Hence why I still haven’t come across someone who can do a Leg Tuck without being able to do a pull-up. I put compromise in quotations because, just based on doing some Leg Tucks, you still need a decent amount of upper body strength. Then after some time a “compromise” was reached. And the brave soul that suggested it was probably shot on site (I mean verbally shot on site, but maybe also phyiscally shot on site too). I’d bet all my money that they wanted Pull-Ups included, or at least one person did. Now, I have a few theories on how the Leg Tuck came to be in the ACFT. I hope were alone now, because someone will probably get mad for what I’m about to say. Going to keep rolling with the Top 100 Songs of 1987 throughout so feel free to click on the song title if you need a little break. But musical metaphors aside, I’m here to help you with the Army’s ACFT Leg Tuck. After looking at the lyrics, it seemed only fitting to help describe all those soldiers who are out there on their own without any help when it comes to training for the ACFT. To be honest I have wrote and scrapped 4 variations of this blog so far, so “Here I go again.” I said that to myself when I opened up my computer this 3 rd time and thought, “Isn’t that a song?” Hence, where the 2-hour rabbit hole came in. Now you’re probably wondering why I chose to reference a White Snake song for this Blog in the first sentence. Welp it happened and this is where we are now. Funny how a google search turns into falling down a 2-hour rabbit hole of the Top 100 songs of 1987. So make up your mind, and stop wasting all your time. You’re not a drifter that was born to walk alone. You don’t have to keep goin’ down the only road you’ve ever known. Stop walking the lonely streets of dreams. You don’t have to keep searchin’ for an answer and never seeming to find what you’re lookin’ for. Now it’s on death row waiting to get lethal injected in a few months for the ACFT to come. Just a couple of simple movements that you could do anywhere. Back then times were easy, the APFT was alive and well and it didn’t take much to train for it. It’s not 1987 and White Snake is no longer on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 chart at #7 with their hit “Here I Go Again”.
