Pseudonym Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 NZBB Challenge 2009, the Before setIt's that time again - the start of the next NZBB Challenge. For the last couple of years, we've run the Challenge - an online competition to get people motivated about bodybuilding and improving their physique. The competitors have to post Before, Middle and After photos, with 10 weeks in between each set. This allows time for some dramatic changes, but no time to slack off. :wink: Once again, Horleys and Punch Supplements have come on board. Between them, they've committed $800 worth of prizes for the winners (and maybe a few runners-up too, if you're lucky). With such generous supporters, you may want to get a permanent tattoo of their logos, so here they are: It makes a huge difference having decent sponsors, so feel free to return the love they're showing us.Now to the rules...Entrants will be judged for Best Overall Physique and Most Improved Physique, so you've all got a chance at winning, regardless of how big you are. Prizes for the runners-up will be in the Most Improved category - so those of you with perfect physiques already will just have to make them more perfect. Sorry about that.Entrants will be required to post sets of progress photos at approximately 10-week intervals. The deadlines will be put in the Event Calendar, so you'll be able to see D-day looming. The topics will open for you to upload photos approximately a week before each deadline.Set 1: due Sunday, 14 JuneSet 2: due Sunday, 23 AugustFinal set: due Sunday, 1 November[*]Give each other 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 Most Improved, comparisons will be made between the first and last sets, so photos should be taken from the same angle as far as possible.[*]For each set, each contestant must post the following photos:a Front Double Bicep pose,a Back Double Bicep pose,two different poses of their choice, anda relaxed pose showing the contestant holding either a newspaper, or a sign with their username and the current date clearly visible.[*]If you enter another organisation's competition any time after the middle set, you may take the final set of photos early, but obviously this gives you less time than everyone else.[*]Indoor lighting is acceptable, but on-stage competition photos are not allowed.[*]All 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.[*]The Most Improved cannot be won by the Best Overall winner. If this happens, the "next-most improved" will take the prize.[*]In the case of really spectacular transformations, we reserve the right to demand proof. I'm opening the Challenge a little bit early, so if you hurry, you could get an extra week's progress. Come on people - let's see your pics!
