  • ACFT EVENTS:
    3 Rep Deadlift
    Standing Power Throw
    Sprint Drag Carry
    3 Minute plank
    Hand release push-ups
    Two mile run
    I am aware I used an old photo of the acft in this video, the leg tuck has been replaced by the plank

    Don't know about today's Army, but back-in-day it didn't matter what shape you were in. The Drill Sargeants would purposely break you down mentally and physically in order to bring you along as a team. Resistance was futile. If you rebelled you were going to have a rough time, or get recycled.

      It's still this way team building and morale are really big in bct or atleast they were for me last year. I went in as a big guy and most of my platoon were little guys so we'd all suffer together and in the end the big guys came out smaller and the small guys came out bigger 😂 it was fun though

    Appreciate you bro 🙏 going in to basic July 1st. Kinda in the same boat as you with the more powerlifting style. Completely switched up my training for these last 2 months to a lot of body weight and running. just one heavy day a week instead of all 4-5

      its for sure a dramatic change in workout programing but remember this is temporary! once you finish up in basic and ait and get out of that tradoc environment you can slowly get back into that powerlifting style workout routine at your unit.

      Remember start at your own pace but push past that comfort zone!! Do a verity of cardio workouts but mainly focus on long distance running do a mile 4 times a week as a good start

    How many push ups should I be doing a day to get prepared. I work out 4 days out the week. I run up some huge hills and jog too.

    • @KingCurt209
      @KingCurt209  2 місяці тому +2

      Work on doing proper form push-ups more than anything also to help you for when it's time to do the acft look into hand release push-ups and train on holding the pushup position for a while also coming down and up slow

    Is running or rucking the best way to increase endurance? I get tired easily and i want to work on that

    • @KingCurt209
      @KingCurt209  3 місяці тому +4

      Do both if you can! I regret not rucking before basic but it's good conditioning for your feet

      @KingCurt209  3 місяці тому

      Could do that but I wouldn't recommend it that's a drastic sudden change
