The 2012 Body Transformation Contest will be kicking off very soon, I encourage as many people as possible to get on board and join in - This will give you just one more reason to train hard next year and be accountable at the end of the year for your results.
This thread is purely for any discussion relating to the rules and info which will be outlined below. All entries into the contest will be the subject of another thread.
RULES:
- Entry date - No later than 1 January 2012. You can enter earlier if you wish, this just gives you more time to make your transformation
- End date - No later than 25 December 2012. Again, you can end your transformation earlier, this just gives you LESS time.
- Required photos - Good size and good lighting. No angle shots. At least one back and one front photo and one legs. Can be flexed / unflexed, no need to be particular poses, but both sets of photos (before and afters) MUST BE IDENTICAL POSES TAKEN IN IDENTICAL CONDITIONS.
- Required stats - Key stats which should be documented before and after; Weight, BF% (if known), relevant measurements (I think waist would be a good measurement for everyone to include), and key lifts (squat, deadlift, bench)
There is not really much more to it then that. Now the questions I put to you, the potential entrants:
- Optional or forced updates - Do we want to enforce say 3 monthly updates, or do we want to leave it at the discretion of the entrants? ie You can update if you wish to do so, but don't have to, or do we want everyone to update every 3 months? My personal view, 3 monthly updates will likely lead to better results for everyone, by forcing you to be accountable all year long. However, I don't mind either way.
- Prizes? This question is to the sponsors. Any chance of having some form of sponsored prizes for this competition? I'm hoping for a bit more involvement in the competition this year.
- Natural / juiced. This was mentioned briefly last year. It is my preference that this is a natural comp for obvious reasons. If there is strong opposition to this, then I think it is only fair that if someone is going to be using anything to enhance their performance, that they are upfront about their usage.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Also mods, please move this somewhere more appropriate if need be. Also, I suggest that this thread is made a sticky so people don't forget about it like they did last year!
