Just wanted to tell everyone, that this is a friendly "contest". We are all friends, and here to encourage each other on, through moral support......and maybe a lil friendy trash talking..:angry:
This challange is to be fun, and a challange to your self......not to prove anything, non of that. This is just for fun!.........so if you cheat or fudge on your lifts, making you appear stronger than you rely are just to make a rating to go a lil higher......your only cheating yourself....... Let keep it simple.....Keep it fun.......And lets keep are integraty and honesty folks...........:dumbbell::dumbbell: Just so you all know......when June 1st hits..... Quadzilla will start his rein! :laugh::laugh::laugh: -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn |

Andrew, this is the second time you have brought this up. I am sorry its bothering you. The last challange kind of petered out and was forgotten. After about 3 0r 4 months with no activity in the post, a newby stumbled in to it and asked "who won" About 6 or 8 people chimed up and said "I did". Guess what ? They were right. Everybody won.
Everybody won.Relax, Enjoy. -------------- Foolish consistancies are the hobgoblins of small minds. Charlie | |

I hope this challenge doesn't end up with the same lackluster results. But, with Dani and Charlie keeping the maintenance on the comp., I don't think it will.-------------- In order to live, you must be willing to die. |

I think setting it at 2 months, with biweekly reporting, will really keep interest and focus up, but it's really up to all participants to step up, say "this is the day", make a commitment to themselves, and to the challenge!!
<raising right hand> I, datdanigirl, do solemnly swear to do my absolute best to make significant improvements throughout the challenge, to report my results with integrity, and to pat myself on the back for a job well done when Aug 1 finally gets here! -------------- : ] ~Danielle Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. ~Benjamin Disraeli |

I so agree that we all win. This is actually Mutts 3rd challenge if I remember correctly, and although they may have petered out, the fun of competition helped propell me to do a little more work at the gym, thus making myself feel entitled to bragging rights the next day :big_smile: (I also wanted to kick the mens butts) :laugh:

I, David, being of sound mind, promise to lift with all I've got, be HONEST, and try to surpass my personal goals. I know I won't win the overall competition, but that's now what I'm shooting for.-------------- \"Cuz we are the Aqua Teens\" |

If a person cheats on this "competition" they truly have serious issues.-------------- Would it be classified as overly competitive if I refused to let a 4 year old beat me at chutes and ladders? |

I hate clowns, in fact, so much that my sister got me a t-shirt that says "Can't sleep, clowns will eat me".
It all started with Dumbo..... -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight. |

really...I always thought Pennywise started the scary clown thing. Dumbo is cool, when the mouse is drunk and starts seeing all the technicolor. Good stuff.-------------- \"If you do not understand, this is your fault, not ours.\" |
