LOL you're not winning anything, pudgy.

I could probablyy only do the weight lifting competition. My mile time is 6:40 and I don't have enough weight to lose. I don't realy see myself getting a huge improvement on my mile, but my lift weight has gone down a few pounds.

And what is to keep people from cheating?

Either way, I will probably be in.  I have been progressively getting fatter and I really need to loose it.

lewl
This is great for a runner like me..
Count me in;
So far this season i'm running a 6 minute flat mile
If they post some of my times for the indoor track meets, i'll let you know

so far I max out at 140lbs bench press >.<

Well I'm in i guess.  Gotta get ready for racing might as well start now.

Well duh, anybody that is serious about it will most likely use some form of a supplement, namely protein shakes or weight gainers.

That way those of us who are already in shape or naturally gifted athletes have something to actually shoot for. As far as competitions: Best 10 rep bench press How many times one can squat with 225 Pull ups Push ups Logest distance doing lunges Mile, 5k, 10k time Body fat percentage Resting heart rate Best aesthetic appearence Some other cardio exercises? I can't think of any others besides swimming, and that just wouldn't be fair for yall :P

I like this a lot. These should be the categories, and if anyone feels the need to refine them, then put up your ideas.

As for proof...

I'd like it to be on your honor, because I doubt anyone is going to want to watch a few hours worth of video of forumers working out to authenticate anything.

For aesthetic appearance, that can be judged.

For a time frame: 6 months, with first "weigh-in" on new year's day. It gives us all ample time to plan an exercise schedule/eating plan, get used to said exercise schedules/eating plans, and gives us the time to get all the initial measurements of performance in each category.

So it all begins New Years Day?

Theres also plenty of people who take pride in not using any of those, and just eat right.
