Your biggest competition is often yourself. Whether you're trying to add weight to your squat, improve your mile time, hit more reps, or simply move better than you did last month, this challenge is about making measurable progress. You don't have to beat everyone else—just beat your own previous best.

I’m going after my mile time.

Deadlift PR for sure! I’ve been stuck at the same number for a few weeks.

Pull-ups would be mine. Getting those last couple of clean reps is way harder than it looks.

Bench press. Even adding another 5 pounds would be a solid win for me.

I’d choose endurance because my strength is decent, but my cardio definitely needs some work

I’m definitely joining this challenge! My main goal is to beat my squat PR, but I’d also like to improve my mile time. I think it would be awesome to track both strength and conditioning and see how much progress I can make over the next few weeks.

Push-ups for me. Simple challenge, but once you get past 40-50 reps, they start getting spicy.

I’d go for a rowing time. I’ve been adding more conditioning lately, so having a number to beat would make training feel more competitive.

New squat PR, no question. I’ve been consistent with my workouts and recovery, so now I want to see if that extra work actually shows up on the bar.
