The forum has been pretty dull recently, and I feel that we need something to bring us all together like the faceoff's/hunt's did.

Most people here aren't doing stunts anymore, so I thought we need something else, that everyone can if they like join in on, and recently Ive noticed alot of people mentioning 'getting back into the gym' and working out, so thought something along these lines would be good, especially as summer is coming up.

So here is what I'm thinking.

'THE GET STACKED CHALLENGE'
Summer edition.

I'm sure the idea will be ridiculed, but I see no reason why something like this couldn't help out our health and bring people together on HGF for support and to chat about it.

It's very simple, 2 months to get as stacked as physically possible. Now obviously no-ones going to become arnie in 2 months, but its all about reaching your set out goal, whether that be loosing weight, toning up, bulking up or generally getting fit.

The competition starts this friday the 15th of May. and ends 15th of July.

To enter you need the post in this thread the following details (before the 15th); Your weight, and a picture of you from front on and side on (obviously clearly showing the parts of your body you want to change) You also need to state what it is your tying to change, so this could be getting thinner or a goal weight you want to be, or just see how muscly you can get in 2 months etc. Then on the 15th I will make a thread and show all the pics and info for the challenge to begin, and we can use the thread to post weekly updates or just chat about the diet and exercises that you are currently doing etc. and people from HGF can try to not be penises and actually try to encourage people.


Think this could be a really good thing, and I can guarantee someone on this board will actually take it seriously and end up going from flabby to hench in two months, and everyone will kick themselves for not doing the same and it might even motivate people to do it another time, as if its successful there can be many more Get Stacked Challenges!

So yeh let me know what you guys think of this and if your interested in joining in. Either-way I'm going to go for it (might not succeed) because summer is around the corner and I'm in pretty bad shape at the moment and am pretty unhealthy. I know the likelihood of actually getting into shape is increased greatly when other people are doing it as-well and there's abit of healthy competition along with support.

At the end of the comp we can post the before and after pics and have some polls to see whos done the best out of HGF. Also the few muscleheads on this board, please dont say some shit about it being unhealthy or w.e doing this kind of thing, or that 'you will never get stacked in 2 months because you have to bulk up, then tone up then muscle up' and all that crap because this isnt about becoming a musclehead, it's about looking good for the ladies this summer, not spending all summer in the gym looking at guys asses.

So who's interested in doing this?

And who's just going to post random crap because they fail at life and are too scared of being ridiculed and failing?

Let me know guys.

lately ive really been trying to get bigger again but I never seem to get enough free time to finish the schedules I make for myself but dope idea heh, summer is coming up so.

the guy in the video achieved something but I don't think the guy on the pictures changed so much, if you look at the first pic you can see his arms and chest already have a great base to train with.

so to me it looks more like he has just been cutting on his food schedule for 3 months and getting dry.

Haha, this aint gym forum though. Howbout a skit-thingy-thangy? Like loooong collaboration skit that consist from many different parts and every part is done by different people. Like the first weeks skit is done by Rip/off the second week is done by Dex, third week me, etc.

And the storyline/theme/something would be continuous in every part. I know that settings, actors and pretty much everything would change, but still somehow the parts would compile a big picture, an entity.

Did anyone get what I was trying to suggest?

Yeah, I getcha. Me and Matt had the idea where we mailed Rape Shoe around the world and everyone used it to film a quick video with; then tie them all up at the end. I reckon any idea like that could work quite well.

A rape shoe? :biggrin: But yeah, something like that. Dont know if it would need anything physical exchange between people, could need "too much effort" and be off putting.

This is a great idea, for sure I am in. Before pictures need to be posted once people have been recruited.

Edit: You need weekly progress updates also to keep this going properly, I.e. if you plan on gaining muscle mass or losing weight, how much you've gained or lost etc.

I will create a write up with some workouts and eating plans later on.

Yeh man, weekly updates are definitely needed.

So currently it's Me, Ray and the Gman who have been recruited.

Yeah, I'mma need some tips, regiments, and guidelines if I'm going to make any progress. I mean, I can do sit-ups and chin-ups with the best of them, but I doubt it will lead to any legitimate changes.

I'm in! 'Nuff said...

EDIT: And the guy in that photo won't have put that much lean body mass in 3 months unless he was taking illegal supplements, he could have gotten leaner and bigger but not that drastically.

Yup, you can either lose fat or gain muscle. No chance of doing both unless you are black and have freak genetics.

I will be making a website for this during the week for launch friday where me and Corus will be posting tips if he is up for it, and then later on I will add the functionality for users to post their before pictures, after pictures and blog their progress, but as an interim the forum will be the main point of discussion.

11 May 2009, 12:13 UTC#18
Yeah I'd do that if people would be interested. If people aren't interested in getting bigger but more interested in getting stronger, quicker or to have more endurance let me know as well because I'm more specialised in that sort of field :biggrin:.

I just got out of the shower and shaved my stomach so you guys can get a clear look at what I've got going on. :cool: My camera is pretty shitty, and I spent all day at a baseball game and got burnt on my arms and neck yesterday, so don't mind me looking like a farmer.

Alright, first pic is just regular-ass pale me.

I couldn't get a good shot from behind right now. The camera has no timer, and I couldn't get it to not be blurry.

:wub: Thanks Dex, but I do have some love handles popping up I wanna get rid of. And, like they were saying earlier, I probably have mass fat all over my vital organs.

My goal is to get more tone and definition, and to gain some healthy weight. I'm tired of being so scrawny and passable to the ladies.
