Yeah I’d heard the army was putting the deadlift into this, but I didn’t know what the rep/weight goal was. Certainly a whole lot different that the USMC cft.

A lot of this stems from Matt Wenning’s work with the Rangers about 10 years ago. He got hold of an entire Battalion and had them stop the typical APFT (running 2 miles, push-ups, sit-ups) and focus on strength and power movement, such as deadlifts, squats, military press, farmers carries, all that good stuff. When they deployed a few months later, their injury rate for the deployment went down dramatically.
