What/When is the next competition?

starman · 12-03-2005, 03:29 PM

Sadly I found out about this competition a few months to late and I would definetly have gotten involved otherwise. I was wondering what or when the next contest is, as I would like to get involved in it. Thanks.

I'm guessing we'll have another competition going in the first few months of the new year, with more prizes ... more contestants ... and more categories to compete in.

starman · 12-03-2005, 04:52 PM

Sounds great! Im definetly up for that.

hmmm.... I just may have to join in on the next one :nosthumbs

The next IMPC competition is going to be bigger and better than ever.

I can't release all the details at this time, but I can say this..

We are looking at having a Novice Bodybuilding Championship, as well as an Open or Advanced Bodybuilding Championship for those who have actually competed before. We will also have a most improved physique competition.

One of my plans for next year is to have actual sculpted and engraved bodybuilding trophies for the winners.

More details about next year's comp will come after the conclusion of this years championship.

Get your training plans together because it's going to be bigger and better than ever! :nosthumbs

I'd love to do the next one.... but can we not have to do picture updates every month? I don't have a digital camera but I'd love to compete

**EME** · 12-05-2005, 01:41 PM

Hybrid, I understand your situation but monthly pictures will once again be one of the requirements.

There are two main reasons for the monthly picture updates.

The, first, and most important reason for the updates is that we want this competition to be for regular active IronMass members.

It's good for the site, and for the competitors for them to be actively training for the competition and posting their progress in the forum.

What we don't want is for a random person to come in and post their pics at the end of the competition and expect to walk away with the trophy.

This is competition for active IronMass members, and we want to make sure the person who wins is a regular on the board.

The second reason for the monthly updates is to validate the pictures that are submitted. This is especially important for the most improved physique catagory. We want to make sure that the competition is fair, and that the changes that happen to a competitors physique actually occur during the scheduled contest period.

Finally, it's a good morale booster and motivator for the board members and competitors to see everyone training and improving throughout the year. This is the real goal of the IMPC, and we want to see the competitors progress throughout the year as they train to be their best.

i understand your reasoning behind this, but have you considered pictures every-other month, becuase that way you will see the progression a little bit better..

**EME** · 12-05-2005, 09:45 PM

I have actually considered many options for ways to post the pics.
However, we have decided upon monthly pics as the requirement.

We want the IMPC board, and the pictures to be active and updated frequently.

We will offer nice prizes, and coming next year - even sculpted bodybuilding trophies for the winners.

We're not asking for any entry fees for the competitors. All were asking for are once monthly updates to let us ( and the rest of the forum ) follow along with your training and progress.

I'm going to work to make next year's contest bigger and better, and hopefully this will grow every year. I look forward to everyone's participation.

Hey, I'm wanting to participate! :rock: This is very motivating!!

:weight_li

Will you have a 35+ category? If not, I'll just *HAVE* to hold my own against these young ones. :devilwhip :dumbells:

Will have to find a way to :cam:

**EME** · 12-06-2005, 12:29 AM

Awesome to hear ss01.

There will be more news after the first of the year.

We probably won't have a masters class this year, but if next year's competition goes well, we could eventually expand to have one.

Next year we will definitely have a novice, and open class, and if there is enough interest a women's class.

In addition we will have the most improved physique which will be open to everyone.

I'm most excited about the trophies though. I know how much my bodybuilding trophies mean to me, and it's my personal goal to get nice sculpted, engraved trophies for the winners next year. That way you will always have something to remember your victory by.

Hybrid · 12-06-2005, 11:28 PM

I can get pictures (I get my grandparents camera or my sis's when she comes home from college) but I just don't know if I could get them each month

probably like every 2 months.
