Yeah, replaced with Leg Tucks. Pull-ups for girls. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Umm...no, the leg tuck is a core exercise and a fairly difficult one at that. The deadlift is the "pull" (and the king of lifts). Here is why this is outstanding. This thing has multiple minimum requirements for different MOS's based on the demands of the job. It is gender and age neutral (as is combat). As always, PT score is also promotion points and NCOER bullet points. So now, if someone wants to be a PT stud, they still need the upper body strength of push ups, but more of it (T-push ups are harder). They need more true core strength than the injury producing feet-held sit ups ever demanded. They need the total body pulling power to put up a big dead number, they need good anaerobic conditioning (most important energy system for combat) to max the shuttle run-drag. I'm neutral on the med ball throw, I think that will be as much about technique and practice as power. Oh, still gotta put in a decent 2mi time. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

What? You mean you'll no longer get to hold your buddy's feet while he's doing sit-ups, all the while turning his ass inside out rocket farting in your face with every rep? The Army just ain't what it used to be. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Long have our people suffered through the tests of those 'average' in size. Yes, Mr. Short-built-like-a-fireplug-Wrestler, you can do so very many pushups, but you only need to move six inches for each rep. Try it when you have another 16 inches tacked on. Life is hard when you're in the 99th percentile for height, so very, very hard. A well balanced breakfast being necessary to the start of a healthy day, the right of the people to keep and eat food shall not be infringed. | |||
