5 Hacks to improve your ACFT score 🏋️

[Glace_to_the_face]

The ball throw tip is good
The plank rule is you can have your feet more than a fist length away.
For the sprint drag carry, practice running backwards, it works your calves and it’s what people usually go the slowest on. I scored a 1:15

And here I thought he was going to use Army sarcasm such as "do more pushups, goober!" But this was actually helpful!

[MichaelDavis-uuzh]

Accurate. Also lean forward a little bit on the plank will engage your shoulders more and help out.

Can't wait for my CSM to bitch about people doing things that are perfectly in regs lmao. Memes aside good video I'll have to try your advice

[thmountainvet]

Elbows out will wreck your shoulders; teach good form/ technique and build strength through full range of motion, don’t rely on “hacks” to just pass. A good Soldier is fit, physically and mentally tough. This doesn’t happen in a day. Take time, build your body and team. Stay strong!

You are a very helpful mentor and NCO keep up the great work!

man I'm glad I got out when the APFT was still the official pt test.

[tonyrobinson]

The minimum standards for the ACFT is way too easy but it would be really hard to max. My standard was a 2 mile run in 16:36 or less, 42 pushups in 2 minutes and 50 situps in 2 minutes.

I needed this! Been practicing before I go in!

Bro didn’t even talk about the 2 mile run

So for the Plank, same as T Push ups, I was told that your feet can only go as far as the graders' foot width?

[Not_A_JTAC]

Feet can only be a boot width not boot length apart. Essentially 3-4 inches depending on the size of the graders foot

[KollektorKahn]

I tried the T push ups and I had to argue with my grader about it. I had to do it by the default way.

Glad I’m out before the brilliant top brass of the army decided to implement this crap. That was one main reason I ets’d and didn’t re-up cuz every time a new commander came in he would change our s.o.p.’s that worked well. F that shit. Plus I got tired of freezing my ass off .

[Motownsports]

Thanks much!! I'll remember these this October

[ethancarta]

I can already see all the SSG and SFC grades failing people for trying to use these tips because they didn’t read the regs

[JJ.Picasso]

Its all fun and games till your grader is having a bad day and takes it out on your score

[Princefit-ctkj]

[sadistic_bushmaster]

What tips can you give me on the 2 mile run? 🤔

[theotherside]
