Anybody for an improvement contest?

**BananaHammock** · 02-12-2009, 12:08 PM

I don't know if this is in the right section but would anyone like to have an improvement contest. My days of competing are long gone. I'm soon to be thirty-six, have three kids and me and the wife are wanting more. I don't have time for 2 hours of cardio a day and all the rest that go with getting peeled like an onion but I do want to lean out some. I'm 230 and think I would look pretty good at 200. Anyone else interested. Friendly comp always helps people reach their goals.

Count me in.

Cool. I guess we have to set start and end dates. Who could judge?

I've got to get rid of the penclineck title.

UKwildcat, you could create a social group either here or over on Rx MusclePlace to promote your idea. Good luck.

Yeah I was hoping the idea would take off and kinda take care of itself. I doubt I have the time to get it going.

A bug bite?

Popular mechanics said some have contracted a "fat virus"?

I wish. Maybe I could just get a shot to cure it.

Would this be for bodybuilding alone or overall improvement? I would be interested for overall weight loss and toning. It would keep me motivated lol.

It would just be for overall improvement. I wasn't looking for a bb contest just to get leaner and in better condition.

Curt
We have 3 interested!

Wildcat, I haven't forgotten. Will get a social group created to help get more Rx'ers involved.

Welcome to you, Kel0509.

What you could both do is take some kind of pics for comparison. Whatever you're comfortable sharing.

I took pics on February 11th or 12th for another contest and plan on posting those for the Rx Improvement Group.

Are you sure you want judges? We can solicit those in the group.

What timeframe or end date were you considering?

I'm no bodybuilder, but entered a MuscleTech contest on BodySpace.

Posted pics included:

Front relaxed
Back relaxed
Side chest
Ab and thigh

Plus a shot holding a newspaper to verify the date I began (although I haven't really gotten rolling yet).

What pics or "poses" would you want included?

My goal is to trim my waist a bit and lose about ten pounds.

I'm sure I have that much to spare.

I'm currently following a diet suggested or mentioned by new Rx'er "wavelength."

Will get the group up ASAP. You all take pics to post to that group/thread and think of any other additions, corrections, suggestions, or questions you may have.

Thank you both for showing an interest.

I believe these activities build camaraderie and help maintain motivation and focus.
