Spiritual Minded Military New York Army Reserve: How to Improve My ACFT Score—The Combat Fitness Protocol

YOUR ACFT SCORE IS NOT A MYSTERY

You have an idea of your deadlift. You have a round time. You can remember what events you miss and what events you pass on. Knowledge is not a problem, but the lack of it is. The problem is doing it.

You have followed the training guides. Reviewed YouTube videos. You've been seeking counsel from your NCOs. Even with your score, you cannot move.

This is what the fitness industry doesn't want you to know. Exercise causes muscle tissue to be broken down. Nutrition re-establishes your body. You have been exercising and eating like a regular person. That's why your score is where it is.

There are three steps to the Combat Fitness Protocol. Not ten parts. Not twenty parts. Three parts.

• Part One: Fueling the body before training.
• Part Two: Hydrate during training. 
• Part Three: You've trained; now it's time to recover your body.

That is it. The protocol is designed to be easy to follow. It is not a simple task to perform. Easy and simple are not synonymous.

THE BEFORE: WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR BODY BEFORE YOU TRAIN

You are a weapon with your body. No gun with no ammo.

The Deadlift Problem

You walk into the armory. The barbell has been loaded. The knurling is in contact with your hands. You take a big breath. You pull.

Your legs shake. Your backgrounds. The bar does not move.

Stamina is not the issue! The issue is your fuel. Your muscles use creatine phosphate to give them explosive power. You're out of creatine phosphate.

The solution: Creatine Monohydrate. Five grams per day. Every day. Not just before the test. Not only on training days. Every day.

The Sprint-Drag-Carry Problem

The sled is heavy. The cones are very spaced out. Your heart is pounding. You're having trouble seeing clearly. Legs feel like concrete.

It isn't your cardiovascular fitness that's the issue. The issue is your energy system. The sprint-drag-carry is powered by ATP. Your ATP is produced from carbohydrates. Your carbs are empty.

The solution: Consume carbohydrates prior to training. Not cookies. Not donuts. Rice. Potatoes. Oatmeal. Fruit. Real fuel.

The Leg Tuck Problem

You grab the bar. You hang. Pull knees toward chest. Your grip fails. Your core fails. You drop it.

It's not your lower back strength! So, you lack grip endurance and you are dehydrated. Dehydrated muscles cramp. Cramped muscles fail.

The solution: Cellular Hydrate – Electrolyte Formula before you train. One scoop. Sixteen ounces of water. Sodium and potassium keep your muscles firing.

THE DURING: WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR BODY WHILE YOU TRAIN

You're in the middle of your workout. You are sweating. You are breathing rapidly. Your body is crying out for resources.

The Hydration Problem

The majority of soldiers are training while dehydrated. They don't know about it. They believe that the signal is thirst. Thirst is a sign that you are already dehydrated.

Dehydration causes your blood to become thicker. Blood that is thick will make your heart work harder. The harder the heart, the slower the times. The lower the times, the higher the scores.

The solution: CELLULAR HYDRATE – Electrolyte Formula while exercising. Sip it. Do not chug it. Small amounts. Consistent amounts.

The Energy Problem

You hit the wall. The body runs out of gas. Your brain turns off. You start to feel your legs not moving anymore.

The wall is not a secret. The wall is glycogen depletion. Glycogen is stored in your muscles. Glycogen is a carbohydrate. You ran out.

For long workouts, carbohydrates are the answer. Gatorade is nothing more than sugar water. Use real food. Dates. Bananas. Rice cakes. Simple fuel.

THE AFTER: WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR BODY AFTER YOU TRAIN

The workout is complete. You've damaged your body. Your muscles are torn. Your vitality has been depleted.

The Recovery Problem

You finish training. You drink water. Uses any food available. You go to sleep. You wake up sore. You train again. There is no pain that goes away.

It's not how hard you work during training. The challenge is your recovery plan. Protein rebuilds muscle. Carbs replenish glycogen. Electrolytes restore balance.

The solution: Creatine monohydrate after training. One scoop. Protein in 30 minutes. Carbs within 2 hours. Hydrate cellularly throughout the day.

The Sleep Problem

Hard training does not allow for sleep. Your body is wired. You can't think straight. You are in a heightened state of stress.

It's not your willpower that's the problem. The issue is with your nervous system. High cortisol levels are associated with hard training. Cortisol is an anti-sleep hormone.

The solution: Magnesium. Cellular Hydrate has magnesium. Magnesium lowers cortisol. Magnesium improves sleep.

THE NEW YORK REALITY

You live in New York. Your armory is located in Albany. You have a civilian position in Manhattan. Your drill weekend is at Fort Drum. You drive for hours to train. You have to trek for hours to drill. You travel hours to arrive at your destination.

The enemy uses the commute as his weapon. You don't have the time to train. You don't have the time or energy to prepare food. There's no money for supplements.

The Combat Fitness Protocol has been developed for the New York soldier.

Creatine monohydrate is inexpensive. The key to Cellular Hydrate is simplicity. Real Food is on display. No gym is required. A nutritionist is not required. A protocol is required.

The protocol doesn't give a crap either about living in Buffalo or Brooklyn. The protocol has no restrictions on its use.
