Gymnation Challenge 2013 - Bodybuilding: Most Improved

[Pseudonym]

 

Bodybuilding: Most Improved
This category is not looking for the biggest and leanest bodybuilder, but instead the contestant who makes the biggest advances. That might mean gaining muscle, or it might mean losing fat.

The winner of this category takes home a year’s supply of Horleys protein powder! Plus there's a runner-up prize courtesy of NZ Muscle, and just by entering you'll go in the draw to win one of 20 Fitwear vouchers worth $100.

 

How to enter this category:

• You need to take two or more sets of photos (Before and After sets) during this challenge.
• Each photo set must contain the following poses:
  • a Front Double Bicep pose,
  • a Back Double Bicep pose,
  • two different poses of your choice, and
  • a relaxed pose showing you holding a sign with “GYMNATION, {your username}, {current date}” clearly written on it.
• Before and After sets must both have the same poses, taken from as close to the same angle as possible.
• All photos must 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.
• Photos may be taken under indoor lighting or sunlight, but on-stage competition photos are not allowed.
• You may post your photos at any time throughout the competition, but the earlier you post your Before set, the more time you have to get advice from people and make improvements.
• You must have posted both sets of photos by 10pm, Sunday 1^st December.
• This category is open to both men and women. The winners will be decided by a poll of Gymnation members in the week following the competition.

• Please read the Gymnation Summer Challenge general rules as well.

Good stuff, guys!

Leeroid - looking good already. What's your plan to improve on this by Dec 1st?

Poopsie - your photos are fine. You've got a good base, bro. I can't wait to see your After set. In your Side Chest pose, just try to keep your waist side-on to the camera, and only twist the top half of your torso around. That'll give you more of a V-taper. Or was that a cunning plan to make your Afters look more impressive?!

Rapz - I've got no advice for you, bro. You're going to scare small children when you cut up.

lol my posing needs work, i just try and copy what i see on youtube etc.  my side chest looks awkward i tried sitting on my hammy a bit more and ended up looking retarded and my gut sticks out *blush*   good to see more and more entries should be epic!

[JohnyV]

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

awesome we are getting more new members now! welcome pauly and johny those poses are fine for before photos. if you keep practicing them from now until the end you can make the final product that much more impressive by december (and its fair since posing is also an important skill in bodybuilding which is built up over time)

See how we go - 7kg drop is a must heading into Deadlift Nationals - will be good to hold there until mid January as I will start conditioning for the stage from then.  You coming up to Nats for a look?
