NZ Muscle Post & Photo of the Month competitions

[Pseudonym]

And now, setting a new record for the slowest Post/Photo of the Month announcement...

December 2013

Post of the Month goes to Riccardo (again!) for his thoughts on the importance, or not, of the traditional post-workout protein shake. Actually, the entire topic was a top quality discussion - check it out:

And our Photo of the Month prize goes to Rede Frisby's post-competition progress pics. Nice one, Rede.

Well done, lads. Check your PMs for a $100 prize voucher from the excellent people at NZ Muscle.

 

And to everyone else... remember your Likes help determine who wins these prizes, so keep giving a thumbs up to any worthy posts/photos you see.

*good*

Our first winners of the new year... January 2014.

Atrollappears takes our Post of the Month prize. He's been giving a lot of useful advice in the Steroids forum recently, and his post on androgen receptor sensitivity is no exception. Give it a read - it's highly technical, but it's good!

Meanwhile, Photo of the Month goes to AZIDE for his fishing experience in parks around Auckland. Like all fishing stories, this one's 100% true. Naturally.

And, as always, there's a $100 prize voucher from NZ Muscle awaiting you both. Enjoy.

both quality MVP rank posters who make for good reading

yes but tbh i never expected to win post of the month as the majority of my posts are too controversial due to their 'cutting edge' nature.

thanks for the prize! will probably put it towards some (more) protein since nz muscle doesnt seem to stock letro.

[Pseudonym]

I figured we'd better give you some protein powder before you eat all the fish in Auckland's parks, bro.

[atrollappears]

Thanks Pseudo, and to everyone for their Kudos..

A very big Thank you "again" to NZ Muscle for the $100 voucher... 

[Ben0]

Congrats guys, deserved!

Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the award ceremony for February 2014.

*insert awful joke about guest tripping over*

*insert canned laughter*

 

There were a number of nominees for Post of the Month, but there can only be one winner. And that winner is...

*opens envelope*

...DanellaJ, with her excellent topic Manky shaker no more. Well done, Danella - it just shows good posts don't have to be highly technical to win a prize.

 

Moving on to our next category. He's started the year with a complete set of pics to record his progress (and looking to the start of his journal, you can see the progress he's made already). Our winner for Photo of the Month is...

*pauses for a ridiculously long time to heighten the suspense*

FellowshipOfTheRon. Congratulations, sir!

 

In fact, congratulations to you both. Come on up to the stage to receive your $100 supplements prize from NZ Muscle, and to give your acceptance speech.

[Gym rat]

Well done to Danellaj and Fellowship of the Ron hope you enjoy your prizes

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

wow didn't ever think my photos would merit a 2nd look let a lone a photo of the month! thanks a lot Gymnation and NZ Muscle, that's 3 prizes now I could almost claim to be sponsored by this forum haha! Really appreciate it, cheers

And now, our winners for March 2014...

Post of the Month goes to Realtalk, for his post (well, multiple posts actually) on whether it's okay to bounce the bar in a bench press. Some good info here, thanks Realtalk - much kudos was given.

Our Photo of the Month winner is Lewiemurray. With his dramatic 50kg weightloss transformation, it couldn't be anyone else! Well done, bro - going from 146kg to 95kg, you've earned this prize for sure. I look forward to seeing the next set of pics showing even more progress.

You guys have both won yourselves $100 worth of supplements from NZ Muscle. Check your PMs for details.

[Realtalk]

Cheers guys.

[nate225]

Psuedo - I thought we agreed never to give Realtalk anything for his sins in a past life....*dirol*

Seriously tho good posts Realtalk.

Congrat Lewie

I'm just easing people into the idea before I make him a moderator, Nate.

No, PotM is about giving credit where it's due - and it was due here.

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

congrats to both ye merry gentlemen!

And in breaking news, our winners for April 2014...

 

What do you say to a young guy who thinks a steroid cycle will give him his dream physique, which in turn will bring fame and fortune? Riccardo had the answer, and with such a huge number of Likes to his reply, it couldn't NOT be our Post of Month.

It's not inspirational, it doesn't make you cool, it's not going to transform you into an aesthetic god for everyone to be mirin/mad/jelly over.

Hard words, but fair. Read Riccardo's full post here.

And new member Abel Kean takes our Photo of Month award with his 4 month transformation pics. Good one, Abel... you're definitely an up-and-coming physique to watch.

 

Well done, both of you. As always, there's a $100 supplements voucher from NZ Muscle on its way to you. Enjoy!

[Abel Kean]

Haha awesome thank you very much!

Just read that thread. Ricardo nailed it. 

Well deserved. Congrats!

Normally we decide our Post & Photo winners based on the most-Liked posts and photos. But this time around, your Likes are no help at all. They're all either members who've won these prizes a million times before, or me. And I can't win it!

So this time, I'm going to try something different.

You guys nominate the post and photo you think should win. Then I'll select the winners from your nominations (and hopefully that doesn't start a shitfight). Remember... the post/photo just has to be made during May, and photos can include training videos.

Ready? Go!
