Doing well on your next ACFT requires a safe and specific plan. This is designed to give you just that; We've made the program, and now the hard work is up to you! We are Doctors of Physical Therapy who work with military athletes of all levels and all branches. This program came about to solve a problem for the service members we treat on a daily basis. From overuse injuries to flare-ups of previous injuries, many are training in a way that leads to poor results or inability to test at all due to pain. All you need is a barbell, weight plates, kettlebell, dumbells and a heavy power band. We hope this program provides you with the guidance and accountability you need to score well on the new ACFT.
