Have been wondering about this. Will see if I can sort a prize!


Are you up for organising judges/judging criteria. Feel that's defo more your area than mine? Totally happy to let you run this comp and I'll just try and sort prizes!


Judging is where it's going to be tricky.. I don't really want a public vote because lets face it, a lot of people will just click randomly / they don't really know what they're looking for.

It would be nice to have some of the more experienced members judge, but again, the only real expert we have on here is Powerlifter, and he specialises in strength sports. We don't have anyone experienced in bodybuilding / fitness modelling etc - and they would be the best type of judge.

I know for a fact I can find a company who would offer up a tub of protein for a prize (that could go along side anything TSR are willing to offer), and perhaps they could then judge? Totally unbiased then.

But then that raises the issue regarding advertising, do you think TSR would have anything against the thread title being called: "TSR Transformation Contest - Sponsored by XXXXXXX"? Hopefully that will be enough advertising for the company, but would TSR allow it...? As said, I'm pretty sure I can wangle a prize from a company and get them to pick a winner / 1st/2nd/3rd

Possibly have 3 categories, weight loss, weight gain and muscle gain? :dontknow:
Andrew, I would make sure you can definately get a tub of protein or whatever, and ask what they need from TSR in return. Once you have that information then it can be put foward to the powers that be. I'll put myself foward as a judge anyway as, I've been following bodybuilding longer then powerlifting. No one would have to worry about bias, Im not a dick lol.
I think its fairly likely , ill message someone today and let you know .

Also , I just think male / female category , best transformation is best . It's simple and will require less prizes than multiple categories . I don't mind though :smile:

Yeah it would help if we knew what the requirements were when it came to photos and also what, if any stats we need to provide :smile:

I'm in, wanna lose a bit of weight and get fitter generally. Let's see how it goes.
Will there be an option to pull out if I fail miserably, so I don't have to put after photos on?
I'm in.
Will be recomping, going from flabby to fit.

Will there be a fresh clean thread for the comp, allowing people in it to post pics, stats etc without it being full of spam from others?

Commandant has already said you need a pic with a newspaper with date visible or laptop new page with date visible.
