I find it interesting that they are getting rid of the situp, and nobody is talking about the V-up. I cannot complete a single V-up without back pain. Situps have never bothered me. I'm also not stupid enough to pull on the back of my head to get an extra couple reps.

V-Up isn't part of the APFT. You may not be stupid enough, but you can't speak for the entire Army.

Couldnt agree more. Few people use perfect form and almost always put excessive strain on their neck

I have never had any neck strain with the sit up. If they want to correct it for those that use improper technique, then just switch it to am arms across chest version.

I used to like planks until I past the 3:00 mark. Now, it's hollow body holds, Windshield wipers, and Hanging Feet-to-bar raises.
