Weight enhancements: For each exercise, any additional weight can be added to the score for a 1-time weight enhancement, so long as a minimum of 10 reps with the same weight were completed. For example:
• If you do 20 deadlifts with 100lb of weight, your score for the exercise would be 120. That’s 1 point per deadlift +100 points for the weight.
• If you ruck 3 miles with a 40lb load, your score for the exercise would be 340. That’s 100 points/mile +40 points for the added weight.
• If you complete 50 man-makers with a pair of 25lb dumbbells, first off, NICE! Secondly, you would score 300 points. 5 points per man-maker and an additional 50 points for the weight.
• If you deadlift 1000 pounds for one rep, you may not turn in a score of 1001. You have impressed us but your shenanigans will not be awarded points.

Recovery Day: To remove the pressure of competition, Sundays are a recovery day. You can still exercise, but it is not scored. This allows a day of rest for those who need it. There is no rest for sending encouragement/discouragement in preparation for the week to come.
