First Annual Swole Source Contest !!! - Rules and Details
Ok, it's time we get this started! I will move this thread into a contest section once the section has been added.
In order to keep things organized, I will make a thread for each contest division. This will make voting easier, because everyone in the aesthetics contest can be viewed together, etc.
You can enter as many of the contests as you wish, except for the weight classes, where only one will apply to you.
We will start this week and have open enrollment in this contest since it is a long one. This allows people just joining the site to enter even if the contest has been underway for 3 months already. Of course, the advantage usually goes to the individuals who have had more time to train. The contest will end the week of April 19.
The contest divisions are as follows:
Aesthetics
Mass
Strength, under 200 lbs
Strength, over 200 lbs
Rules for the Aesthetics contest:
Enter the appropriate "Aesthetics Contest Thread" and post your "starting" picture. At the end of the contest period, go back to your original post and add in an "after" picture. Add in details of before/after bodyweight, and if you are so inclined you may add in bodyfat measurements for the before and after photos. Voting will be done by all of you at the end of the contest. In order to keep the contest threads clean and uncluttered, do not post comments to other people in this thread. Those comments will be deleted. We will have a discussion thread separately for each contest where you can chat as much as you like. You may post additional pictures during the contest if you wish, to show progress along the way.
Rules for the Mass contest:
Enter the appropriate "Mass Contest Thread" and post your "starting" picture. At the end of the contest period, go back to your original post and add in an "after" picture. Add in details of before/after bodyweight, and if you are so inclined you may add in bodyfat measurements or bodypart measurements for the before and after photos. Voting will be done by all of you at the end of the contest. In order to keep the contest threads clean and uncluttered, do not post comments to other people in this thread. Those comments will be deleted. We will have a discussion thread separately for each contest where you can chat as much as you like. You may post additional pictures during the contest if you wish, to show progress along the way.
Rules for the Strength contest:
Enter the appropriate "Strength Contest Thread- Under 200" or "Strength Contest Thread - Over 200" and post video of your 1 rep max in the squat, bench press, and deadlift. At the end of the contest period, go back to your original post and add in video of your 1 rep max in all three lifts. Add in details of before/after bodyweight, as changing bodyweight may affect what class you ultimately end up in. Voting will be done by two or more judges until a consensus is reached. There are two ways to win in the strength contest. First, end up with the highest "total" of the 3 lifts, just as in a powerlifting contest. Second, be the person who has improved the most, percentage-wise.
In order to keep the contest threads clean and uncluttered, do not post comments to other people in this thread. Those comments will be deleted. We will have a discussion thread separately for each contest where you can chat as much as you like. You may post video of your lifts throughout the contest, if you wish. You do not have to wait until the end.
Please direct any questions to the "SwoleSource Contest Questions" thread rather than posting in a contest entrance thread.
