Brandon Bartz, Co-Owner of Foundation in East Moline, Illinois, observes Soldiers of First Army practicing their technique that will be used during the standing power throw of the Army Combat Fitness test. Bartz said often Soldiers will bend their knees too much followed by hyper-extending their backs and throw from there, but the power actually comes from tightening of the core and posterior. Bartz said, it’s the hyper extension of the back that causes so many injuries. The standing power throw is the second event of the ACFT.
