Stay in shape for the holidays!
We are doing a new contest starting in November for whoever is interested! Congratz to those who competed in the "Summer Shape Up" contest, your dedication and hard work alone are worthy of praise...regardless of how many votes you received.
Goals:
As was pointed out in the summer shape up, not everyone has the same goals. I think it's safe to say, however, most people on fitnessboard wish to gain muscle, lose fat or the ever-elusive "both at the same time". So again we will keep the criteria fairly vague and let each person state their specific goals. Obviously getting fatter and losing muscle will probably not take home the title! Being that this contest will go thru the holidays there may be a slight handicap with various temptations but that just adds a unique dimension and makes things interesting right?
Contest dates:
The contest will start November 1 and end January 31th (unless we revise it later).
How to enter:
To enter the contest, simply post in this thread, then post your "before" pictures in this thread by Nov 1, 2009.
The rules:
You must post "before" pictures by Nov 1, 2009 to be in the contest.
Midpoint pictures are encouraged but not required, and should be posted by the third week of december. "After" pictures must be posted up by Feb 3, 2009.
The pictures should be full body photos. Try to include: relaxed front, flexed front, relaxed back, and relaxed side shots. Other pictures are up to your discretion. The pictures should show as much of your physique as possible in order to be able to show changes. Try to make the before and after pictures as similar as possible - for example if you are purposely pushing out your stomach to look more out of shape in your first pictures, you should do the same in your after pictures as well
Measurements can be added along with your photos to back up your transformation, but are not required.
During the contest it is recommended that you keep a journal of your progress for motivation.
During the contest "anything goes" ... so if you want to stack up on ephedra go for it, or if you want to use DNP - that is your choice. Some people are more comfortable with a different level of risk than others, and that is fine. Ideally we would suggest staying with only OTC supplemements just for safety sake. The board doesn't condone or suggest using illegal means to lose weight.
This contest is open to all members of Fitnessboard.net regardless of how long they have been a member. All staff members and previous contest winners may enter the contest.
Judging:
At the end of the contest all before and after photos will be posted up in a new thread for the members of the board to vote for a winner. If there is a tie, a second vote will be held to find a clear winner. If the second vote results in a tie between 2 winners, the prize will be split between the 2 winners. If the second vote results in a tie between 3 winners, there will be a third vote and so on...
