We're off to a great start - although we may have to disqualify SC because he'll probably scare off the competition. 
I'll post it on the juicer board (hey, all are welcome) later today. Once we get everyone in on it then we'll determine a day for the contest (not too far off or people will probably lose interest, maybe a 1-4 weeks to make it interesting).

Yeah, I may have to hold out as well, being that my #1 goal is getting full running/sprinting mobility in both knees again after surgery, so I can then go full force w/out hurting recovery efforts.
Once we know the time-line, I can confirm.

<<<Waits for jubei to show up.
We need to have current confirmed pics otherwie it'll turn into another Fonz fiasco. You could always compete in the second annual contest.
What kind of time line were you thinking? I just didn't want it too far into the future since people seemed to grow of these things quickly.

So we've got all these people on Elite with supposedly great abs and after posting this on 3 of Elite's boards we only have one other definite contestant (Bobbyjenious). I bet if I said the contest would be in 6 mos we would have hundreds of takers - of course no one would show for the contest.

NJRipped said:This being the diet board and since everyone has been sticking to their diet, why don't we have an Elite best abs contest for motivational purposes. Each contestant can submit validated pics. And don't use the usual excuse "I'm bulking."
ABS are a function of diet. SO you should have a contest with a bodypart that really requires work , like a wingspan contest.

There are actually quite a few interested, and this was just posted the other day.
A "wingspan" contest doesn't sound like a barnburning event.

Ok, I have an idea that will make this much more interesting. A friendly competition - you v. me (your diet v. mine). It would be great for your business. You set any date you want and I'll agree to it - even today if you want (I have one of those very rare digital cameras - lol). Only rules will be post non-professional, verified (newspaper/magazine) pics. Everyone else would still be allowed to join of course. Will you accept the challenge?

Hopefully it's soon, as I plan on putting on some good mass over the fall and winter, so I def. won't be as sharp.....maybe we should do it like Needsize said and wait about 6 months.......we should also have a gear/non-gear category and then a best overall.....as I think NS and SC might run away with this one......tell you what, I'll be a judge and post mine for shitz and giggles.......my bf right now is about 7.5%, up from 5 about months ago, but I could get back there in a few weeks......

If I feel that I'm lean enough to win (I'm training w/some football players now for my knee-rehab, as I had double patellar RUPTURES!) I'll enter my pics when you are all ready. My focus is not really abs now, but I can see where this will be fun, and I do already have abs as I never get so out of shape that you cannot at least see their outline.
It won't be a "diet vs. diet", it's a person vs. a person. If you want to do "diet vs. diet", we'll get 10 people each, put them on dietary programs, and see which 10 make the best progress. This again will have to do w/genetics and such, but is a better sampling if one is to do "diet vs. diet". That and I don't have "one" set dietary approach.
So, dependent upon the date you all have, and my personal re-hab w/legs and all, we'll just have to see. I can't totally commit yet, as getting my knees to 100% and hitting L.A. for some print/film-work in December, is my MAIN focus.
Gotta get paid and get that exposure first of course, that's all business!

Saying that you will submit pics if you feel that you're lean enough to win is not exactly agreeing to a contest. lol If you don't enter pics and you don't win then I guess the fall back plan would be the knee injury. I believe the "cankles" excuse has already been used in a previous contest so you're safe with that one. I'm just busting your balls but this is what I mean about only one other person "actually" agreeing to enter without conditions. So, Bobbyjenious you still out there and ready? I guess we'll give it to the end of the week to see if anything changes.

CAPS.....
RIGHT, MY POINT WAS EXACTLY THAT, I AM NOT OFFICIALLY "AGREEING". YEAH, IF THE TIME COMES AND I HAVE PICS, I'M IN. IF NOT, THEN I'M NOT. PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. IT'S NOT AS IF YOU ARE PROVIDING SOME "GRAND PRIZE TRIP" FOR THE WINNER.
I DON'T MAKE EXCUSES, I MAKE PROGRESS. DON'T FORGET ABOUT MY SITE/BIZ/ETC., THAT IS MY GOAL/FOCUS, NOT AN AB CONTEST AS "FUN" AND AS MOTIVATIONAL AS THAT MAY BE FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT.
WELL, THEN JUST COUNT ME OUT THEN IF YOU THINK I'M AN EXCUSE MAKER BRUTHA, I'VE NO TIME TO PROVE ANYTHING, I'VE DONE THAT ALREADY.
THEN COUNT ME OUT, THAT WAY IF I DECIDE TO ENTER LAST MINUTE, IT'LL BE A POSITIVE INSTEAD OF ME COMMITTING NOW, THEN LATER FOR PERSONAL REASONS (KNEES/OTHER ENDEAVORS) HAVING TO "WITHDRAW" FROM THIS COMP, AND HAVE YOU VIEW IT AS "BACKING OUT". SO WE TURN A NEGATIVE INTO A POSITIVE
YA'LL HAVE A BLAST.

Damn, didn't mean to get you all agitated SC - you're right, it's better to not commit than to pull out at the last minute. I'm not sure what you mean about not having the time though - I wouldn't spend any time "training" for an abs competition. About the only thing I might do would be to lose some water before the pics were taken. My diet and ab training would remain exactly the same.
I believe that competiton is already in progress at Elite!
"JKurz1 Well, that was pretty geigh errrr fun....let's just see who can get the fattest!!!! Much more fun!"

Sorry bro, it's just that I have A LOT on my plate. What I meant by "training" for it is losing water and that of course, yes, but even to remember that we are doing this and to make sure it's at a time where I am able to lose a bit of water and the like. (Not into some other endeavor, traveling, etc.) I just didn't want to say "100% for sure" then not even be AROUND.
You know some will say they don't need to prepare for anything, but they are going to do a TON of work in all actuality. If I can't participate, it'll be fun to read about it and see all the pics of those who entered.
Enjoy!

Thanks a lot brother......I don't feel that shredded...just skinny and weak...kinda makes me want to stay where I'm at and just get more ripped, but my strength SUCKS right now......I do appreciate the kind words.....BobbyJenious said:Looking torn mang!

Well, since Bobby just had an appendectomy, unless we get some other partcipants I guess the contest is off. Jkurz, I believe you said you wouldn't compete - did you change your mind? Not that everyone on Elite is a flake or anything (how many so far have said they would compete and then backed out) but for me to compete we would need to submit pre-contest VERIFIED pics.

How's that going by the way? lol Well of course you want to be like me but I'm sorry to say that it won't happen. This is my last post to you unless you decide you want to compete against me - which of course you never would do. lol

Hey JKurz is your bi-polar acting up?
I leave for a bit and come back to hear that you're juicin'? Is this true?

I don't have any problem with people not posting pics but when you open your mouth and declare yourself the winner in this contest it's a different story. Then, you need to either enter the competition against me or post validated pics. You've been juicing for how long now and still can't show any pics?

I was joking. I seriously would've entered. I'd like to have until Halloween for this, so stop being polite, and start getting real. So let's decide on a time-frame (I gave my preference), categories, and door prizes.
Ok, lets go through the Elite "bag o' excuses" to look for problems (my answers follow):
1. Do any of your loved ones have cankles? No
2. Do you have any pre-existing injuries that may arise? No
3. Do you have a digital camera? Yes
4. Are you able to submit pics with a current magazine/newspaper? Yes
5. Have you posted physique pics on Elite before? Yes
6. Can you post current pics? Yes
7. Is there a reason you will claim that you cannot give this contest your full effort? No

NJ - My pics from last week are in my gallery.....if you don't believe me, thats ok. I was much more diced this summer and wish I would have had access to a camera then, but that's all in hindsight.
I can give credit where credit is due and your ab detail is pretty good. You should try and put on some mass, you'd look even better. I started to try to put on mass about 4-6 weeks ago and have gone up in bf (about 1-2%%) which is tolerable. Right now, you would beat me....but my goal is to add mass, (WITHOUT GETTING FAT) THEN rip up.....don't want to turn back now and delay the process, as my approach is very slow at maybe 1-2lbs a week....fall/winter is only a few months long.......for me, getting shredded and staying there is MUCH easier than putting on weight and it looks to be the case for you as well. SO this is my new goal. Maybe in the spring we can have a diet board full body contest.....Needsize, sorry bud, you are in-elligible (lol)......
HOWEVER, I'm pretty confident I could still beat 75% of the board at my "fattest".....

Well, I guess the contest is over. This was posted on three boards with 77,000 members and not one serious taker. lol What happened to all those people with the great abs avatars? lol Fonz comes to mind.
On a lighter note, ironically my digital camera broke today. Strangely enough I went to the store and was able to buy a new one. Who would have thought you could just buy a digital camera just like that? I hope this knowledge might help some of the bros.

I hope this knowledge might help some of the bros.True bulking is so '80s. Why bother unless you're going to compete. I'm 170lb @ 5'10" now and you know what you would say if I was 200lbs - bro, you should bulk. lol I know you weren't trying to take a shot at me. My point is that "the bulk" will never end and you will be fat 99% of your life simply because you aspire to "get big." My philosophy is why look like shit 99% of your life when you can look your best everyday. Hey, I should write a book.

Bulking doesnt have to equate to getting fat.....My approach is a long, 1-2lbs/week MAX......I monitor my bf% and will not let it go about 10%...I agree, many are too concerned with getting big that they end up getting and staying fat...I have a goall in mind, and when I reach it, I will re-evalutate....NJRipped said:True bulking is so '80s.

On a sep. not, I doubt many would tell you at 5'10, 200lbs that you need to bulk...I was 6'2, 185 and definately needed some size for my frame.....that's all I was saying....

Ok, something really needs to be brought out in the open here. I think that you are aware of how things are at Elite but are attempting to spare some Elite member's feelings. I base this upon the fact that I don't recall the last time you asked for serious bodybuilding info on Elite.
You are unlike 99% of the members on Elite. You take your training, nutrition and steroid use seriously. Most here do not hence the fact they look like crap. This is the reason I believe you wouldn't ask for their advice.
Bulking for them is just an excuse to overeat in most cases. Of course it isn't necessary to put on a lot of fat but they do - why - because they don't take it seriously. Steroid use for them is just another, as they call it, "recreational drug." I cite the case of Satch v. Juice Authority as grounds for my contention (as well as the fact that most are afraid to post a pic).
