How many repetitions are required for the deadlift event in the ACFT?

In the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), the deadlift event requires participants to complete a specific number of repetitions to effectively assess their muscular strength and endurance. For this event, the standard is to perform a minimum of three repetitions. This requirement is crucial as it allows soldiers to demonstrate their ability to lift a maximum load while maintaining form and control over multiple lifts. Achieving at least three repetitions also helps assess the consistency and stamina of the soldier, key components in combat readiness and overall physical fitness.

The emphasis on three repetitions helps to ensure that participants are not only strong enough to lift the weight but also capable of doing so repeatedly, which is often necessary in various operational scenarios.
