NZBB Challenge 2009, Most Improved

The NZBB Challenge is an online competition that spans five months, so allows plenty of time for dramatic changes. It's all about getting people motivated about bodybuilding and improving their physique. Oh, and prizes, of course.

Our competitors have done all the hard work - now it's your turn. Don't worry, you've got the easy job. All you have to do is judge them.

Use the poll above to vote on a Most Improved winner. Every forum member can vote (yes, even the contestants).

The photos from the Before set are compared against the After set, so you can see each competitor's progression over 5 months.

To help you in your decisions, here's a summary of the judging criteria, kindly supplied by one of our resident judges, PointOfView.

1.STRUCTURE (applies to men and women)

Look for good posture, wide shoulders, high chest, straight legs which are not bandy or knock kneed also look for the trunk and limbs to be in proportion (legs not short, body not long or vice versa).

For women of course you look for a muscular yet feminine shape. Structure is extremely important. If you are narrow shouldered or wide waist it will be difficult to win at the top level although nothing is impossible. Above all look at the straightness of legs especially women from the knee to the ankle and you will see how bandy a lot of women are. That is why they stand side on to try and hide that fact. Could be lack of vitamin D as a child with the development of rickets which leads to "bowed" legs.

2.MUSCLE DEVELOPMENT

Look for muscular bulk, balanced development, muscular density.Your survey of the physique should take in not only the muscle group you are looking at but the whole physique. That is why comparison posing is so important as it can show up strengths and weaknesses when performed

3.CONDITION

Definition of muscles must not be confused with emaciation and this applies especially to women some of whom have little muscle then diet down to get into condition.

Once again this is important for contest time as condition can be the difference between winning and losing but there is a tendency to go overboard on condition which can be unhealthy and life threatening.

Remember you must have width in the shoulders, small waist, high chest, balanced structure, muscle bulk and definition and above all a lot of courage.

Good luck

Remember, this poll is JUST for Most Improved. There's another, different, poll for Best Overall. The polls will run for one week.

Vote carefully, because there's a lot at stake... Thanks to Horleys and Punch Supplements, we've got $800 worth of prizes for the winners (and maybe a few runners-up too, if you're lucky).

Since Bigbird is taking the Best Overall prize, the runner-up for Most Improved is Nessie. Nessie, Punch Supplements have got a $100 voucher for you, too.

Well done guys, I'll PM you the prize details over the next few days. And to the rest of you who lasted the whole five months - good stuff! Hopefully we provided you with a bit of incentive in the gym. :)
