The Journey of the Skinnies

[NoFive0]

So, I came up with a way to help motivate others lets see if it works!


Anyone looking to do a Skinnies 1-2 Month Transformation Challenge? Thinking of a prize and it could possibly be supplements & gym gear????? If this is a great idea, then i can come up with some guidelines and all the info ready???

Ovis this is just for the fellow skinnies!!!

I think this is a great idea.

Glad you think so, this will help everyone get ready for summer! Just a motivational tool, hope it works, if your in join the group, and under the threads the challenge is listed. I have to come up with the guidelines but GET READY, because it will most likely start next monday!! If we can get enough people

The Skinnies Transformation Challenge.

General information- Over the weekend I was thinking to myself, summer is almost here! I have to pick It up ☺ I wanted to think of something that would motivate the other skinnies including myself to push themselves harder, right before summer. We all know summer calls for beaches and tons of fun. I don’t want people to be embarrassed like I use to be, so I figured this might be a good motivational tool to push people to reach their goals more quickly! The OFFICAL day that the challenge will start will be 4.25.11 and will end June 30th. This will get everyone ready for the beginning of July, and is good time frame to actually see results, and gains.

Requirements- One of the main requirements is that you take before and after pictures. These pictures must include the newspaper so we know that the pictures are in fact recent. You have to take front, back, side shots, you may take extra pictures if you like. You do not have to take pictures every week, you can surprise us at the end with the final pictures. If you choose to take weekly or every 2 week pictures that is also fine! Lets make this fun, not that much required just before and after pictures. Last point, particpants must become a member of The journey of the skinnies group, then comment on the thread listed in the group for the challenge so we know who is participating !!!!

How will you be judged- The best way to judge this would be to let the other fellow people of bb.com vote on the winners. I will then calculate the numbers and place the winners. Depending on how many people actually want to do this, will then decide how many winners we have such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Please guys do not cheat, and tell your friends to vote for you, you’re just cheating yourself. If you must just ask them to vote, and pick that THEY think the winner should be. This is not a who gained the most contest. It will be based on overall improvement, weight may be a factor, but also by looking at the before and after pictures and seeing who made the biggest change ☺



Prizes- I will be paying for the prizes myself ☺ ! They will be some pretty good prizes, so no worries. You will not be let down, they will most likely be highly rated supplements, and also fitness gear!!

No problem bro. I should be alright, I've broke a rib on my left side twice. Right now it's just sore though. Beat myself up today, rolled my ankle, hurt rib and wrist haha.

[redmond3]

you can also put it under contest history if you place!!!! Now that would be bad ass

Haha, I get hurt at least once a week.

[redmond3]

has been brought to my attention. Everyone who participates in this contest will get 1 vote, they will not vote for themselves but for someone else in the contest, so we vote for the winners! So that no one gets their friends to vote for them. Makes sense!!!

Also someone brung up that we could all donate about 3 bucks each and that could go towards more prizes..

If no one wants to do this its fine! I don't mind paying for the prizes myself. They will be pretty nice gifts anyways, all will help you reach your goals. Such as tshirts, shaker bottles, multi vitamins, fish oils, preworkout sup, postworkout sups, protein, and Much more.

I am in. I would be willing to help in any way I can. It's a good idea. Everyone needs a reason to be busting their butts! Let me know if I can do anything, Robert.

I also just posted pictures from my bodybuilding competition last Saturday. Check them out! I didn't do very well. I was in an open novice division and ended up competing against some big guys. It was a great experience though, and I look forward to progressing even more before I step on stage on the 30th.

[bluekoolaid]

April 2009 - 146
Jan 2010 - 155
Jan 2011 - 165

Things that helped me most were -

Simply gaining some fat so my body had a fuel source to fall back on if my eating wasn't right.
1g/lb bw protein
Lifting heavy for sets of 5 with strict form when bulking
Having regular deload periods
Lifting 5 days a week

Very helpful post I am actually doing 5x5 right now and trying to bulk and the strength gains have been really nice so far. I have noticed some fat gain though but that can all be shed away anyway.

thanks man, and yeah that's a good idea!

You looked great on that stage pic. Be confident on the 30th, and you are right, the experience will make you that much better next time.
