I saw that buddy, but I was curious because what kind of bodybuilding competition is this if there are no flexing allowed in neither the before and after pictures

Jus' sayin.

So you're better now? How come you don't want to finish off the Transformation contest with those Gaspari product?

Awesome man, good luck!

Buddy?

And where do you read "no flexing allowed"?

Look again again: "most muscular, abs and thigh, and side chest" all, so far as I'm concerned, require a bit of flexing.

Anyway, I'm giving myself the old "D'OH!" for forgetting to include a side chest picture in my entry earlier.

See the contest blog and my BodyBlog:

And, hey, in the spirit of OVERKILL, I created a Supplement Log as well:

I was on VERY limited duty for quite a while, so they brought in a replacement for the Gaspari Contest. I was asked to participate in this one now since I'm healthy, plus it is good motivation. Truth be told I put on some MAJOR fat gain while I was down with a fractured ankle AND a chest cold....

Did you send your supplies to the other contestant? I personally just haven't heard anything about another contestant thats all.

You were asked to participate? By who?

The other contestant (malibuilder) is in a foreign country which makes shipping nearly impossible. I offered to ship all the unopened stuff back to the sponsors but was told by Richard Barnet to keep it. I thought of throwing the Gaspari Stack at this contest and then a MT product, but I'm going to end up doing a FULL on MT stack instead, and saving the Gaspari Stuff for a later time/date.

As for who asked me to compete, I cannot say.

Yep, I left iSatori on Feb. 28th. I decided to 'retire' from the rep stuff.

I totally missed that... probably because I was out in Ohio.

Good Luck

No worries at all, thanks for the well wishes! They brought on BlueBoy22 to replace me and damn if that weren't a good pickup...

and to end the hijack... my befores are up..

gymrat29 · 03-25-2008, 11:00 PM

I was just about to enter myself and see that it's not open to Arizona???? I never heard of this before? I know that things are void in Vermont all the time (although I never knew why) but never Arizona. What is the reason behind this???!!?!?

mtngoblin · 03-25-2008, 11:04 PM

I hope to meet my goals over the next couple weeks, hopefully I will finally see my own abs.

Was this in response to the Gaspari contest or this one?

Mighty Kev · 03-26-2008, 07:04 AM

Ahh, all questions begin to answer themselves after you read the directions for the third time.

txfire76 · 03-26-2008, 07:21 AM

ok I'm in, may not win but at least I'll be motivated to try!!

In response to this one, a good friend suggested I compete since I had to leave the Gaspari one due to injury.

fusioncom · 03-26-2008, 09:43 AM

So let me make sure I got all the rules right here...

Filled out the form...
Will take Before Photos Today with a National Paper
Before Photos will be added to progress pics section on Personal Bodyspace Page.
After Pictures taken on 6/16/08 with national paper, and posted on personal bodyspace page
Essay posted to Personal Blog.

I'm slightly confused on the length of this contest, I take it the earlier you enter the better so you have more time.
But also noticed something about 4 weeks...

Unless you're me and then reading the directions five times usually does the trick.

I am not a professional bodybuilder at this time, but if I happen to win, will I be disqualified? I have already purchased my MT product and posted my before pics. I really want to have a chance at winning this contest...

Bump for a MT rep.

Also, according to the rules we need to follow a transformation campaign. Do we need to write something for a transformation campaign we are folowing, or is this just included in our essay?

Contest is 12 weeks, but the minimum is 4. The entry form will actually be taken down 4 weeks before the end of the contest. The earlier you sign up, the more time you'll have to make an impressive transformation.

Say HCHC 210 Liquid Capsules (70 servings, 3 cap per serving):

Directions: As a dietary supplement, take 3 caplets with an 8 oz. glass of water 2 times daily.

70 divided by 6 = 11.6666667 days = $58.99

Minimum of 4 weeks of this: $176.97

If it's needed for an entire 12 weeks: $471.92 plus shipping.

Is this the case? Or am I missing something

Yes, you are missing something.

210 caps divided by 6 per day = 35 days

Therefore, 1 bottle lasts 35 days.

On the up side, maybe you got a laugh out of it

No problem, glad I could help.

Liquid_diet,
Regarding you first question, yes, you are eligible. In the spirit of the contest, we wanted to avoid established IBBF and WNBF pro bodybuilders from entering.

Regarding your second question, "Campaign" refers to the actual transformation time period. As part of your entry you must complete an essay describing the impact the transformation had on your life. You do not need to outline your transformation program.

Hope this answers your questions.
Good luck,
Victor

This essay should be written at the end of the contest, correct? When is the deadline for that to be posted?

My pics are posted in the group blog and on my bodyspace profile.
