I've been worrying a lot about if I'll be able to pass the heavy standards for the ACFT. Currently, I can do 30 - 50 hand release pushups, run the two mile in 17:16, do ZERO leg tucks, throw 6.8 meters in the ball throw, and perform the spring drag carry in 2 minutes and 25 seconds. They only had us deadlift the minimum at BCT, so I don't know what my max is. I'm passing two and pretty close on most of the other events, but no cigar. AIT is at least 9 months away, which means I've got at least 9 months to train. What exercises should I do in this time to prepare(particularly ones I could do at home, since gyms are still shut down)?

Check out the ACFT IOC, most of the exercises will not require equipment. This will give you something to work with.

Does your unit have a master fitness trainer? Reach out to other members of your unit to see what they are doing to get ready for this new test. Everyone is in the same situation, you are being proactive and that is outstanding.

Someone has already attached the FM. That's going to be your best training information. But would focus a lot on pull up and core exercises. This has been a challenge for many.
