These aren’t cheats, just really good technique. I’ll teach you the best cheat ever that I learned in the 82nd that almost doubled my push-up score. Start doing your push-ups in the position he showed you. When you start to max out, rotate your hands slightly inward and start doing push-ups that way. When you max out in that position, rotate your hands even farther inward and go until you max out that way. After you’ve maxed out rotating your hands inward, rotate them all the way back to the way you were and continue doing push-ups. When you get tired that way, rotate them outward, so on and so forth. You’ll find this is triggering slightly different areas in your muscles and give you chest and arm strength you didn’t even know you had. My sit-up cheat you have probably already heard of. After you come up, let gravity throw your body to the ground. Never lower yourself to the ground. Sit-ups should feel like you're slapping the sh#t out of the ground with your body! Here is my 2 mile run cheat: nothing, it’s absolutely miserable and I hate freaking running. Here’s to the bad #sses who can go infantry for an entire career!

Best "cheat" is to do warm up pushups 5-10 minutes before you're due to go, and after that warmup just keep moving in place, moving your arms and such. The idea is to get keep your heart rate up and your blood flowing. Then when you hear the 1 minute warning of the person ahead of you who is doing the pushups, stop moving and start taking big breaths to increase blood oxygenation. By the time it's your turn to start, your body will be primed. After pushups, same thing for situps. Knock out a small set and then keep moving with the same rest and breathing before you go. Then same thing for the run. When you're done with the situps, ideally go take a shit if you can, and run to the bathroom to do so. Failing that, jog around for a minute or so and then keep moving. When you move to the starting line, rest and breath. Then when you start the run, don't try to run too hard at the beginning like everyone else does before gassing themselves.

The best way to "Cheat" on situps is to throw yourself back at the top and bounce off the ground. Breath out right when you're hitting the ground and breath in on the way up. You basically use a quarter of the muscle you would otherwise use, it's 75% momentum. I always maxed out with the bounce.

The push up technique should actually be based on which muscle is strongest, your chest or tri's. If your chest is stronger go wider, if it's weaker go closer. For the acft you are limited to a close stance, so if your chest is stronger turn your finger tips inward
@Gen_Kael5 жыл бұрын
On the situps, which I maxed waaay back before my hot dad bod, I'd throw myself back and use the bounce to come back up. It was easier to throw the weight back and bounce up and finish half a sit-up. I'd get 80 some situps on average. Highest as 90 something. But I also learned later, once I maxed that shit, save the rest for the run. Forget what that short timer tells you about giving it your all. You already maxed it. Who cares about the rest. But I was just a mechanized leg grunt 🤷♂️

The regulation states legs must be at a 90 degree angle during the APFT. So yes that's a cheat and if your grader does what he or she is supposed to do that repetition will not count. The other cheat would be to not go all the way down or all the way up during the pushup to be able to knock out more pushups.

Of course they take a lil here and there off for form (they have to😉 nobody's perfect). But it worked for the entire company. Nothin' but Diamonds a month before. It even worked for our 1st Sgt.

Is not really a cheat for the military there is a workout for strengthening your body and one to pass the test. For the first option, there is a ton of information available while the latter is more focus on energy and efficiency. The military does not give a damn how much a proper position push up or sit-ups you do as long you meet the required position. Is better to create a push-up and sit up routine for the test that focuses on numbers since that is how everyone is graded.
