Alvin you explain that exercise very good. Thanks for the time that you take to help a lot of people like me. Right now I'm waiting for the board it's in February and I'm doing hiit workout and a lot of push up and ABS. I'm very grateful with you. And you have a brother here in Puerto Rico.
For whatever reason leg tucks are my strength as a female, but I think being short is an advantage. Being able to do a lot of pull-ups probably helps! Also I practice using L-hangs from the bar (good for the abs!).
it's all about weight displacement. The shorter you are, the higher your weight displacement is. Taller people will have a lot harder time with this event. Luckily Im average at 5'9", and have a relatively moderate level of fitness and can at least do one.
Every time I hear of people failing the leg tuck event I always ask them one question. Can you perform the climbing drill for PRT? If you can do the climbing drill, you can do a leg tuck full stop. If you do not know what the climbing drill is there is a PRT app that has all of the information for the ACFT in it directly from FM 7-22. If you do PRT you will pass the ACFT you wont max it, but you will pass it.
thing i notice, at the start of acft rollout(acft 1.0) i can barely do 3, but when they said the allow planks, when i trained and maxout the plank(4 something min)my leg tuck improved tremendously like in the double digits
Thanks for the vid! One question though, can you alternate grips during the event or does the hand have to stay on the bar the entire time? For instance, start off with the left hand in front of the right, then half way move the left hand behind the right.
Must the arms be flexed? Can the soldier have a straight or slightly bent (15 degrees) arm while bringing the knees to the elbows? Or is that ~75-90 degree elbow flexion required for the repetition to count?
@@AlvintheDirector you may use gloves during any of the events, so long as they comply with AR 670-1. (See paragraph 1-24 of the ACFT IOC). Arctic Warriors! Arctic Tough!
Funny they drop this because of females but in the past all those amazing women that were taught and trained and actually accomplish this good job but like every thing now a days lower the bar because the the enemies are also😂😂🤦 ya ok
What are your concerns with the leg tuck? 👀

The leg tuck has been removed!

Arms must be slightly bent when both knees touch elbows
Do we have to use our bare hands or can we use chalk, gloves, etc to help us grip the bar?
I’m not 100% sure. I recommend practicing without using anything. However, FM 7-22 will help answer questions you may have
My battalion allows issued gloves to be used for all soldiers.

@@noahjohnson3148 Hooah!
my unit allows gloves for deadlift, not chalk
You can do planks instead now. Soldier choice
Y’all...you have to do 1one. What is the issue?
How many leg tugs you need to do to pass?
1, 3 or 5.. depending on your MOS
@@AlvintheDirector 1??
Oh that's definitely better than doing a plank
@@AlvintheDirector how much to pass 11 b
The leg tuck isn’t hard lol don’t see why people keep bitching about the leg tuck
Because is a technique difficult for some people
