firestorm

Hey guys and gals. I haven't been training on a daily basis since last March since the BIG Snow storm when I blew my shoulder out. I've lost a good amount of muscle and gained some unwanted bodyweight(fat). I'm feeling much better and just completed my 1st full week of training and feel like the body is holding up. (knocking on wood). For a little motivation and fun, I'm looking for some members who would like to partake in an online complition.
Not so much who looks the best after a certain period but who made the best progress. Now this means the winner could be a 300 pounder who looses 60 or so pounds or a skinny 190 pound weakling who packs on some muscle.
I will start with some rules and everyone can have a say on how this goes and we can come up with a set of final rules.

1. You MUST be NATURAL. No juice heads please. That would not fair to all of us that do it the "hard" way. (and we know who you guys are from the Anabolic thread) Start a similar contest in there if you wish.

2. Must post a "recent" picture with a piece of cardboard or paper in the photo with the date on it or holding something odd that you wouldn't normally hold for a photograph. We can come up with that later if anyone wants to do this.

3. Half way through the contest you post another pic showing your progress. this will give everyone who feels they are lagging MORE motivation to work harder to beat you.


3. Judges will be 2 men, 2 women from the site that are not in the contest. We'll have to wait and see who if anyone enters this and then start asking around for volunteers. Moderators would be my 1st pick for judges.

4. WOMEN OF COURSE CAN ENTER!!! Again this is not a bodybuilding contest but a best progress contest.

5. No WHORING in the FINAL CONTEST THREAD. Contest talk during the contest is all that is welcomed. Non competitors are welcomed to comment on photos etc but please don't turn it into a whore thread. Don't fill it up with bullshit one liners.

6. All starting and final result photos have to be submitted by a certain agreed to start and ending date to be included in the contest or be judged in the final vote.

ALL RULES including mine above have to be agreed upon by the CONTESTANTS.

OK NOW,, WHO IS IN?

Firestorm, I'm in. Let me know when this all starts. Or, is there going to be a time limit? I think this will be great motivation for me as I'm training and dieting down for my figure competitions coming up VERY soon.

Good luck and Pm me when you're ready.

Hey outstanding Babsie!!! If you already started that is just fine but get a pic taken now if you already started dieting down etc. There is nothing wrong with getting a jump start but take the pic. Everyday you wait, your loosing Body fat and progressing. you want to look your worst for that 1st pic or 2. You can submit your pic anytime but we will all decide a deadline for the 1st picture. Probably withing the next week or 2 for sure. We just need more constestants. Come over to this thread to see what is happening so far regading other contestants and judges:

OK this is looking up. Now we have my favorite person "down under" in. And another fellow, J'Bo worshiper. hahaha

J'Bo

Shorty, Dale, Babe, and Rock are also competitors.

So from the head judge: LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
I dont think that its nessesary to post the before pics until we have the after pics...some may not want to...however i do think that the competitors should email me there 3 sided, in small clothing to me...pm me and i will give you me addy

Happy training and stay clean cause i dont want to have to come down there and test the pee

....and thats my $.02

firestorm

No you have to have before pics. otherwise someone can post a pic from last year or something like that. ya have to post a starting pic so everyone else can follow the progress. That is what makes it so fun after it starts.

J'Bo

no i mean you have to have before pics but some people may not want to post the befores until the afters are posted....get it hun? i can archive them until we reveal all three photos.

....and thats my $.02

firestorm

nope,, they gotta post for all of us to see what we are competing against.

Burner02

hmm...I could do it..but I am shy with pics.

when do we start? or did I miss that date?

Success leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results

Nobody cares what you did yesterday or what you are going to do tomorrow. What is important is what you are doing NOW to solve our problem

Okay peeps, I'm in!

Now when does this start and how long is it supposed to be going on?

Jenny

But I dunno about posting full body before pics Yah, I'm shy too

BUSTINOUT

No offense flamer...uh...I mean fs, but you have a big misunderstanding on this subject. Don't want to take this thread off topic, but one good jab deserves another.

Now, onto the contest. I too have been in a similar situation as you, except mine was not due to injury. I have also been clean for a year and a half now. Would I be elligable to enter? Lemme know flamer

maniclion

I'm down. I propose it start October 1 and end May 1.

J'Bo

Everyone has to post their before pic in the appropriate thread by midnight IM time September 30th. This gives plenty of time to grab a camera and some film, get fat lookin and post the worst pic of your life. End date is May 1st, 2004.

Here is the list of people entered so far:
-firestorm
-burner
-dale
-rock
-rissy
-maniclion
-bo (yes you qualify that is if you look like shit right now jk)
-pepper

-jenny
-shorty
-babsie
-hikerchick

Remember photos must be taken in a swim suit or something that shows off your bod. Take one front shot, one side and one ass...i mean back shot. Oh and you must show what date it is in the photo.
Also to gage improvements properly everyone should also post their measurements. Neck (around the mid part) Chest (at nipple line) Upper Arm (extended at shoulder height then pumped three times and hold flex, then measure) Waist (at belly button level) Hips (at fullest part of the booty) Thigh (2" below crotch) Calves (around thickest part) To keep everything consistent please post in Inches only. If we have pics and measurements we are bound to see differences....sometimes pics arent too friendly.

....and thats my $.02

BabsieGirl

Should be hold the USA paper while having picture taken to ensure the start date of the pic is accurate?

And this is whole body? Not just waist up? I'm already to look bad for the pic's, wife accidently cut my hair off last night.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Let me clarify, hair from the head that rests on my shoulders!!
