Was wondering if any one is going to post any progress pics during the contest or are you just gonna wait till the end and bust out the new you?
I'm kind of torn....I think it could be more dramatic to wait till the end plus I don't know if it would be a good idea to show the competition to much if ya know what I mean.
At any rate I'm sure I'll be taking some just for my own reference but I'm not sure I'll post any.
I do see the pros to waiting at least a while in between pics. I did some on the 1st and then again on the 4th. Still torn on how I should update. I will be updating stats every couple of days though.
create a photobucket account, its free. load pictures from your computer and photobucket will display the code for each picture to post in a forum, its the one that starts with [IMG]
i am ready to rumble .it is on .i am so pump . i have never tried muscletech product. so i am looking forward to this experience. good luck and may god be with you through your journey

anyone started messing around with an essay? 250 words is pretty short, really. i know they dont want to read a book but i wonder what they'll do if an essay exceeds the maximum wordage?
I dont see how we can share information besides the comments section.
What am I missing?
What is the purpose of the "group" a head count for the contest?
How can the group leader give us all information.?
How can we use this group to post our progress/pics as we go along, or is that what this forum is for?
Sorry I have so many questions. I have been following this forum reading all the posts here. Alot of great inspiration from this forum and the other pages on this website. The Training articles are great on here, I found out I was doing a few lifts wrong as well as what to look out for if I start finding that the elliptical bike is not working well as my cardio exercise.
I have a long way to go starting out at 207lbs 5'7" with a bf of 38%. But, I am working on a huge transformation. I definitely wont have the best set of well defined muscles, but I am hoping to look good by the end of the contest.
Good luck to all of you, and I will post all my pics as required but they are just too embarassing right now.

I'm working on the Group site and how we can utilize it's benefits. It will be very helpful in the long run.
NOW is the time to focus on hard core training! These little details will work themselves out. Get to the GYM!

good to know, ordered some nano vapor yesterday to start out with.
Yeah it's good stuff. Just be careful if your taking a creatine supplement too because they already added some creatine in the nano vapor. Good Luck to you.

Actually it should be a blessing to the other contest members that you are so ripped in your before photo's. You look awesome already!
This is a transformation contest....not a bodybuilding contest. A person that goes from way out of shape to looking like you do now, will probably have a better shot to win then you going from ripped to way ripped!
TRANSFORMATION......the key word here!
I will be submitting my before photo's in a couple of days....I just need to finish eating all this wonderful food and drink like......Big Macs, Pizza, Beer and cheese! I am actually having a hard time getting fat again! LOL
Don't worry about me though....I probably can't win anyway! I just want to get super ripped again because it was like the crack! I mean once you work that hard and see the results, it feels amazing!
I should however at least get a shot at runner up....I mean if last years runner up can be this years winner, then why can't I get runner up this year? LOL
This might just be enough to motivate some people on here knowing...that I'm in! This time though I will be sharing my diet and training daily....so that anybody can follow the exact training that I do! I guess I'm giving up my advantage and trying to help you guys kick butt!
I will be starting my diet and training in a couple of days.....and will share every detail with all in the group board! DAILY! Until then, I love me some ribs!
Hope this will help anyone interested in what it really takes!
The humor is worth the hours of devoted reading each day. It's crackin' me up!
On a serious note, I thought I had brought my game but evidently it was a Nintendo NES. Time to break out the Wii and start doing 2-a-days if that's what it's gonna take. But I'm stopping there. Whoever's doing 3-a-days can have the 25K. I'll take the measley 5 grand!
Did you really just say that?????????????????????????????
You won't be winning a single Creakic pill with that attitude? Already conceding the win?????? If you don't plan to win, you won't be finishing the contest! MARK MY WORDS !
Dude get out of that mentality......This is 25K here!!!!! You can do this!
If you can't train 3 times a day, then you need to make sure you are doing serious HIIT for your second cardio session for sure! 3 times a day is really just a number, not an amount of time trained.....the third session for me was a small amount of work and just a finishing type of cardio or exercise!
You can do this man....no quitting already....put a picture of a new car on your mirror so you can see what 25K actually buys you....every morning it will motivate you!
PM me if you are having mental blocks already....were only 7 days in man! Get your thoughts together and stop being negative!
hey transmigration, you have an awesome build, good job, what is your diet routine! nice tats
Animal....you were a motivator for me last year....I'm thinking you are my favorite to win this one! Serious!
Last year it felt like you stopped early and didn't do the finishing touches.....don't let it happen this year bro. Trust me that 25K is a sweet check!

Are you in it this year? Your back is ripped in that pic. I'm just doing an hour of weight lifting then later in the day I do between 30-45min cardio. I will increase as needed month to month.

Yes, you need to have all the before poses and then all the same after poses in progress section. (Not sure about the forum they did that part different this year.). Same as last year, or if your new now you know.
Was wondering if any one is going to post any progress pics during the contest or are you just gonna wait till the end and bust out the new you?
I'm kind of torn....I think it could be more dramatic to wait till the end plus I don't know if it would be a good idea to show the competition to much if ya know what I mean.
At any rate I'm sure I'll be taking some just for my own reference but I'm not sure I'll post any.

Leave a positive impact in all that you do!
Stand for something greater than yourself!
My wife cannot handle me being on bodyspace and is upset that she had to find out about my bodyspace after the fact when she found out I was training for this challenge.
In order to do the MuscleTech Challenge, I had to have a bodyspace profile.
Bodyspace is something that she will never put up with because the tone has turned from a wholesome, fit, oriented site to softcore porn.
My last bodyspace I commented to various people/women when I should have respected my wife by not commenting at all. It was very disrespectful of me to do that.
Part of the terms for us working it out was to not have a bodyspace. But in order to do this we all must have a bodyspace profile.
My motive for doing this contest was to make a life change. To change my physique and pass my PT test. To look great for my wife...
Im in the military stationed somewhere that I hate...the weather sucks, people can be rude.
Sometimes I feel like an outsider here.
Because I hated this place I locked myself in my apartment after work. Instead of working out, I stayed in watching TV. Because I hated the gyms here, I made every excuse not to workout. I even made excuses because I didnt like the weather. All I did was pretty much eat. Eat because I was bored, eat because I hated bing here, ect..
And then when I saw that there was going to be another bodybuilding.com/bodyspace/muscletech challenge, it renewed this fire in me.
All along, I made excuses for everything. Now instead of accepting mediocrity, I choose to change and better my way of living and getting back on track with life.
People have a choice in life while they are still living. I choose to be the best I can be and not accept that this is all there is to be accustomed to. I chose to make it better for me.
And I hope you guys do the same.
If I had won this challenge, I would have given my wife the money because she was another of my motivations for doing this.
Now she said she is through with me because of this and because she has lost all trust in me
Im still going to do this challenge ... she is still my inspiration and motivation. Hopefully she will come back to me...that is my hope.
I want to encourage all of you guys to step up your game because Im coming for you guys. Im going to give you hell!
Im out of shape now but trust me, I will get back! You guys better step up your game bcause Im not going to make it easy for any of you.
To motivate you, Im going to post pics that were taken in 2007 that I did in under 3 months. I did it all without the use of illegal substances. Just hard work and good nutrition.
I know there will be a few of you that will argue that I may have somehow cheated to get the results I did. I cant make you believe me regardless if you dont. But I posted these pics to give you guys hope and to motivate you.
Im angry, sad, mad....
You guys better be motivated. Im coming for you guys! I want to win this Challenge so you better step up your game!
Im not going to be on here that much because Im going to be busting my butt in the gym training...
These pics were taken in Aug 2007:
These pics was taken Oct 27, 2007:
These pics before after are Aug 2007 to Nov 3, 2007:
Nov 3rd 2007:
Like I said...Im not going to make it easy for any of you. This is war.
You guys better be doing your cardio, eating right, taking your MuscleTech supplements, and busting your butts in the gym. Because I will...
"Turn away from yesterday....Tomorrow's in my eyes!"
"Nevermore to be held down by the waves against me. Nevermore to be cast aside. This day is mine!"
