    All did well.

    Unfortunately there has to be a ranking.

    Anyone improving upon themselves is a winner

    REMEMBER THIS SHIT ISN'T OVER JUST BECAUSE OF AN END DATE!

    stay in competition with yourself and your goals 24/7 365.

    Never stop.

    Buddy your cycle is just taking off and you did good.
    You would have been in the top had your cycle began with the comp I assure you.

    to be bluntly honest here. the judging was tuff not just because of the physiques, but because of the photos taken and the types of photos. some guys photos were very clear and I can blow them up to a nice large size on my laptop and see every detail.. other photos would not enlarge and not all that clear (or the lighting sucked or something, which makes it hard to see those details . and when we are talking only 3 months for a transformation, every little detail counts).

    I think taking photos and uploading them in a quality format that can be enlarged plays as much a part as how well the physique itself transformed.

    but its kinda the same in a bodybuilding show as well .. its not always just the best physique that wins , its the physique that can also display itself the best as well. you gotta know how to display yourself in the best way possible

    Agree.
    Some of these guys I know look better than they presented. Cell phone photography is a bitch.

    I would like to thank everyone for the support. I thought my pics sucked.
    Everyone did great and thanks to the judges. I previously judged and it is a bear with so many variables (lights, poses, etc). I now have 4 weeks to improve as much as possible.

    Congrats Charger and everyone that competed! Like many have said you are competing against yourself. Keep working and it will pay off.

    Don't wait though IMHO the older you get the harder it gets. I will take one parting shot ... looks like the saggy ball club did pretty good!

    Any suggestions on how to post the pictures for the next comp. They are always the biggest issue and the most important. Maybe mandatory side by side pics posted by competitor. Also exact same poses for start and end. If not you’re DQed. Any thoughts let me know.

    Yes, I spent some time on this thinking about it. The organizer can create a simple Google Photos Album of each person. Very simple to do and see before and after pictures. I'll be happy to help out with that specific part if needed.

    That sounds like a great idea. Would make things much, much earsier.

    Not at all. Also, I never do a loading dose. Just .25mg 2x/ week before bed and about 30 minutes of good old Southern sunshine a few times a week. As long as the UV index is moderate you'll get some color, even if it's cloudy.

    It is very easy to get the pics right. I feel that everyone should have to submit front relayed, back relaxed, dbl bi front, dbl bi rear, legs (MANDATORY TO ENTER) then be allowed two more of whatever they want. Here is what I did. I took my pics and uploaded them to enter. Then for post comp I took my pics and uploaded them but did not post them.

    Ok so now you have all your before and after pics uploaded. You can also name them frtdblbipre frtdblbipost and wore different underroos. Then I simply dragged frtpre to the upload section and then dragged frtpost next to it, then pre back post back pre leg post leg etc .......

    Also maybe you should add like 20 place holders on page one of the comp for finished pics. It would make it easier a year from now for people to see them without searching. Once we find what works then we need to be consistent with each comp.

    EDIT: I could do a screen capture video of how to do it and then post it somewhere for contestants to follow.

    That's another good idea.

    Once there's a set protocol, I bet even more people will view the thread and possibly join the forum if not a member and/or enter the competition.

    The competition is a great idea to draw in more people.

    I do just about everything from my phone and use Tapatalk. It is different. I had to log in directly to upload some photos. I really struggled.
