The Standing Power Throw (Army ACFT) 

The Standing Power Throw is the second event of the #ACFT
Standards: Gold - 4.5m, Gray - 6.5m, Black - 8m
Training tips - Kettlebell Swings, Power Jumps, Air Squats
The #SPT is one of the easier events in the ACFT and gives your body a short recovery period after the deadlift.
HOWEVER, the Standing Power Throw still requires technique and tests your balance and coordination.
I’ve seen many strong athletes do terrible at this event because they had poor coordination. I’ve also seen “unathletic” athletes excel in this event because they had great form and great technique.
The 🔑 to this event is #PRACTICE. Understanding hand placement, foot placement, and trajectory is important in doing well for this.
In the gym, kettlebell swings, squats, deadlifts, straight leg deadlifts and #CORE are your friends.
I emphasized CORE because having a strong core will help you in every event in the ACFT.
