Friendly Fit Competition? (1 Viewer)

[BarrieJ3]

Shirts a little snug? Can't see your soldier?

Perthmike ran his self bet awhile back, but recently a couple chippers have mentioned getting back in shape (publicly and privately). Thought it might be fun to get those folks together for a friendly competition (maybe put a sample or card capper up), support, and assuredly some jeering by the public.

If you're a private person, we can keep a lot in PM, never publicly sharing your "numbers".

Just drop a line expressing interest and we'll get it organized.

Dad bod made me finally get back to it, had to dust the weights off, 4 years no gym had caught up to me

 

[Frogzilla]

I’m in. I have a decent set of samples I can pick from to ante up. Sitting at 235 and haven’t been able to run in 6 weeks because of heel issues. Planning to try cycling as the weather cools off.

When are we starting?

 

[DZPoker]

I’m in. Covid has cancelled everything I used to workout for...so I’ve just been a lump on the couch since March!

 

[RichMahogany]

Probably in. Depends on what the metrics are

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Time to start water weighting up !

 

[12thMan]

Might be in. I’m a very private person though, I’m not sure if I’ve got the stones for it all.

If it helps, I have several extra stones I can loan you? (Assuming we’re talking about those crazy Brit’s weight measurements!)

So it wasn’t just me who thought those yellow plates would make great fracs?

@davin buys winner a personal gym with neon colors? Agreed?

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

In. Been needing to get back to the gym regularly

Give it the week for folks to trickle in. I'll start a group chat for additional information, but figure any time in the next two weeks people can grab their starting weight. Today, tomorrow, next sunday, whenever, just get it in by say Friday the 11th (so two weeks).

Probably in. Depends on what the metrics are

I'll lay out what we think is probably the simplest way to do it in PM. But if half folks want to do lbs lost vs % of total weight lost, easy to split folks into the two groups.

Might be in. I’m a very private person though, I’m not sure if I’ve got the stones for it all.

We'll start a new thread to track progress once we're underway. I would say that anyone doing this should be respectful of others, so if you don't want anything public, nothings public. Just a fun way to try and improve health during all this Covid, when it can be hard to get out there or have your normal support peeps in place. Think on it, but hopefully there is 0 downside to jumping in.

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Interested as well.

That's a spot on description for me. But with a tasty sample, DBs, and single bounty on my head, perhaps I can provide a little self encouragement. Lol then again, tasty rewards may also encourage others. Damn, I didn't think that one through

 

[pacmartine]

I have a belly like St. Nick, but a mind like a diamond. I'm in desperate need to get my head out of my rear. If I crash and burn, it will be epic so no judgement here! I'm in!

And happy to start by putting up these:

 

[davin]

Annnnnd now I want a personal gym with neon colors....thanks

Have em powder coat it any bright color you want... was happy how this color came out.

 

[BarrieJ3]

Once we're underway I'll get options listed, but for now assume my bounty will be a you pickem setup of sample/DB/sealed cards.

 

[RichMahogany]

If we’re judging by weight lost, then I’m out. I started a calisthenics program at home about 6 weeks ago and have recently added back some light lifting. I’ve slimmed down a noticeable amount but my weight has stayed exactly the same.

Besides, my overall goal isn’t weight loss it’s fat loss while adding more muscle definition.

Really like the idea just doesn’t work for me. C’est la vie.

 

[timinater]

Yeah I’m in. So what’s the deal I put up a little something and the the winner takes all? First pick in the sample draft of wha?

Lol just do BFP with Davin and Perthmike. Or what would be the best indicator for you?

And I feel ya. I look like Santa Claus at 250, but even years back when ripped I still sit at 220+.

It just depends on the interest. Seems like we're getting a good little group together.

Simple example is we have ten guys who all just want to have weight loss. We just do the ten of us, whoever loses the most over X length of time. Top 4 keep their little something, and then draft picks. Top guy picks first, then second, then third, then fourth, and first gets the last one as well.

We'll do a group PM to see what everyone thinks and what they're interested in, and get it underway. Won't be hard, we'll have a thread and maybe a shared excel file, I'll stay on top of it to make sure it goes smoothly.

@Big Jilm (only because I saw your mentioning picking up running to get back into better shape a bit)
@Ben8257 (only because we've mentioned not being in the great shape we were as kids or younger selves)
