*** ATTENTION!!! Calling all EF Cutting Experts!!! ***
Well, first, don't laugh... this idea came to me this morning while in the middle of a caffeine-fueled kick-ass cardio session. (just if you care to know: 45min straight at 85% MHR).
The thing is, I love reading and contributing in these forums... for those of you who read everyday, you know I am a little bit hooked on this thing, I think it is a great tool.
However, we do answer the same questions over and over again (seems we have a dysfunctional search button). So, since we will all be cutting for Summer, I thought: "why not make this in a way that we can have some fun and leave something for the new people", so the idea for the 1st (I hope ir's the first) "EF Cutting Competition: Cut that Shit" came to mind.
A Cutting competition??? you might ask yourself, "this ain't no stinkin BFL website"... I know I know... but wait until you see what I have thought of.
How to participate:
1. The competition begins on the 1st of April and will run for 12 straight weeks.
2. To Participate, you need to send me:
a. Picture of Before, shirtless, with a proof of date, which will be made known later on. (I will create a website with the stats and pics of each of us and later on the progress and diet, actually the diet will be a link to the forum and I will give the password to the website in the forum so that only Elite members can access the site and the diets)
b. Your stats: Weight in Lbs, Body Fat%
c. Your consent in participating in the award (I will explain later)
d. You need to post, in the thread that will be created for that your ENTIRE and DETAILED diet, training and cardio plan. WIth all details: Menues, macros, calories, TDEE, BMR, If you use any formula, the formulas you used. The works.
3. The minimum participant number per categorie (male or female) is 10 people. Otherwise it would not be interesting.
4. Every 4 weeks we will publish review pictures and stats
5. You can change your diet a maximum of 2 times (Your original plan plus 2 variations), but you have to explain why. People not participating on the competition, please refrain to comment on the diets. We will see the results later on.
What you will win, if you win:
1. Bragging rights
2. Your choice of up to 3 months of Platinum membership (up to 30 US$, depending on what Offer Spellwin has going on at the moment) which I will pay myself or if you don't want the membership...
3. ...The commitment from all the participants in your categorie to hit you with karma as much as they can during a month (I hope the mods don't ban me because of this, since this is not karma whoring: whoever wins this thing deserves that green. Besides, there is a certain rodent in the C&C forum I want to ask how to give karma everyday to people)
What you will win EVEN if you don't win:
1. A better body in 12 weeks, you DO want to be the hottie of the summer, right?
2. The added value of the competition feeling, the more serious you take this, the less you will want to cheat (all that people looking at your progress pics). You will not believe how much the competitive feeling can keep your fire stoked... it's like having 10.000 gym buddies.
3. The knowledge of what other people do (and the proof) to get diced.
4. That warm tingly feeling you did this all by yourself and you got great results.
What will the newbies win
A single thread with at least 10 different complete Cutting programs for boys and girls and the result people achieved with them, including details of the plans concerning diet, Training and cardio. A more comprehensive thread than that is hard to find. Hopefully if we do this right, it can be a nice sticky.
Rules (I came with the idea, so I get to create the rules... Damn, it's good to be me...)
1. No gear. Though I have nothing against gear (Hey, I am Venezuelan, ALL gear is legal there), most of our newbies are VERY overweight people or teenagers, or worse, overweight teenagers. The message I want to transmit to this people is that YOU TOO CAN DO THIS NATURALLY, AND THIS IS HOW. Gear is for people who is already fit and want to reach a peak, not for overweight newbies or teenies... so NO GEAR ALLOWED
2. The formula used to calculate who wins is: (Lbs fat lost - Lbs LBM Lost) / Orig Lbs Fat . As you can see, this formula:
a. Penalizes your LBM loses (I did this on purpose, no cutting diet where you loose all your hard gained LBM is a good one, this ruls out all starving diets, so if you plan to win ths thing based on the cabbage soup diet, think twice).
b. Also you will notice that this formula converts your fat lost as a % of your original fat content: Why this? simply because a pound of fat lost at 9% body fat is MUCH MORE difficult to loose than a pound lost at 25% body fat. I am trying to be fair and encourage people of all physiques to join.
(ideas for further rules are more than welcomed)
So that it is, right now, we have already 1 participant (me, because I will cut for 12 weeks very intensively in preparation for summer).
OK bros, we all have seen you know your shit and that you like to help people out, right? so this is the time to prove to yourself how good and dedicated you can be.
Questions? post them here. You know you will cut anyway, so why don't give this thing a shot, have some fun in the process and leave something for the newbies...
You have exactly 1 month to get your homework done, ask as many questions as you want and decide wether this thing is for you or not. Just remember, there is no late inscription, so come 1st April you are either in or out... i

PS. I don't do this for Karma, so if you think this is a GREAT idea, don't hit me with karma, save it for people who steer newbies in the right direction with the correct advice (oh yeah, and for the winner...)
