Sounds interesting, guess I'll have to give it a shot!

Woot!

I call bulk!

You could cut too.

I like the idea!

Only thing that kinda sucks is having to depend on someone else instead of only having yourself to worry about. But at the same time, we'll have to work on our motivation skills to make sure our buddy's doing what they should be doing. Neat twist, that's for sure!

Exactly!!!!

In for dirty bulking.

LOL!

Who wants to be on my team?

If I were going to compete, I would based on your log of SUB-Q!

i may do this contest finally.. kept missing the last few

Woot!

You forgot Homer Simpson and Supreme Being......I am dissappoint

I am psyched for Oct....I think FWF plans this around the holidays to be evil to those who would cut....

The only hoilday this contest will run through will be Thanksgiving.

x3 for bulk! Lets do this

Yeah Budday!

thank goodness.....last xmas was a nightmare trying to cut while family was guzzling down those buttery sprite cookie things....


I like the partner idea!

[The Solution]

The Spring was the easiest one to run due to holidays, Thanksgiving wont kill anyone.. unless the finals pics are due right around the holiday, which i doubt if the contest starts in October since the signups are in September.

But hey... more opportunity for us bulkers

Thanks!

I'm trying!

a contest like this is cool, heavy relying on other people to pull their weight and it will keep motivation high among teammates, plus members can share their dieting, training, and supplement knowledge between each other.

[kingjameskjf]

Question: does it matter if your partner wants to do one thing and you want to do another? For example, this next time, I might be looking for recomp/transformation instead of bulking and suppose my partner wanted to bulk, would that be an issue or would it be more of the combined overall efforts?

[Greek_Elite]

oh yea i'd be in for a bulk!!

another thought, maybe teams should be randomly assigned?

While thats good to do, remember everyone is different and responds to different things, someone may utilize a higher carb diet better than their partner, and how would they know over the course of 12 weeks without knowing anything about them prior to the contest ya know? Diet and training should be based on the individual and knowing what works best for them IMO. It would be hard to read someone and totally change everything they do, and then see it backfire on them.

right however, if something isnt particularly working best for you, your partner might have some input on something you could do differently and vice versa. It would be a beneficial experience for both ends I would think

[getbustered]

I'm going to need to find a partner.

No! That's all I'll say right now!

I really like this idea! Let me think about this!!!

second G.E's thought, that's a really great idea, meet new people, more emphasis on motivating each other, etc.

Side note, how you been George? How'd the one pct go for ya?

[xXJennyXx]

I thought of random assigned teams too, but I can see that backfiring.

I'd like to pick someone I know at least a little bit, have read some of their posts, etc and know they're on the same page as me when it comes to motivating each other - even if we don't have the same goals.

I would hate to get stuck with someone who I don't know, and have them drop off the face of the interwebz and not being able to get a hold of them to get them back in gear!

Maybe I'm just pessimistic, lol. Cause on the other hand, it would be a neat way to make a new friend.

What if we submitted a little bio with our goals/philosophy and got matched with someone? So it'd be kinda... half random, lol. Or is that too girly?

That sounds like a lot of work, but I'd be willing to volunteer to do matchmaking! (but only if I can still compete.. heh heh heh)

LOL!!

The one thing I would have to think about is what if I assigned people to each other and one of them drops out. What would the person staying in the contest do?

If you pick your own partner then I am out of the loop on it and I don't have to worry about it.

Lots of thinking to do about this one.

[little rambo]

Caught up on the reading and really looking to do some damage in the upcoming contest! I think we should pick our own teamates just for the fact that it would really help with a motivational purpose being with someone you know and really want to suceed. Just a thought

[kingjameskjf]

No! That's all I'll say right now!

thanks! Also, I don't like the randomly assigned teams cause there are not many people out there that are as motivated as me and I don't liked getting dragged down by something I can't control. Also, there were alot of people that dropped out of the last contest. What if your partner drops out? Then you're screwed. So, you want ot pick someone that is reliable.

100% agree, i would hate to get assigned someone who drops out after a few weeks, or randomly just disappears. That would really make you either drop out or carry the entire load. Rules are rules and if George enforces it you have to live with it because it would be the "fairest" way. You have to look at this from both sides from the judges and personal view. I am in favor of picking a partner as well.

I think George would also agree with Jenny on the introduction video again, as another small contest.

[ksujosh6]

you know a cool idea would run one along side the Arnold Classic and only people attending can enter...then hold a final pose down at a local gym to pick the winners....sorta like a psuedo transformation bodybuilding show in person

I would deff do well in that since my schools show is right around the time of the Arnold lol I think I'd be 3 weeks out at that point and looking pretty shredded.

[extremenergy3]

I think we should pick our own teammates because I don't want to do naked swordfighting pictures with some guy I don't know

[SheWulf]

Hmmm... I am considering this...
