On the command, “GO,” you will stand up and lift the bar by straightening the hips and knees. All repetitions will begin from this position. Arms will be fully extended, back flat, head in line with the spinal column, and heels in contact with the ground. On the command, “GET SET,” you will bend at the knees and hips, reach down, and grasp the center of the handles using a closed grip. You must step inside the hex bar with feet shoulder width apart and locate the midpoint of the hex bar handles. A successful Maximum Deadlift attempt is three repetitions to standard.Ī Maximum Deadlift repetition consists of three parts: preparatory phase, upward movement, and downward movement. It is important to understand the difference between an attempt and a repetition. This test event requires well-conditioned back and leg muscles that assist Soldiers in load carriage and in avoiding injuries to the upper and lower back. For example, the Maximum Deadlift is a strong predictor of a Soldier’s ability to lift and carry a casualty on a litter and to lift and move personnel and equipment. The Maximum Deadlift is a muscular strength test that mimics movements required to safely and effectively lift heavy loads from the ground.
4 repetitions at 50 percent goal weight (rest 4 minutes or until Maximum Deadlift event starts).6 repetitions at 40 percent goal weight (rest 3 minutes).8–10 repetitions at 25 percent goal weight or with empty bar (rest 2 minutes).The recommended Maximum Deadlift preparation sets are: They should be confident that they can lift their goal weight while maintaining energy for the subsequent ACFT events. To improve their performance, Soldiers should know their goal weight for the test and should have lifted that weight in training. A 10-minute warmup for the Maximum Deadlift event should follow the same warm-up pattern used by the Soldier when training for the event.
The 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift (also known as MDL) is the first ACFT event. The ACFT assesses all components of physical readiness required to build movement lethality-muscular strength, muscular endurance, aerobic endurance, explosive power, and anaerobic endurance as well as speed, agility, flexibility, balance, and coordination. The test events have a high correlation with these physically demanding tasks. The ACFT predicts Soldier performance of warrior tasks and battle drills. Soldier combat readiness is the ability to meet the physical demands of any combat or duty position in order to accomplish the mission. The ACFT aims to accurately reflect Soldier combat performance capability linked to warrior tasks and battle drills (WTBD) and common Soldier tasks. The Army no longer conducts the APFT as of September 30, 2020. The ACFT replaced the APFT as the Army’s physical fitness test of record beginning October 1, 2020. The Army Combat Fitness Test consists of six events:
