I think we should start either the day after christmas 26th, or Janurary 1st...I would prefer as soon as possible because I have already started, so I would love the sign up thread...LOL /forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Sounds
great But what if a person does not have a caliper for body fat measurements?
I can sure see this helping out a lot. I think a good time to start would be after X-mas or New years Also

Calipers are very cheap, if you don't have them you can probably get it tested at your gym.

( toille, mbeezy and kinetekade are you guys in? I've got an extra calipers. I can help you test in the locker room. /forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif )

YESSSSSS THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! /forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Is there any chance of allowing the 3-point BF% test? That way people can do it themselves. It's not as accurate but it would make the Challenge more accessible and still preserve the spirit of the whole thing? Eh please? /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif

i just need to find a pair of calipers...
or something, anyways, but i actually dunno what i'm doing..i guess bulk, cuz i wanna lose fat but gain muscle..what category would that be, bulk?

12-11-2002, 06:42 AM

i kinda want to enter, i think i can win for bulking probably since i just started my first cycle last tuesday which consist of many things, so i guess that would be cheating to some of u?

Yu Yevon,
Say I am in the game, and I reach my bulking goal before the end date, am I allowed to cut a little to get off any extra fat on me...Like if my goal was 10Ibs muscle, and I gaind 15 total pounds 5 ibs fat 10Ibs muscle, would I be allowed to diet to shed the extra 5Ibs gained, in order to have less fat gain toward the win?

I'd love to join in! I am already on a cut that my trainer has set up. I am supposed to be strictly diciplined to it, so I can use it and see how it stacks up agains the rest. I'll find out what does and doesn't work - and open this program up for criticizm and improvement. Rock on.

Let's start asap!

Hmm.. is electronic bodyfat measurement acceptable? I do not think I could get my belly into calipers just yet.... although since I plan to keep going at the pace I am right now I think by the end of the competition that will not be a huge issue.

Yes i do see your point but i see a lot of people on here who talk themselves into being something big. There are a few people on here with big ego's and in my opinion they will lie just to look impressive and don't say that doesn't happen cos it does. Also the previous times which i think one was "before your time" they have shown pics. This time round u don't have too, but before, i am sure that u had to show your before and after pics for the judges to make their decisions.

Btw i wasn't dissing the idea as it has happened before the only thing i was doing was naming a problem that might occur. Usually u lay out your negatives when producing a project (like this one).

Hey, can we do this but do both? I was planning on beginning my bulk in about ten days and bulking for six weeks, and then cut starting in February for competing at the end of April/Early May.

Therefore, if I sign up, I'd like to bulk for the first four weeks and then cut for the rest. Can I still enter?

12-14-2002, 01:24 PM

OK; jump on my case; but I've been using an electronic scale that measures weight and body fat conyent supposedly by sending an electronic impulse through your body (not to be used by pregnant women or anyone with a pacemaker!). Is this OK and if someone with those calipers could rush out and buy that scale to compare the % body fat readings I'd appreciate very much. Got mine at Costco and its called the Tantra scale. RSVP

I would like to join in for the challenge and do a cut. My goal would be 18% BF and a 26 inch waist. My waist just refuses to go past the 28inch level and maybe this is just what I need!
Is this all you do to sign up or is there somewhere else on the site where you enter details etc?

I needed a kick in the *** to get me started anyhow, and this fits in perfectly with my training schedule. Do you want chest/arm/waist/leg measurements too? I am noticing some post these, others do not...its no problem to do though if needed. Thanks again, and in the end, we'll all look great!

This site and you people are awesome! I'm still learning how to navigate through the information and understanding the site.

Didn't see that until after i asked about the calipers. OOps! Will try to be more alert and less redundant.
