Next Most Improved Competitio988999n

[guitarzan]

Now that didn't go as planned but how can you say no to all these people wanting to join in on the fun. Lol

The more the better to me, but I understand what gb is saying. It's all for fun and motivation to me, so more people makes it better!

I agree . The more the better. Trying to keep track of all people leaves more of the unknown.

I do!! Still high depending on how clean I eat......

100 on the Losartan and 32 on the Candes. He said it should be equivelent but I think he was still trying to fathom that I wanted to switch because my internet bodybuilding friends thought I would be better off lmfao. In the end he was ok, now he wants to see if it does help my sex drive.

btw: The dosage thing was something I wanted to talk to you when I pm you, but Im sorry busy as crap. Have to train, cook this morning and drive 60 miles to a going away party at 1 then hopefully get home with a little time to start working on fixing up the house for when we leave. Got doors with holes in them I have to change out

That's about where I was thinking you were on the Losartan and was going to suggest trying 24 - 32 mg/day of candesartan. May want to give it a few weeks to stabilize if you stay on it.

Usually any BP med takes a couple of weeks to settle down to it's actual effects from my experience...except Clonidine. I was on it once when the heart went really bad. F*ck that med. It will shrink your dinger down so that it fits in your watch pocket and is crazy strong. Definitely a short term usage med.

I think APIs is on 32mg candesartan daily and really likes it. Seems like he said it nuked his headaches as well. I'm on 4mg candesartan daily and 6.25mg carvedilol b.i.d.

LOL, if you need doors with holes in them I have a few and I think I have the remnants of a heavy bag that had the guts knocked out of it as well.

Just drop me a PM when you get time. Howdy to Mrs. BG.

[BG]

50 mg day 25x2
Some get by on half

OK. Have you always halved your dose? Mine is once a day, I wonder if that would help because it bothers me at night and I take my meds first thing in the morning.

Mine comes in 25mg doses. I half them all and take two, 2 x per day usually. Dictors script is commonly doesed twice per day.

Hope you read that after I edited. I screwd up

With the ongoing comp I've been handicapped by no gym for half the run and some other setbacks, August well summer it's harsh where I live and it's a factor I need to consider, I'll see how things progress this month if I feel like 100% in I'll join next one otherwise I'm out.

I'd like to participate in this one. Wanna get leaner without losing muscle/ hopefully gain a little. I'll be off cycle the whole time so it'll be good to see how I do with maintaining my recent gains. Also, my coach is planning on reintroducing carbs in my diet. So many changes- good time to keep close track of things

Some additions, new thread coming

I haven’t been in the gym in almost 3 months. Here is my current condition.



I’m a shoe in for most Improved. I can’t go anywhere but up.

[cousinmuscles]

Might as well put it here. The criteria for winning the competition is pretty straightforward:

Judging criteria
Judging done solely based on starting pictures compared to finishing pictures.

The judging critera are most improved physique, in terms of muscle gain and fat loss.

At the same time, de-improvement in your physique should be penalized, such as fat gain and muscle loss, because your physique obviously de-improves.

Hypothetical scenario, if:
person A gains X amount of muscle,
person B gains X amount of muscle and loses Y amount of fat

person B wins

if,
person A gains X amount of muscle
person B loses Y amount of fat,
if X is greater than Y, person A wins, vice versa for person B to win.

so there is some logic to it but the criteria is still as basic as it gets, gain muscle, lose fat.

Doing something like not training legs should also be penalized because thats only gaining muscle in half your physique...

The judging system is based on a points system. Each judge ranks each competitors improvement from first to last. I will then compile the rankings and give points for each ranking;
Each first place ranking from a judge gets 10 points (if there are ten competitors)
second place 9 points
third 8 points
...
Tenth place 1 point

The competitor who gets the most points wins.

So basically improve your physique, with two measurable variables: muscle gain and fat loss. Muscle loss and fat gain is penalized. If anyone has any ideas on what can be done better please post and why. It is simple and straightforward, and while different people will obviously make different judgements with these criteria, it is easier to make up for it by having multiple judges, than to try and create concise criteria where politics get involved. There might be ways to create more concise criteria without one type of body being favored, but I simply don't know how, so please folks if you have any input then post it up

Looks like a perfect setup for you to take an uppercut, should teach you a lesson about posture AKA ultra shitty posing!

Is this better?


Time difference 5:47 to 6:09 of the pictures. I did 10 push ups. This is going to be easy. 10 more push ups and I’ll win.

[hammerheart]

Talking about shit pics can I use ones straight from finals?

Three months no gym? Says a lot about the discipline of this person. What's your plan of attack, use the max amount of AAS you can without dying? Ha ha ha

It has been that long out of the gym.
No I’m too old to run a lot of shit to look good but feel terrible.
I’m down to 196 lbs and look and feel tiny as hell.
I’m going for size. Back to my avi or better is the goal.

[Capebuffalo]

Just keeping it real.

Great posing Cape!

I was thinking. ... Cape got into my head.
It’s OK my posing on legs couldn’t make up for the tree trunks on the monsters. LOL

I always said do as I say not as I do. Lol
You looked great. It’s good to be thinking about all the body parts on stage so you remember to flex everything hard.
