Pseudonym Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 The NZBB ChallengeThis is the start of the official NZBB Challenge, and you're all invited to join in. Entrants will be judged for best overall physique and most improved physique, so you've all got a chance at winning.Here are the rules, but we'll keep it pretty informal...Entrants will be required to post sets of progress photos at approximately 10-week intervals. This helps eliminate frauds, and keeps interest levels up, while giving plenty of time for some dramatic improvements.Set 1: due Sunday, 3 JulySet 2: due Sunday, 18 SeptemberFinal set: due Sunday, 4 December[*]Sets 1 & 2 are not judged, but the audience/judges may give advice. For instance, someone might need to work on their chest more, or pose with their elbows higher - that kind of thing.[*]Contestants must enter photos in all three sets, even if they're only going for best overall physique.[*]For each set, each contestant must post a Front Double Bicep, a Back Double Bicep, and two different poses of their choice.[*]Photos should be full-body shots from head to toe. (Faces can be blocked out if you wish).[*]Shorts should be rolled up to show quads/hams.[*]In the case of really spectacular transformations, we reserve the right to demand proof. I think that's enough rules for now - we can always change them as we go...OK guys, let's see some pics! (post them in this thread - it'll keep things tidy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Now its time to see how many people have the balls to put theirs up.Nice going on being first Jono. You've got some very respectable thickness happening there, your quads look particularly thick.You're right mate - putting up photos does demand some cohones. I am not sure I want to have my hairy old self up on the web - the zoo may try to get me back to the monkey house :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxybrown Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 looking good guys Haven't seen any ladies pics yet - I'm thinking I may post mine on Sunday Think it will be a great idea to keep the motivation levels going to keep up with the weight training & cardio for me personally...

Pseudonym Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hehehe... love the hat, Simo! That gets you an extra 10,000 points per helmet. And, may I say, both of you look exceptionally good in our lovely new thumbnail picture format?! Full size pics are okay too, of course - but DAMN those thumbnails are working nicely, even if I do say so myself... :grin:As for entering myself, well, I wasn't going to. I thought it might be a conflict of interest. But we'll see how many others post theirs - maybe if I need to boost numbers, I will.So come on the rest of you... Enter and get me out of this!!

Mossley Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Okay I'm going to enter pics (these are post contest, so not quite as flashy as the others). By Sep I'll be mid diet so should still be looking okay, however by Dec I'll be a month after the last comp and concentrating more on cardio and triathlons for next year. So don't be surprised if my best photos are in Sep......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite full featured for freeware and also pretty easy to use - you can download it from here.http://www.faststone.org/download.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growth Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Perhaps the rules should be changed. IMO it would be better to do torso and leg shots rather than only full body shots, or maybe one compulsory full body shot, torso shots, and a compulsory leg shot.I think it will be harder to see changes in the full body shots as compared with torso / leg shots. Just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought...i think its important to have full body shots. its much easier to make yourself look better/bigger with close ups. the point of haveing full body shots is so we can see what you REALLY look like. not just what you look like with a close up and good lighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growth Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 But if everyone did torso / leg shots then who would be at a disadvantage, as long as the rules are the same for everyone :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
