Challenge: Know Your Baseline

No extra challenge this week. The test is the challenge.

Why we test: You can't see progress if you never measure it.

This week, you'll record your starting numbers. 3 tests over 2 days. That's your baseline. You'll test again a few times in 2027, the same way, and see exactly how far you've come.

No scale. No body photos. No body measurements in your test results. We track what you can do.

Want to track your weight or take progress photos too? Go for it. They’re a solid accountability tool. Keep them for yourself, or share them in Wins & Proof if you’re comfortable. Your call, always.

New to this, or on the fence?

Do your best. Leave your ego out of it.

Just starting? Take the easier lane:

▪️ Push-ups: hands on a bench, or from your knees.

▪️ Grip: the dead hang, if you skipped Grip & Grit.

▪️ Mile: walk it. Slow down or stop whenever you need to. It all counts.

A small number is a good start. It's yours, and it's where your progress begins.

Nobody's judging you. It's you vs. you. What counts is showing up and getting better from here.

Racing or have an event coming up?

A race counts as a hard session, so the spacing rules still apply. Racing this week or early next? Test the week after, once you've recovered. Tapering? Protect the taper and test after.

Late tests count through Sunday, Nov 29.

How to test, and where to post your results

Everything's in the November Mission post: the tests, the lanes, the spacing rules and the results template. Drop your numbers in the comments there after Day B.

Reminder: Honest beats impressive.
