You should take your own advice and quit rooting for those sucky Auburn Tigers. IForce deserves better than Auburn!




Mighty, you defenitely deserved to place though!

[tnguyen8485]

im not a rep so i can talk all the shnit i want?!...lol...*Sigh* dont get me wrong i am happy i got this far, but i just dont see how they came with thier decision. its almost like telling your child to try to get good grades and you will get them a game, and when they do you buy yourself a new computer for yourself. lol

its just really flucked up. they shouldnt of called it a transformation contest and called it "MT Marketing Scam Contest" or something of that nature.

"Do you have what it takes to win 50k" = yes and no, yes because i have determination and no im scared of needles.

what was the point of that comment-the typical if someone looks better than me he must be on da juice-sounds like it to me

I was in the bb.com transformation contest and though the prizes were not as high-I certainly did not feel like I placed where I should have been HOWEVER judging is subjective and I just accpeted my placement

the progress you made in your pics our incredible-don't tarnish the experience by coming off as an ass (just my opinion)

Yes, there is always going to be subjectivity in bodybuilding, its just the nature of the sport, but when it's blatant....come on!

And for being a rep, and ettiquite (sp) I call it like I see it, I shoot between the eyes and pull no punches, I am always respectful......except when I get screwed... and yeah, I cuss when I'm pissed....were all grown ups right?

Being an adult would not involve bashing a competitor when it is blatantly against the rules here of the forum.

Bashing a competitor??? Are you referring to competitors of this comp? I've done no such thing.

If ANYTHING I'm bashing the judging and the reps who don't do their job! Ask anyone in this contest if they think the MT reps kept up with what was going on or answered questions when asked

[joakman]

You said you couldn't believe you purchased their bull**** supplements. That would be bashing.

"Ashleykesner" transformation WTF did she DO?!?!.. i thought i did more or even Mighty_Metcalf.

ok, let me start with.... I can obviously tell that you have not been into bb long.There is a significant diff. in men loosing bf and women loosing bf. If you are aware.. I DON'T HAVE TESTOSTERONE...I HAVE ESTROGEN!!! That is why they specifically make estrogen blockers for men because the stinkin chemical is a hindrance to loosing the flabby stuff. Pro women bb spend no less then 12 week prepping for one day of comp. where a man spends on average 8 weeks. so yes there is a diff. and it is much harder. next time know your facts before you talk!

x3 and people are coming off looking worse than Jerome did...

[Mighty_Metcalf]

WTF? Still no explanation from a rep, doesn't suprise me!
I finally was able to view other peoples pics and have come accross the conclusion that different background, headwear, poses etc. HAD NO RELEVANCE in placing. Some that placed didn't adhere to the rules as far as required poses, or using a magazine instead of a newspaper, different backgrounds or not even showing thier entire body! I can only guess its because I'm a rep now but not having me place or even mention as an outstanding transformation is simply an insult! This is just ludicrous!

Tell me otherwise!

[sXeWarrior]

who won and by how much?

Metcalf, I think it might be cuz of the quality of the final pics...I don't think they can be used in magazine /ads...b/c of the low pixel count. Don't forget the essay was a big % too.
I understand your frustrations, but try to see it from the company's side. What benifit do they have by denying your placement in the top 10...NONE...they choose the PICTURES which they thought displays the Best transformations. No doubt, your transformation was superb, however, the PICTURES were not of caliber quality.
Personally, I would use this to fuel future competitions to prove MT wrong!

For example... I thought RescueMadden lost a lot of belly (he did), but check out the year-long progress of the guy that got an honorable mention (if you haven't already):

http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/nq...n=progresspics

That's 105 lbs lost in a year (that's persistence)! Great job nquinn922. Good luck with your contest in September.

Congrats again to all that placed AND to all that competed. Keep on Liftin'!!!!

Later,
-Rev.

good stuff....i was wondering why he got honorable mention. Good job nquinn922

Whenever i sent them a message they always replied back...though one time it took almost a week, but in the end they did reply back

yeah they had to use (err...Buy) at least 1 MT product throughout the transformation...

lol Yup...

x4...

tnguyen8485, if i were a judge for this comp u probably would not have even placed in the top 15....though u did make a good transformation. So don't let the placing take away from what u have accomplished, yet at the same time don't let ur transformation get to ur head (or blow it up for that matter).

Also, as for the top 10 finishers, i think it could have been a close toss up between these two top placers: AniMaLizTik and cmanlittle

and the following people who didn't place:

crewdawg5126 (can't believe he wasn't one of the second place winners...let alone not placing at all)
Mightymetcalf

p.s. mighty if u are a rep then u should watch ur mouth. Even with that sig (which doesn't nullify ur actions), u are still a symbol/representation of ur company and what it stands for.

What can I say, when you get screwed, it sux. Hard to just take a raping without groaning, would you agree?

As well, I'm glad my image wont be used cause yeah I used a product or two of theirs for one month but dont give them credit for my transformation which is what they're wanting. Some of the people that won think it was all the supps and had nothing to do with their hard work and dedication. For me, it was my drive and determination that's given credit, not any supplement. Supplements can help but they are a small piece to the big picture, how many people do you see that take supps but look like crap? It's cause they think, the supp is going to do the work for them~supplements don't work that way.

It could have been something as simple as the "snorting" YouTube. Hilarious, but perhaps viewed negatively by someone at MT. Dunno.

Regardless, sour grapes are not a good thing.

Chin up.

yeah right, they never read the threadz anyway remember! Nobody on their staff I'm sure has read anything I've written. Oh well. I've enjoyed talking to everyone here, I don't take anything away from the top 4 finnishers, honestly I don't, I just feel its an insult to me not to have me top 10, or an explanation as to why is all I ask.

[LL SquatButt J]

just wanted to mention that i think on the main bb.com page under the rules section for this contest they said that they (not muscle tech but the person sponsoring this i think *Iovate Health Sciences*) can disqualify anyone at anytime for whatever reason without notification of said disqualification.

Reading curts post reminded me on that one....
