The Cold War era Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) is on it’s way out. It is being replaced by the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT). The reasons are clear, for the last 17 years, our Military has been engaged in a war unlike any war it has ever experienced. The new six event ACFT was developed to better predict a Soldier’s readiness for the demands of our modern day battlefield. Each event was designed to mimic a movement commonly found in combat. The new ACFT will increase the physical readiness of our Soldiers for the combat physicality demanded of them by this modern battlefield.

The ACFT is MUCH harder than the APFT. If you believe you can “just wing it” or wait until a couple of weeks before the ACFT to start training for it, you are sadly delusional. The Fire Team Whiskey Cadre are here to get you ready. START TRAINING NOW. Your continued service in the military, your life or your buddy’s life depend on it. Fire Team Whiskey Cadre Stephanie Lincoln (former Army Captain) put together a 30-day program that will take you from a NOGO to a GO in 30 days. This program not only gets you stronger in everything you need to be strong at in order to pass the ACFT, but it provides you the nutritional interventions you need to build muscle, burn fat, and fuel your body like a Warrior. Get ARMY STRONG in 30 days with this Program.

QUICK START

We suggest you give yourself a diagnostic ACFT test prior to doing this 30-day program, then give yourself a diagnostic after completing the 30-day program. We realize that there have been several changes to the ACFT since we created this course, including the removal of the leg tuck event, we decided to leave the leg tuck preparation workouts as a part of this training course. We personally disagree with the reasons why the Army pulled this event, so out of knowing that being able to pull your own body weight above a bar will make you stronger, we highly encourage you to not skip those workouts.

The most important part about getting fit is fueling your body right. If you are feeding your body garbage, your body output will be garbage. Eating real, whole foods that consist mainly of long lasting, sustainable energy is key over the next 30 days. We highly recommend that you participate in the Fire Team Whiskey ACFT Prep Nutrition Plan while you complete this 30 day course.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

As we know, the ACFT requires quite a bit of equipment. The ACFT prep 30 day course shows you how to best train at home or at a gym using equipment commonly found. You will most likely need to purchase a couple pieces of equipment if you do not have a well equipped gym or you are doing workouts at a home gym. Here is the equipment used in the FTW ACFT Prep Workout Videos that you can purchase if you are in need of additional equipment.
