Split two minutes into four 30-second checkpoints
The hand-release push-up event of the US Army Fitness Test (AFT) runs for two minutes, and the usual way to fail it is to burn the first thirty seconds and then stall. Enter a target rep count and this tool reports the average reps per minute, reps per ten seconds and seconds per rep, then lays out the cumulative count you should be at by 30, 60, 90 and 120 seconds under several pacing plans.
A plan only changes how the work is split between the first and the second minute. Even is 50:50, front-loaded is 60:40, heavy front is 70:30, and the last row uses a first-minute share you type in between 30 and 80. Within each half the reps are spread evenly, and rounding happens once at display time, so the 120-second column always equals the target exactly.
The tool does not tell you which plan produces more reps. No governing body publishes an optimal pacing split for a two-minute rep test, and muscular endurance curves differ between people. It also holds no point table and no pass mark, because published per-event scoring tables disagree between sources. Take your target from the official scoring tables and type it in.
Frequently asked questions
Nobody knows. There is no official optimal split for a two-minute rep test, so the plans are shown side by side and the tool does not pick a winner.
Yes. Only the intermediate checkpoints are rounded, and the final column reuses the target you typed in.
No. Published per-event point tables disagree between sources, so none is stored here. Check the official scoring tables for your age group and sex.
