In this episode the Crew dials the voicemail to answer a question from a loyal Power Athlete Radio listener:

Hey, what’s up The Crew? This is Brian and I am a Army Reservist and we have the new ACFT, the Army Combat Fitness Test, that is being implemented now. I am just wondering what would be the best program ya’ll would recommend. Also, what are some of the exercises for the specific training for the test? One of the things that I am worried about is how to maximize the standing power throw, which is a 10-pound medicine ball thrown behind this for distance. The max distance is 15 m. I know this is a display of power, but one of the things we’re thinking is maybe some power cleans or, you know, kettlebell swings to kind of help us out. So maybe a topic for the show to discuss. Thanks.

Empower Soldier and Unit Combat Readiness For the ACFT

The US Army has officially gone all in on a new fitness test to gauge a soldier’s preparedness for stresses of a combat environment. The gauntlet of push ups, sit-ups and run was not enough to address the poor physical fitness of recruits and reduce risk of injuries, so they bulked up the test a little bit. Will increasing the difficulty of the test force soldiers to adapt how they prepare?! It worked for Pauly Shore.
