If you read one of our previous articles, or saw it posted elsewhere, the Army is changing its fitness test from the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) to the Army Fitness Test (AFT). The changes are minor as far as the events, and now the scoring charts have come out and there are some minor changes there as well. Let's look at the AFT scoring changes & breakdown. Below are the new standards.
Not many changes all together. Obviously they've removed the Standing Power Throw. However, you should also notice that the max weight on the Deadlift is now 350lbs. Previously, it was 340lbs. Now, that's not for all age groups, but that is the highest max weight now on the Deadlift.
Nothing else has really changed. I will say, and I said it in a previous article, the removal of the Standing Power Throw was a good choice. Now, if you are training to get the max score on the AFT so that you have more opportunities for schools and are fit and carry yourself well amongst your peers, your training just narrowed down a bit with the removal of a power test.
We'll be releasing a new article in the next few months about how to best train for the AFT. Keep an eye out for that article, and we'll talk to you soon.
Train hard, train smart, and let us know if you have any questions:
