Canada Bodybuilding Online Bodybuilding and Fitness Competition

[ironwill]

Why dont we have a genuine competition on here, starting whenever, posting full body pics and then go 16 weeks, and have the final judging.....Maybe the sponsors can help out with donations etc...It woukld be interesting and fun, we talk a lot about bb on here, it will give a chance to showcase our canadian talent...
Have a classs for most improved, overall, most muscular etc....
Just a thought...
Seansummers is a judge, and i think a couple of others are as well.....:flagC

[JacktheThriller]

ok ill do it but lets be nice and start after new years i mean cmon my family practically buys a second turkey for me, plus it will make for exaggerated bloated before shots lol

[ironwill]

definitely, it would be good after new yr, with spring /summer coming up to....

[waderow]

I am not sure I have it in my to get as lean as some of you guys get. I will be an interested spectator.

[C-money]

ill be bulking all thru this summer.. maybe still do it for shits and giggles though.. Good idea IW

[flapjack]

Well, if it is timed around my competition in June, I'm in. If not, I'll have to pass. Cool idea though.

[Talo]

Same here .

It might even motovate me to loss a few pounds :D

[Mr Ontario]

is that with or without a head pic ;)

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Had a member email me this idea. I think it's a good idea but we would need at least 10 people to make it a decent contest. If the sponsors want to get on and have prizes for it, it would be a good tool for marketing and motivation.

I would also maybe put in my own prize in the form of a gift certificate for one of the sponsors. Let's see who'd be interested.

Post up guys/gals that are interested in this.

[tiramisu]

hmmm. I'm very tempted to put my hand up. 16-20 weeks starting in Jan 1? I'm not sure whether I have the endurance to get all the way down to bodybuilding conditioned but it would be cool to get down into the single digit bf percentage and see what's under the fat.

[MuSuLPhReAk]

is that with or without a head pic ;)

Head pics not necessary but proof of date should be.

[ironwill]

January, or February first would work.....Due to time left before Jan 1, id say Jan.15th to Feb 1st would be the best running for 16 weeks.........:D
Women and men seperate??
May be fun...:ht

[ironwill]

Head pics not necessary but proof of date should be.

sounds fair to me......:D

[buildinthaskinnys]

Will this contest be tested?:popc

[ironwill]

just IQ and spelling tests.......:D
Random of course.....

[Dryvrgrl]

I'll go it it for the girls! (my comp is May 29) can I do bodybuilding poses instead of figures poses?

[CallmeB]

Ya i think i would be down for this... obviously i wouldnt take it to stage level ie. droppin water etc.. .but it would be good for a little extra push!

[ironwill]

I'll go it it for the girls! (my comp is May 29) can I do bodybuilding poses instead of figures poses?

Its not my board, but if i had a say, i would definitely say........yes......:D

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Of course dryvrgrl. A lady on board for the comp is more than welcome, even if it is in the fitness genre.

We'll have a group of judges and a point system as well as the members getting an chance to judge. The members all together will count as 1 judge vote.

We just need some prizes now to make this worth doing :)

I'll work on that part. If any of the sponsors read this and are interested, please contact me.

[MuSuLPhReAk]

From the interest in this thread, it looks like 6-7 of you are already interested. Let's keep pushing it to reach that 10. Would be even better if more entered.

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Changed the title of the thread to be more specific to what it's about ;)

Will also move it to the news forum for more exposure.

[ironwill]

Ill talk to DC to see if he is interested.......:D

[gustavo77]

I am out of shape, so this could serve as some motivation for me. I think i will throw my hat in!

Also, in terms of pics...when we had a similar comp on a board i used to frequent, they simply gave everyone a password or codeword, if you will, prior to each posting deadline and that word needed to displayed somewhere in the pics...ie written on a piece of paper and taped to the wall behind the person....again each person would get new passwords only day(s) prior to the posting period....

[Canadian Protein.com]

I like it!

This can be another option. Thanks.

I haven't finalized the rules or prize structure yet (if it's worth doing). If it happens, I'll start a thread announcing it.

Now we need participants and prizes :fwave

[phatty]

im in. my show is april 24th so may as well

[tiramisu]

MP: Just a heads up. Drop out rate on these tend to be fairly high if other boards are representative. If you are hoping for 10 to complete then you likely need 20 to start.

[Doggcrapp]

Ill talk to DC to see if he is interested.......:D

Since there are 2 owners here at Trueprotein and my business partners lineage/family tree is Canadian, I have no other choice LOL.....I am in.

Point taken.


I've got the message off to all the sponsors here. Let's see if we can make this happen.

[NACanada]

I like it! In as well.

PH

[_Ragnar_]

Im in for shits and giggles. Maybe see what i look like a bit leaner.

[Dryvrgrl]

can I see if I can recruit a few people to join? I know a girl at my gym who might use the motivation?

[ironwill]

Long as they are serious.......many will drop out im sure, but MP be da boss....

[NACanada]

I'll offer to post a picture and short bio of the winners (maybe one male one female) on www.pumphousenutrition.ca as well. Exposure for the winners and CBB!

PH

[physique]

i will throw up a couple jackets that i am currently printing. one for each winner. these coats will retail for over $100. I will even toss in shorts and a tank top for the male winner, and for the lady winner, I will include shorts and a racer bra top.

i might toss my hat in the ring to do this too, but i have already been dieting for 2 months now and i am sick of it. lol of course i wouldnt accept any prizes.

you should compete in it bro......
very nice of you to throw that in the hat man.....good on ya phys...

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Go for it physique!!!

I'm discussing it with the sponsors right now and it seems the majority is interested in this.

If all goes well, we can start this early to mid Jan.

[LonelyBedouin]

I might be down, although Im in no where of the shape of some of the other guys on here. But its good motivation for sure!

[pseclint]

i mite be down for this, also mite throw in a few things myself

[whiteknight]

I might be in....

[countrychic]

I would :)

[natenator]

I don't think it would be fair to have people competing in shows be eligible for prizes. It's a hugely unfair advantage to those not looking to get to that level but still participate and get into better condition.

Just a thought

yeah, I for one will never put myself through dehydration and the "hard" part of the pre-contest prep.
You can weight 30 pounds less then a guy, but be more ripped, and you will look more impressive

[ironwill]

The hard part of the prep probably wont be utilized during this contest depending when the end date is...
A competitor wont blow his show to do a deplete, reload im sure, but one may be 4 weeks out when contest ends, and that would be fair...I agree if contest date is the same week as final pics for here, they should not be eligible......

It's just a different mentality in general though. People who diet for a show are going way harder than those doing it to get into better condition. Depleting doesn't have anything to do with it.

Not my business though as I prob won't enter. Too busy tearing it up on the ice and hills :)

GL to all!

[ironwill]

I was referring to wades comment......
Either way, i hope it takes off, i prob wont enter because of timing, but if the timing is right, then i may...

[countrychic]

ahhh well I guess I won't be entering then.

[natenator]

ahhh well I guess I won't be entering then.
I'm nor the one putting this together so it's up to the man to make the decisions :) I just gave my opinion believing it to be an unfair advantage.

I liken it to my gym that holds these types of contests and me entering while dieting for a show. It's a lock as to who will win given I am motivated by more than "just getting into better shape". I would not feel right accepting a prize because I have all the tools necessary to win - trainer, drugs, strategy, and having done it before.

Again just my opinion. Besides the prizes shouldn't be the main focus anyway . It's a side bonus as the real prize is accomplishing your goal :)

I understand what your saying. I guess if it's open to everyone then I will join. I do have a trainer, BUT I always train hard ...contest or no contest, I am natural so drugs are not a factor. There are folk on drugs that don't compete as well.

[tiramisu]

I don't think that it's fair to exclude forum members from an event that is fun and a great opportunity to help build a community rather than just a board.

I have never competed, I almost assuredly won't diet down to bodybuiilding standard but I am hoping to bring my BF down to the lowest that it has ever been for me. Other members will try to do their best as well.

If you are thinking about fairness equating to beating anyone but yourself then I believe that you are already setting yourself up for failure.

I hope everyone that wants to share in the fun joins and shares that experience.

[MuSuLPhReAk]

This is why I'm thinking of the way to set up the prize structure depending on the people entering.

Instead of having a 1st place, 2nd place....kind of thing, it probably more fair to have a best body, biggest improvement, most muscular, etc kind of structure. So even regular members can have a chance as well as real competitors.

Super idea!!
plus you'll have a bunch of different weight classes, and stuff, so I think placing "first, second third" would be very difficult!

I really like "biggest improvement!" that really opens it up to alot of people who wouldn't normally enter this type of thing... guys and girls!

I think if you enter only to win a prize.. well.. that's a little lame, but at the same time, if you enter, you should be eligible to win! ...Maybe honourable mentions can get one of those Canadabodybuilding.com t shirts I've been hearing so much about ;)

[LonelyBedouin]

Sweet sounds awesome, I like the idea of having most improved, best body, and such. As it gives us smaller guys a fighting chance :P

But Id join the competition for sure!

[tiramisu]

In a picture contest you smaller guys have a better chance. It's primarily about conditioning and shape in a picture. Muscularity is extremely difficult to judge until you put people side by side :). Although us "fat" guys have a better chance with most improved.

[waderow]

C-Money should be banned from this

[gicantor]

C-Money should be banned from this

^^^lol x2

I look like shit right now so I will not partake.

[pseclint]

yea im getting as fat and out of shape as I can..... I am currently dipping a krispy creme with butter on top in a root beer float

[C-money]

C-Money should be banned from this
LOL thanks wader.. ill be continuing my lean bulking from now thru the whole summer and winter.. so i wont be veining out that much:yeah im thinking it would be sweet to do a strength comp aswell.. posting up videos of the big 3 lifts, get some of the powerlifting boys in on it!

[pseclint]

C-Money if that is your physique in your avatar, you sicken me you big bastard..... I've seen the bodies exhibit and they didnt look as muscular as you

[gicantor]

Can I have some of your arms?

[C-money]

C-Money if that is your physique in your avatar, you sicken me you big bastard..... I've seen the bodies exhibit and they didnt look as muscular as you
yes it is, thanks bro... im actually alot bigger now, this pic was a couple years back.. next cut im gonna get to that bf level with about another 10-15 pounds on my frame!

[natenator]

yes it is, thanks bro... im actually alot bigger now, this pic was a couple years back.. next cut im gonna get to that bf level with about another 10-15 pounds on my frame!
And being 1" taller than a midget that 15lbs will look like 30!

[ironwill]

Looking friggin awesome as always brother......damn awesome, still remember that crazy back pic from last yr, hence i asked advice for dieting.....you are doing everything right it appears....:beer

[Ritch]

And being 1" taller than a midget that 15lbs will look like 30!

:laugh

[Ritch]

C-money is jacked!(props) but gicantor, that's the whole idea of the competition brother. Go from shit to "the shit".

Love that expression. Companies themselves can`t even come up with stuff like that. They`re like "from geek to freak" Yeah whatever... Or "from zero to hero"

That makes a lot of sense. The timing is good for me as well mid January works perfectly...

[physique]

MP or IW

what i did here in the gym was charge $25 a head to enter. It made people think twice about not giving it there all, as then they have something to loose in the end.
The $25 was put up as price money in the end.

just something to think about.

that would by far be the best bet yes...:fwave

[hommes]

i agree with physique.

[Big_Papa_B]

hey MP count me in!

[Dryvrgrl]

NEWS????

[BAM]

This is a great idea.

[tiramisu]

I started without you guys last week. :ne

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Sorry I dropped the ball on this one everybody. I just got too much on my plate right now to take care of this and make sure it goes smooth. I would like to give it another go when I complete some of the stuff I'm working on.
