The #ACFT Series
Standards:
Gold - 3:00, Silver - 2:30, Black - 2:10
The #SDC is the hardest event to MAX in the ACFT, yet one of the easier events to pass.
Why?
The SDC requires Soldiers to have speed, agility, strength, IQ and endurance. The COMPLETE package of an athlete.
SPEED for some come natural, however you have to know your physical ability. If you go too hard on the first sprint, you may tire yourself too much for the drag.
#STRENGTH comes into play on the drag, and for the kettlebell carry. Smaller Soldiers may have a harder time on the drag and carry because 90lbs could easily be more than half of their body weight.
Water jug carries, sled drags/pushes, deadlifts and squats can help you out a ton with these exercises as well as your technique.
#IQ is required because you have to set up your own lane prior to the event and know exactly what side of the lane to run to begin your next exercise. (Ex. Placing the KB on the left side of the lane.)
#ENDURANCE is one of the main skills that a Soldier must posses in order to do well. The SDC is a good test for how much volume/strain you can place on your body in a short amount of time.
I recommend doing slow, long runs/bikes/swims in the anaerobic zone to boost up your endurance.
The SDC is by far the most exciting event in the ACFT and makes PT that much more enjoyable.
