Luke was in too.

Luke9583 · 11-01-2004, 06:56 AM

I'm in

Velvet · 11-01-2004, 07:50 AM

Details? Rules?

Twin Peak · 11-01-2004, 08:08 AM

I'll play under whatever rules, or conditions, you all propose. I'll even let ya'll pick the judges. This is purely for fun, for me.

BTW, Dale is a wise man.

Same here!

**Dale Mabry** · 11-01-2004, 09:38 AM

Let's say we come up with some objective measures to factor in for most improvement. Here are 2 first drafts I was thinking of...

Total inches lostx(fat lbs lost-muscle lbs lost) for cutters

Total inches gainedx(muscle lbs gained-fat lbs gained) for bulkers

For people wanting to do an overall deal, we could make a 3rd equation containing parts of both.

This would leave us with a best cutter, best bulker, and a most improvement award.

I don't know what to do to get more ladies to join in. A few have misinterpreted it and think they're not in good enough starting shape to join in. That's not the point at all. Or rather, that IS the point. Here is an opportunity to make a major improvement, there is motivation and incentive in place, as well as a group of friendly competitors to help support each other through it.

I don't see a problem, but for some reason, some girls are hesitant.

I'm up for anything, but IMO I think we should be co-ed. I don't see any reason why not, other than the girls who are entered (including TP

) will most definately kick MY ass, LOL.

bulletproof1 · 11-01-2004, 09:55 AM

good god its just for fun. like you said it is simply a motivator. imo we are all winners here

... except for johnnny

if you didnt catch it johnnny, that was a joke, so dont "freak out" on everybody.

GoalGetter · 11-01-2004, 10:05 AM

Rock and BP: man i'm laughing my ass off here. hahaha!

Screw the cutter and bulker distinction. I am recomping, so I think we should just go for best over physique, most improvement, best arms, etc....

I just wanted to clarify here. I'm not saying TP will kick my ass. I'm just grouping him with the girls.

**Dale Mabry** · 11-01-2004, 10:18 AM

As am I TP, but I bet many are just going to do 1 or the other. I will try to figure out an equation, but there should also be some subjectivity to the judging.

Anyone else using a specific methodology like HIT, GVT, or P/RR/S

**IainDaniel** · 11-01-2004, 10:23 AM

Hmmm. I might be in. Will be getting ready for a Vacation anyway. Let me see if I will be having any interference here at work.

Cool. I don't much care. The Avant prize, however, will go to the runner up for best overall physique.

	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...
