The “Suggest a competition� competition

[Pseudonym]

So we’ve got this nifty new competition feature, which is great. But what sort of competitions should we run? Well, you tell us.

For the next four weeks, Shotgun Supplements will be giving a $100 voucher to the best competition suggestion every week. That’s a pretty good reward for not much effort!

Each week’s suggestions get carried through to be reconsidered in the following weeks, so start early to maximise your chances. Post your suggestions here.

The small print:

• Entries for each week must be in by the end of every Wednesday. The final deadline is Wednesday 9th June 2010.
  
• Winning a prize doesn’t mean we will use your idea. Not winning a prize doesn’t mean we won’t.
  
• Judging will be done by me. If two people suggest the same idea, I’ll choose the version I like best.
  
• The judge’s decision is final, and no correspondence will be entered into, unless it’s accompanied with a really big bribe. :wink:

Best photo of someone working out in their gym.

Could go to someone who's really going at it with an intensity photo, or,

Could be someone lifting a weight and really giving their all, or,

Someone just slugging back a protein shake after an intense workout!

best vid of someone working out

-doesn't have to be judged on weight, could be intensity, effort, technique, etc

-could be either PL and BB

-it could change week to week, i.e a bench press week, squat week, deadlift week etc. would give the beginners a wide range of vids to look at for getting a grip on the technique side of things

best "introduce yourself" post

-beginners outline their goals etc

quote of the month

poster of the month

-ie someone who makes consistently good posts, not just one or two

best new poster

journal of the month

-based on tidyness, effort put in, etc

[tinytraps]

How about something for us looking to get stronger?

8 weeks to increase your total. Done by video, video all 3 of your lifts(sq/bp/dl) at the start, Then video them at the end.

-All lifts raw(belt knee wraps)

-Lifts must meet IPF judging

-Winners could be best increase for jr/open/masters+best overall and best on wilks.

Just a thought.

Funniest photo of someone working out

[steak]

Most calories consumed in a week :grin:

Like the video idea too

[Gym rat]

The hottest gym gears 8) I also like the video idea as well

[Jigga]

Best Documentary/Mocumentary

Must include:

1. A good name i.e. Branch Warren: "Driven", Kai Greene: "Overkill" etc.
   
2. An introduction - just a bit about yourself, goals, background etc.
   
3. Clips of you training in the gym.
   
4. A bit about your training philosophies and views on nutrition.
   
5. A soundtrack you like for the training section.

I have never made a video before in my life but a number of people on here have done it so I assume it's not a big ask.

Something similar to this: Overkill Part 2

[HumanPerformance]

1.most bench presses done with bodyweight (or even with 100kg)

2.most squats done with bodyweight " "

(with 100kg would be easier to police)

3.most power cleans with 60kg in 60 seconds!

4.most push ups in 60 seconds

5.most full range chin ups

6.most hand stand push ups

Of course all of these would need a video to prove it with the contestant stating on it that they are doing it for nzbb.

7.A post stating why they like nzbb

8. A post stating how they feel lifting weights has added to thier life.

(best post wins)

[Monarchking]

A good picture of urself or training buddys, doing what gym people do, lifting weight, straping up, wacking on chalk, drinkning a shake etc and used on Shotguns suplement site to promote nzbb.co.nz in some way.

[Peachy]

Umm what about a colouring in competition?? :grin:

Actually I think there should be a bodybuilding competition with a twist. Like there are lotsa categories you can enter and you upload your pic into the category you are competing in. But they are different/funny categories like:

- biggest guns

- bikini comp (male and female)

- Mr and Mrs Puniverse

- oh and an togs togs togs undies comp. Where you post pics of you wearing togs in random places

- and more funny categories but im reeally tired tonight i cant think :doh:

[Ronin]

Best (BB-related) recipe / food suggestion

[PTinCHCH]

Biggest increase in lean mass in a month in select muscles/groups.

(as we all know, fat wont measure as an increase in flexed muscle.)

could be

-biceps

-quads

-calves

buuuut then you gotta have someone to verify...

ummm

biggest fail in the gym or training such as...viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8925 or the likes.

see what dumb or embarrassing shit people have done

[knock knock]

What about a comp for the funniest/randomist/embbarassing bb pose, i.e. you randomly strike a pose at work or a uni lecture and the likes and get a shot/vid.

Bonus point if you wear a speedo etc or Tan!

The "I got kicked out of my gym" competition

Photos/videos of people's improvised training out on the street.

BigKiwi, who needs Les Mills, we'd love to see you overhead pressing a park bench with a couple of old ladies sitting on it.
