- There are NO prizes on offer and we're leaving it up to you to be honest with your submissions.
- You have 2 weight categories available to choose from LWT or HWT. No we're not going to ask you to prove this so please don't email us pics of scales - just be honest.
- Each week will have 3 workouts all released on the Monday at 01:00am PST, and to be submitted by 23.59hrs PST on that weeks Friday.
- You can retry each as many times in the day as you wish, but only ONE SUBMISSION will count.
- Photos and videos as proof of score are optional. Again this is a free competition so we trust you to be honest with your submissions.
