For All People (who are registered)
The reason why we say this is “gender neutral, no advantage, equality event” is because it doesn’t matter how big of a body builder your are or how out of shape you are; technically, you really aren’t even competing against anyone else.
You are competing against yourself!
If your goals are to improve your conditioning and NOT strength, and you improve by 21%, than that 21% is simply compared to other competitors whom may have different goals. So if some massive body builder only improves his strength by 19% and you had an progress score of 21%, you win.
It’s completely based on how much you have improved from the time the event started to the end of the event.
Scoring
Now, this event only really works if there are at least 2 data points to compare. So, you mush have at least 1 data point entered at the start of the event (or any time after the start), then, a second data point at the end of the event.
So make sure you UPDATE YOUR STATS at least twice if you want a Progress Event score.
If you only ever work on your chest, and the only data point you ever enter is Bench Press; then the progress score will be based on the progress you have made on bench. Which is fine.
If you update every single workout on the Update Your Stats form, than all those data points will be averaged to produce a single Progress Score.
If you forgot to update your stats before the event started, that’s fine, update as soon as you can. We will use the earliest data point, closest to the beginning of the event and the last data point right before the end of the event. BUT no Progress score will be awarded if you did not provide a second, last, update BEFORE the end of the event.

This Progress Score, however, does get factored into your Overall Badass Score too. So ANYONE with ANY GOAL who makes actual progress toward their goals gets recognized and rewarded through boosting their badass score too! Let’s be honest, someone who was overweight and dropped massive amount of pounds and showed massive amount of progress, is WAY more respectable than someone who bumped their 1MR up by a few pounds. Badasses aren’t just someone who looks big and swoll, they can be the hardest workers too.
Get stronger.
Improve your conditioning.
Shave time off your run times.
Anything that shows progress, scores points.
