Something as simple as a PDF sent via email to everyone detailing each "step" of the challenge along with recommended exercises to improve your results for each step would probably be very beneficial. I've seen plenty of "skinny" people that couldn't do a pull-up which I believe strengthens my suggestion that the challenge requires specific skills that can be improved with specific exercises.

Is it just me or am I the only one that believes this administration is all about looking good and nothing about providing the citizens with the highest trained and most knowledgeable deputies available.

I'm burning a lot more calories trying to learn how to use the new MDT, first time in my life I'd rather do 3 pull ups versus a x28/x29.....
