How the program is structured
Phase 1 — Movement Standards
Learn the hand-release push-up and leg tuck (or plank sub) properly.
Hand-Release Push-Ups
Lower all the way down, lift both hands off the floor briefly, then press back up — the ACFT standard, removes any bounce out of the bottom.
Leg Tucks
Hang from a bar, pull both knees toward the chest, lower under control. If you can't hang yet, sub in the plank hold.
Bodyweight Squats
Feet shoulder-width, sit hips back and down, drive through heels.
Phase 2 — Volume & Conditioning
Add rounds and mixed conditioning work.
Mountain Climbers
Hands under shoulders, drive knees to chest quickly, keep hips low.
Plank Hold
Forearms down, straight line from head to heels, brace the core.
Jump Squats
Squat down, explode straight up, land soft with bent knees.
Phase 3 — Test-Week Taper
Reduce volume, sharpen pace, arrive fresh for test day.
Hand-Release Push-Ups
Lower all the way down, lift both hands off the floor briefly, then press back up — the ACFT standard, removes any bounce out of the bottom.
Leg Tucks
Hang from a bar, pull both knees toward the chest, lower under control. If you can't hang yet, sub in the plank hold.
