It is a test of a Soldier’s ability to push an opponent away during man-to-man contact, push a vehicle when it is stuck, and push up from cover / the ground during evade and maneuver. The 4-count Push-up event is a measure of upper body muscular endurance and has high correlation with the repetitive and sustained pushing used in WTBD/CSTs.
Count 4: To complete the repetition the arms will return to the starting position with handsīeneath the shoulders, palms on the ground. Count 3: The arms are fully extended out to the sides into the T position. The ACFT is intended to be completed in 70 minutes or less. management relies on the act of balancing training and rest effectively. Of course, you have to be in superior aerobic and anaerobic shape in order to run fast over 8 laps. For example, when training to improve your 2-mile run time, is there a place. Proper pacing in this event is absolutely vital in order to drop significant time. The head and face will not contact the ground. The acft score calculator mentioned above will show what 2 mile time you need to run in order to get 60 to 100 points. Count 2: Elbows are fully flexed and the body is lowered as a single unit to the ground. Count 1: From the start position, elbows are fully extended and the Soldier has reached the up. Flexing / bending at the knees, hips, trunk or neck during a repetition or in the position is not permitted / Authorized. The front leaning rest is the only authorized rest position. On the command “GO,” the Soldier will push the whole body up from the ground as a single unit, staying in a straight line from head to toes. The 10-minute rest period starts when the last Soldier completes the Leg Tuck. (See ATP 7-22.01 for more details on conducting the ACFT. There is a 10-minute rest period after the Leg Tuck. There is always a 10-minute break between the Leg Tucks and the 2-Mile Run. Hands are placed flat on the ground, the index finger will be inside the outer edge of the shoulder. As long as two or more Soldiers are taking the ACFT there is no programmed time for rest between the first 5 events. 
Toes will be touching the ground and the feet will placed together. The forehead, chest, hips and thighs will be on the ground. The start position is the prone position. This allows for additional upper body muscles to be exercised. T-pushup: In this event, Soldiers start in the prone position and do a traditional pushup, but when at the down position they move their arms outward and then back in to do another pushup. Rationale: In order to get stronger, you should generally perform 3-5 sets of 1-5 repetitions. Can be a combination of both strength and power in the same session. Leg Tuck Similar to the knees to elbows exercise and no time limit is prescribed. Perform dynamic, explosive movements for the same movement patterns in the 1-3 rep range for power.
