EXPERIMENT #4: CORE HOW TO PLAY: A datasheet of this week's exercises has been provided here. Each test subject will be asked to complete a single AMRAP set in each exercise *up to their current capability*. AMRAP (As Many Repetitions As Possible) is defined as a the maximum reps completed *with good form* in a single set with minimal rest For single limb variants, use whichever limb you like. Feel free to use Google sheets' "add note" feature to add notes to the spreadsheet Partial reps are permitted FOR THE FINAL REP ONLY, however entering an AMRAP of 0 is not permitted. i.e. you may enter a score of 2.5 reps if you final rep was shallow or .5 reps if you only managed to go halfway in your first and final rep attempting an exercise, but you may not do 6 half reps and count those as a score of 3. If you have an injury that means you cannot do any of these exercises safely please contact your Guild Leaders for an alternative challenge for the week. Automated defense turrets may be present in the test area. Each participant will be awarded with a complementary companion cube free of charge (while supplies last, restriction may apply, please allow 6-8 centuries for shipping). The scoring formula is based on how many exercises were attempted (with diminishing returns) and number of reps. The exact details of the formula are confidential, however, based on the experiment's results, the scoring formula for next week's experiment may be modified. Automated defense turrets may be equipped with foam darts, water guns, or prototype energy weapons. All models are indistinguishable prior to activation. Up to 5 BONUS points will be awarded to any test subject who provides a link to a tutorial or example video for an exercise on the data sheet that does not yet have a video linked. This need not be your own video, so long as it is available for public usage. Please link it in this thread to claim your points. Automated defense turrets may, at random, be accidentally activated, on purpose. This week's winners will receive a special prize. Scores will be determined by the number and variety of exercises completed, and bonus points will be awarded for exceptional effort, so try as many as you can! This mini-challenge lasts until SUNDAY 11:59PM EST... so get pushing! >>Begin Now<< Normal Mini-Challenge Rules: - Mini-challenges are not mandatory, feel free to ignore this one if you don't want to participate.

Mini-Challenge Greetings and welcome to the Assassins’ Research Division, where we work tirelessly to create new and interesting challenges for the guild! During this tumultuous time of change in the Rebellion, we’ll be pulling back the curtain a little to conscript... er, I mean… recruit… guinea pigs… er, um… volunteers… for an ongoing... experiment. To volunteer, please enter your name into the spreadsheet located here. All Assassins, regardless of fitness level, are eligible and welcome to volunteer. Members of other guilds who wish to play along may do so - however, please note that you must have completed AT LEAST ONE FULL CHALLENGE on NF (Recruit/Rebel challenge) to participate. If this is your first challenge with Nerd Fitness, please come join us in February. In the interest of data integrity, all participants will be completing the experiments solo. A new experiment will be provided every week. The best performers will be rewarded.** **Guild Leaders and Lieutenant not responsible for any adverse effects of experiments, including but not limited to: heightened strength, general BAMF-ness, increased camaraderie, good times, excessive sweat, euphoria, and/or death. >>Volunteer Now<<
