Forum Fitness Competition

For the next 6 months, we shall be involved in a fitness competition.

The objectives and divisions are being worked on.

There wont be any judges or anything (except in the aesthetic part), because the measurements will be qualitative.

Traineo can help you log your efforts.

You can start preparing now, but the first weigh-in (official start of the competition) will be on January 1st. Get your weight, running times, lifting ability, etc (depending on categories you wish to compete in), in on that date.

It's probably not a bad idea to require it. At the very least it'll standardize calculation of BMI and record progress.

I think I'm in.  I've lost 14 pounds in the last 4 or 5 weeks, so hopefully I can keep going.

i'd be in but i am on my own specific regimen that does use weights, but a lot of other things to get ready for iraq. i'm not looking to be jacked, more all lean muscle and endurance. otherwise i'd be in to get jacked.

An idea I had for measuring strength increase is weight lifted (in specific ways) over BMI.

Throw in some suggestions.

The different categories allow for different types of people to get involved.
If you see a better way to measure progress, then say so.


And yes, the out of shapers will probably win most catagories. This is more to motivate us than it is for the people that already have healthy body weights.

For the people who consider themselves in shape, you can compete for fastest runner or other things along those lines.

pic/videos must be provided?

most pushups/pull ups/curls etc/ most wieght put up in whatever exercise?

i wish there was a way to cheaply find out body fat %

Longest endurance?  Who can run/walk/jog the longest before collapsing?

I planned to start doing stuff for other reasons anyway, so I'm in.
