So I have revamped it a little to make it open to more people. ALso there are 2 or so spots open for people to help out in the admin aspect of this, as well as someone with good math skills. I will explain that in a bit. Ok I have made a number of different areas to compete in. The first few deal with: WEight Gained Weight lost BF % lost. These are for those that want to compete against others that want one or more of the cateorgies there. For example you could want to gain weight and want to compete against another that wants that as well.... Secondly is a weight lifting comp. Since there are a vast number of different people here with different levels of lifting ability I thought that the fairest way was to base the winner on a % increas on the lift. This is where I need a math person LOL. Let me explain. This is going to focus on 2 lifts..Deadlifts and Squats....so say your max DL is 200 at the end of the comp you have increased that by 50% that is what you have reached. Say though that another person competeing against you increased by 51% they would win....hope that makes sense. Here is what you need to do...we will email to me and hopefully another person or two your pick of what you want to compete in. Of course in that email make suer to add what info you need (if you are doing weight loss you current weight and you goal.) once every two weeks you will be required to email again for updates as well as posting here your results. I think that once a month posting would be ok, but if you need to post every day to stay focused ten that is fine. So let me know how I can adjust this to make it fairer, and if you would like to help out email me PLEASE!!! LOL what do you think!?! -------------- LIFT HEAVY! BECOME STRONG, LIKE BULL!

ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2003/11/07, 02:13 PM Is anyone going to step up and take the challenge? I cannot beat the Muttster by myself. The last contest had several people in it. What? Is everyone scared?
fryer91 Posts: 441 Joined: 2003/09/29	2003/11/07, 02:51 PM Thinking about it....This means that I would have to buy a new scale since I crushed my last one, per 45lb plate, and would have to take a waist measurement if going for BF%? No matter what; I'm going to have to buy a new scale. CRAP!! Undecided on the weight loss or BF%..... Count me in! I will let you know which catagory...
	2003/11/07, 05:32 PM I came in on the last challange. What happened to that one. This new one seems very complicated and it made my eyes spin in opposite directions just trying to figure out what is what. -------------- I live in my own little world. But its ok. They know me here. Charlie

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2003/11/08, 09:03 PM Mutt, I am in. I am starting Stuart McRoberts Brawn program next week and intend to bring my squattage and bench up in the next 12 weeks. i am also going to lose 10 pounds of bodyfat, maybe more. I guess i will do the online calculator here, but I don't think it is very accurate. -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results \"You do or you do not.

I_Am-aZon Posts: 893 Joined: 2003/02/18	2003/11/09, 02:54 PM Just wondering... who won the last challenge? And if we sign up for this new challenge, can we use our old stats? My progress has been plateau-ing and I can't see how I could compete when progress gains are much slower now than they used to be...? (looking for all the help I can get lol)
	2003/11/09, 08:34 PM I-Am-azon, thats what I meant to say. Yeah, thats the ticket. I'm having this senior moment plateau. What was I saying?? -------------- I live in my own little world. But its ok. They know me here. Charlie

I hung up my powerlifting belt almost two years ago to slim down for bodybuilding copetitions. I miss those days of crazziness and powerlifting competitions. You have tempted me...now I must think about it because it would be an honor to compete in the Mutt challenge. JIM -------------- SHUT UP AND GROW!!!

Do I need to put them in an email and send them along?? ============= When was the first challenge? Have your stats not changed since then Charlie? I have lost 8 pounds and 6% BF in a month. Don't tell me your stats haven't changed in the last couple of weeks or however long it's been since Mutt tried to start the first challenge. If that's the case then I definately want to be paired with you, it'll be an easy win ...errr challenge. LOL -------------- Pauline Serenity is not freedom from the storm but peace amidst the storm.

7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2003/11/26, 09:20 AM Basically what I have in mind is to pair people up with others that have either the same goals in mind and or similar levels of experience...finding someone for you to go against maybe hard. What you would do in your case is to set a goal for Bf loss and then see how close you get. the one paired with you would do the same and the one with the great % lost is the winner hope this answeres you questions! -------------- LIFT HEAVY!
