🤙🏽
But those push-ups 🤦♂️ why can’t I just zoom through them anymore
You still have the 2 minute push up aswell as the 2mile run and 2 minute sit up
@@SikkRaz3r nope. What u just saw was the test. 2 mile run at the end
I keep looking at this and it don’t look that bad.. but that leg tuck I just can’t seem to understand it for some reason
After all the exercises before the the leg tuck it gets hard only because your heart rate is elevated and it makes it difficult. All in all I found it fun.
Glad they're keeping the 2 mile run. Too much fun.
I hope I get to do the current or original pt test. I leave October 21 for Fort Sill, Oklahoma and this new stuff looks weak. I love pushups and pull ups
You should. If I'm not mistaken, this doesn't take effect until 2020. However, I think this test is far more appropriate for testing functional strength, speed, and endurance. If your unit gets a chance to try it out, I'd say go for it my man!
You wont, anyone leaving for basic after October 1 this year are doing the new acft
5:10
So, is it left or right hand?
Left or right doesn't matter. You just have to stay dashing the same direction so as to work both legs equally
I’m taking this in a couple of weeks In ait
I think this will be pretty easy, compared to the current test
Shipping on November 12th, fort benning!
Good luck
Im shipping out the 12th of November too
Wow
I wish it it was that easy at Benning in Harmony Church 87.....just sayin
They should add pull-ups or planks for abs and upper body.
I know Ft.Eustis when I see it🥴
Those press up are weak you are taking the tension from the muscle doing them that way will allow you to do a million of them! 🤣 military press up should be couple inch from the ground hold then back up in a slow controlled manner 🤦♂️
Hi all my hot dtf USA ARMY girls! Let's party!
