Full Armor Benchmarks
Highlighting the Top 5 Performances for Every Workout
Track, Compare, Improve
What Are the Full Armor Benchmarks?
The Full Armor Benchmarks highlight the Top 5 performances for every workout we program. Each training day becomes a measurable test — a chance to push yourself, track progress, and see where you stand alongside your fellow athletes.
This isn’t a year-long points race. It’s about daily excellence.
Every workout serves as a benchmark — testing strength, conditioning, skill, endurance, and grit. When you give your best effort, your performance earns its place. The Top 5 scores for each workout are displayed as a snapshot of excellence within our community.
But this isn’t just about the fastest time or the heaviest lift.
It’s about building a culture where:
• Effort is visible
• Progress is measurable
• Excellence is recognized
• Everyone has something to pursue
Whether you’re working toward your first pull-up, building engine, increasing strength, or pushing for the top score of the day, the Benchmarks provide a clear standard — and a way to measure growth over time.
The Mission
To inspire consistency
To reward hard work
To track meaningful progress
To celebrate fitness at every level
The Full Armor Benchmarks aren’t just a leaderboard — they reflect our commitment.
A commitment to work hard for the Lord.
A commitment to steward the bodies we’ve been given
A commitment to sharpen one another through discipline and community.
Whether you land in the Top 5 or not, every workout matters. Every effort counts.
Fitness isn’t occasional — it’s a daily standard.

One Leaderboard. Everyone Together
At Full Armor Fitness League, we don't separate by age or gender - we compete together. Our programming ensures everyone gets appropriately scaled workouts, but we all chase the same goal: consistency, effort, and growth. A 60-year-old grandmother can outrank a 25-year-old athlete if she shows up more and works harder. That's real fitness. That's real community.
Why not separate divisions?
Most fitness competitions separate everyone - men vs women, young vs old, elite vs beginner. That creates silos. We believe real community happens when everyone competes together, appropriately scaled. Our programming ensures fairness - different weights, different modifications - but we all see each other on the same board. That's how we create a movement where a 60-year-old and a 25-year-old are training partners, not strangers. It's not about who's the strongest - it's about who's the most consistent, most dedicated, and most willing to show up.
How It Works:
-
The Full Armor Fitness League follows a structured five-day training rhythm—Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Each week is thoughtfully designed with purposeful variety to challenge every element of fitness. Active recovery is scheduled for Thursdays and Sundays, offering athletes the opportunity to recover, reset, and still earn points along the way.
-
All performances can be logged here to the weekly score sheet. Each workout will have a specific score to track and submit
-
Each week the leaderboard will be updated to show current rankings. Ranking will combine both men and women of all ages. There will also be rankings and winners every month (6 categories: Men, Women, Boys U16, Girls U16, Men 50+, Women 50+). As well as highlighting the the 5 performers each week.
-
Our point system is designed to reward consistency, effort, and performance across every workout.
Workout Completion
Every athlete who completes a scheduled workout earns 10 points, regardless of placement.
Active Recovery Participation
Athletes who participate in scheduled active recovery days earn 5 points for checking off that they completed the work.
Workout Placements
Placement points are awarded based on the number of athletes competing in that workout.
If there are 20 athletes, 1st place earns 20 points, 2nd earns 19, 3rd earns 18, and so on, down to 1 point for the final placement.
This structure automatically scales to the size of the field, keeping competitions fair and competitive.
For load-based scored workouts we will separate the male and female athletes for point distribution.
Rx vs. Scaled Divisions
Rx athletes are always ranked above Scaled athletes. There will be Rx variations for 50+ as well as 16 and under.
Scaled performances are ranked by placement.
By combining participation points with placement points, the Full Armor Fitness League rewards athletes who show up consistently, put in the work, and perform well—without penalizing those focused on long-term progress.
Why This Matters:
Building A Clear Picture of True Fitness:
-
One of the hardest things to do is being consistent and this is also one of the most important pieces of achieving lifelong fitness.
-
Volume spread across a year is far better for the body than high volume in short durations.
-
This gives athletes to strategize and really attack a workout with everything they’ve got.
-
With the amount of test we can cover this truly gives us a clear shot of fitness
Who Can Join
The Full Armor Fitness League is open to everyone worldwide. Our mission is to help athletes consistently improve their fitness while reigniting the spirit of competition so many of us love.
More Than Fitness
This isn’t just about workouts—it’s about building lifelong relationships, sharpening one another, and strengthening body, mind, and spirit through a shared experience.
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand...” — Ephesians 6:11
Getting Started
What to Expect
Each week you’ll receive league workouts designed to test a broad range of fitness skills—strength, endurance, power, agility, and more. Workouts can be completed anywhere, points are awarded based on performance and consistency. Expect both a competitive push and a supportive community cheering you on.
Equipment
Most workouts require only standard gym equipment (barbell, plates, pull-up bar, jump rope, dumbbells, etc.). Workouts will include options for limited or at-home equipment to ensure accessibility for everyone. So even if your traveling or have to modify the workout due to lack of equipment you will still earn points and a place on the leaderboard.
Scaling
Every workout can be modified to your ability level. Rx athletes will rank above scaled, but scaling ensures that all participants, regardless of fitness level, can safely complete the workouts and stay in the competition. Some workouts you might Rx some you might scale either way your still in the competition and will continue to grow daily in your fitness.
Submissions
Scores must be submitted for each week by 5pm EST each Sunday. Videos may be requested for top performers or in the event of a scoring dispute to ensure fairness. Submit scores here
