+ 3 EBC IS A SUCCESS---MORE TO COME!!

ad

Hats off to the guys who competed and finished the first EBC.
For those who did not finish, go back to the drawing board and see where things went wrong and find a solution. That's exactly what I'll be doing as I was one of the ones who ran into trouble---injury, a crash, and poor timing. The next EBC will be a short cycle---6-8 weeks in length, and will afford all of you another opportunity to show what you've got.
Please give us a few days to look over the results and get with our suppliers to determine prizes.
Also remember---we will be judging results based on the criteria that was posted in the initial EBC notice. This is cyberspace, so keep in mind we are going to approach this with common sense. If you don't know what I mean by that, then you may want to consult amongst yourselves to speculate. But lets just say I'm not a complete stupid-ass...I can spot bullshit from a fair distance---You know, like those ads in Muscular Development Magazine that the criminal supplement companies place in order to get you to buy their ineffective bullshit. That means if you went from a fat slob to an IFBB body in 12 weeks, you've pretty much assured yourself an honorable mention at best, but that's about it. I've been in the iron game for about 31 years now, and I know what can be done with and without steroids. I watched and trained guys for decades. Steroids are effective, but they aren't magic bullets, and we figure if if you look like an Olympic contender now, but looked like a Special Olympics contender 12 weeks ago, then bullshit is in the air. Nobody who gets into that kind of shape lets their self go that far in the other direction----they aren't cut from that mental mold.
Finally, this contest was about muscle building---- not fat loss. Fat loss is cool, but if you wanna good fat loss contest, tune into the "Biggest Loser" every Tuesday evening. The EBC is about the biggest gainer.

I was just reading this whole thread and I struck me. Everyone who entered the EBC is aleeady a winner. Did you improve your physique? If yes then you have won. This has started to get very ugly the last few days and I am sure it wasn't in the original plan for that to happen. Guys the judging is out of your controll so there is no point getting all worked up about it. Does that mean I don't care if I win or loose NO. Of course I would love to win this but we have all done the hard work now so sit back and be happy for everyone that has done themselves proud. At the end of the day this whole idea was due to people never reviewing a SRC properly so Goth basicaly told us to put our money where our mouth is and show me that the gear from SRC blah blah is good. So the real winners of this are the community of ER as they ow know who's gear they can order. I have seen alot of jealousy here over the last few days. I don't think that is in the spirit of the comp. also just to mention something. If you have never dieted for a BB Comp you have no idea how hard that shit is and as such you should not really be trying to comment on this person cut up and that person did that. It's about how you transformed which leads me back to my first point. Everyone is a winner if they improved themselves.

Well said.
The entire community benefits from the EBC, by showing us suppliers that provided effective gear.

I agree with everyone. The EBC was an awesome idea. Gave great motivation to take it to the next level. I am so glad I found eroids. It is the best, most informative site out there for guys like us (and girls!). Thanks BFG, Goth, all the mods, all the sources, everyone. Great competition, great website.

Was a fun journey and really gave me something to reach for on my first cycle. I made my diet my first priority and I believe it payed off.

LOL!!! we aren't penalizing anyone for losing fat. Losing fat can only help you. But if all you did was tighten up on your diet and hit the treadmill to lose 10 pounds of fat, then that tells us nothing about how good that Deca or test worked for you in terms of adding some beef.

Thanks for giving me this opportunity. This cycle was my biggest learning experiences ever. I now appreciate and have more respect for a diet. Honestly i never thought it was that big of a deal even tho everybody's preaches about diet this diet that i honestly never thought it was that serious until i got put on a pre-contest diet. I now have the most respect in what your diet can actually do. A pre-contest diet is no joke you will start losing energy and feel like Shit but that's part of the process, but if you stick to it i guarantee it will pay off, i have been on an eating binge since my last pic's and feel like a fat ass now lol. Anyways, good luck everybody

LOL....when you first came to eroids, you looked pathetic....I'm sorry Bro, but there's no nice way to say it. Now, you have turned it around 180 degrees and look awesome. I'm very impressed with what you and many other members have done during this contest.

Lmao and the funny thing is back then i though i looked good well not that good, i did start letting myself go also i did leave the gym scene for about 2 yrs prior to when i first signed up on here. My first cycle with lixus i thought at the time was a good transformation for me and that's when i didn't think dieting was that big of a deal, i just ate everything in sight. Like i said earlier, i now respect what dieting can actually do and will never underestimate what its capable of

Thanks for being awesome! I think all the guys who finished did great! Sorry you had troubles, but I know you will keep on keeping on! Also, thanks for taking care of this contest the way you guys did! Not getting too involved in the drama, but shutting it down when necessary! You guys couldn't have handled it better. I think at this point we are left with a lot of great guys who will support the judges 100%!

From what I understood, this comp was about the best transformation. So putting on muscle and losing a great amount of fat isn't anything that should be judjed negatively IMO.

But yeah I'm pretty certain your referring to the var guy. I guess we all better get on that stuff asap!

Well lets take phil100kg for example; he mainly lost fat, because he is a competitive bodybuilder and needed to get ready for his comps.

Although he basically mainly lost fat, his transformation is still one of the best. If you take the fat loss component out, well, then, you know where I'm going with this...

You have, without a doubt one of the best bodies here on eroids. I can't comment on where you are because I have seen only one or two post-photo submissions from other members----I want to wait until I can sit down and see them all. You may or may not be a winner, but I can tell you from just what I know that there are few, if any members who can touch what you have done in terms of accomplishments. Having said that, we will be making our decision based on what we feel was the most effective use of compounds from suppliers here on eroids.

jhendo's picture

Yeah.. Wow i guess this changes some things.. As far as judging... I should of stayed at 233.
