    Default Challenge Thread

    Let me put this out there for you guys to chew on. The Arnold is in, what....18 weeks or so. How about a Masters challenge for best conditioned by the Arnold starting with your condition now. I know some of you are close to contest shape and some aren't (hell, I'm 30lbs away).

    We'll ask Dave to put together a panel of judges at the Rx (Species) booth at the Arnold and have the challenge judged there as a promo for Rx and Species. We'd have standard classes and an overall posedown. 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-over.

    Let me know what you think and who would participate. I'm sure I can get Dave to assemble some prizes and Rx live coverage.

    Let's see who does better....the lean-to-bulk guys or the eat-to-bulk.

    Gman.....here's a real chance to shoot for the stars!

    Who's on board?

    Great idea but 100 days too soon for me and would burn up my frequent flier tickets being saved for a gaggle of family and Pitt....but tempting non the less. Other Forums have "Arnold' trips and should be encouraged to join in. I don't have a finger on or feeling how large and/or participatory this RX Masters group is. One 40+ class for the girlies?

    I can't come to the Arnold, ever in my life, because of my job, but I am still going to do this challenge! OK, it is possible I might be able to fly up, do the contest, and fly back the same day...

    I'm mulling this over.

    The timing is kind of bad for me, because I'm still supposed to be bulking by then.

    On the other hand, I already have my Arnold tickets, and I'm an attention whore, so ...

    (consulting with my support team as we speak)

    Do it Mike ... having a challenge is a great incentive
    Can't wait to see how you all do.

    Seriously, that is about the worst possible time for a bodybuilding show when you are a CPA in public practice.

    I am going to do the cutting whether I can come or not, I don't really give a damn if I can only win by being there, I just want to get my ass looking ripped.

    Dave suggested 1 class, "Best of Show". Makes sense. No age group, but must be 40-over to enter.

    I'm opening it up to the women here.

    We're talking exposure at the ARNOLD, people! If Dave can set up a platform at his booth, he would have a great draw with this challenge.....and you all would have thousands in attendance as spectators.

    Baldie.....no f**king excuses! You're 70! Find a way!!!!
    Mike, you can take a day (O.K. Friday night in, Sat. night out) and get your numbercrunching ass there!

    Don't make me do this alone! C'mon, ABC.....no waffling! Hell, I should be bulking from now till the Arnold and start my cut then....but I'm gonna get close to contest shape by then and eat up to the MN's.

    I will call in sick

    Are we going to put up pics every so often and/or do some type of updates and encourage or kick each other's ass when needed?

    I think we could do starting pics. But why give away the final package with weekly pics? It will be more fun to unveil at the Arnold!

    AND! We could give a "Most Improved" award, too....based on the beginning pics.
