Mental & texas show: AM members critique, comment thread

p5sky said:
Great job everyone! definitely the Overall Winner is Viking, IMO. You are thick. I appreciate all the comments and criticisms, it is what helps to improve. I dont plan on competing but I do work hard to improve my size and symmetry. For those planning on comp in the future: GOOD LUCK!

I enjoyed this experience, kind of anti-climatic now that its over, like the day after graduation, prom, or a wedding. All of the prep and then . . . . . poof its over.

Thanks MentalTwitch and TexasLifter for organizing this and thanks to all of the sponsors.

Cheers,
P5sky

yeah its been awesome working toward this goal. I love working towards goals. and yes it does feel anti-climatic as in no pressure, its iver done zip zilch. the comradrey has been great and anything that brings people together like this has done for me is just awesome.
 
Looking good John. Once the bf comes down you will look so nice. Nice back. Like how its wide.

I know, I wasn't near as lean as I should have been. I should have been in alot better shape for this. If I had started my diet when I first learned about the Comp, It most likely would have met my goal. In my pics I'm probably 240+. I realize this isn't respectable for any comp, and I apologize. But I figured I would post, because I promised I would, and I'm a man of my word.

No need to apologize man! Being a man of your word is most definitely respectable. I look forward to seeing you take all these guys out next time!

I give you props for posting man! Especially even though you did not meet your goal. Its a very respectable thing.

TRUTH!
 
Im not going to beat a dead horse, but well done to everyone, ! Viking is just a tank:) But I will say, maybe next time you can advertise this a little more, I mean the only ones I felt that were following this was the folks who were competing, with the exception of 2-3 people, I.E Aggravated being the main person, and myself popping in a few times thru out the day ect.ect

I know mental said allot fo people dropped out, but the way I look at it , you guys had many companys come on-board for this with there products, And It just didnt seem to turn out like it should have, now, to Tex and mental for putting this whole thing together , Great job guys! Just next time maybe switch it up a bit..
 
Congratulations on everyone who followed through with their goal of bigger, leaner, more fit than they were a few months ago. i know it's hard to keep going while everyone else is out dirnking and eating through the Holidays.


I sent Texas and Holy my opinions on placings. No hard feelings :)

I looked at physique first and foremost
Angles, lighting,posing and clarity did play a role though. If you threw up a myspace pic angle then you didn't receive full points :)
 
Alright guys. I will go throw up a judges review thread For them to post in. Jayhawkk would you mind reposting yours in there? I have not received anything from any other judges yet... did holy give you a response?
 
I agree; it's a shame that so many people had it hyped/amped up at the early stages of the contest, yet beyond that, they either just didn't commit to doing the competition, or they didn't think it would work out in a serious manner. Either way, that sucks, because Mental and Texas did a great job getting this moving, and the supporting companies went above and beyond in providing awards/prices. BUT, then again, it was the first ever online bb competition (here @ am.com at least), and now that people see that it actually came through, perhaps it'll be motivation enough to jump on the next bandwagon.

A note for the [hopefully] next AM.com bodybuilding contest; more advertising for it; a pop-up or an ad/banner @ the forum. Something that says the date clearly; something that makes the competition looks REAL and serious.


Still, great job, Texas & Mental for getting it together for us all here @ am.com, and congrats to ALL competitors for biting the dust and going in front of that camera after weeks and weeks (and months and months) of training and dieting.

thanks man! It was definitely a learning experience. I am planning also set the next one up in a shorter time frame. I think that was partially the problem as well. I would also like to get each participant to do a Competition log and I would link them in the thread as well. This way it will keep them a bit more bound and focused on their goals. I would love to be able to get a temporary sticky or something advertising it. Also guys please hit me up if you want to help me with this next one to make it bigger and better. I am thinking a 3 month time frame from this one.

I call for lack of dedication, or just life. Sometimes you just get knocked off your horse, you know?

It could have also been a mental thing for some people. I know that's how it is for me sometimes!
 
Thanks man!

I think another comp would be a great idea! I know Im a little on the small side but I also took my cutting too far and am just figureing out how to manipulate my diet just right to add some lean mass while staying lean. So I say lets do this! I need the motivation!
 
oh yeah forgot to comment...No, my Gramps and Dad were and they get that newspaper. I used it because I couldnt find any others
 
Aggravated is getting aggravated haha
 
Aggravated said:
Did the damn results ever get posted anywhere?

I didnt want to ask, so Im glad you did. I mean damm, a few days after and nothing? this is one thing thats needs to be fixed if there is going to be another, its just not fair to the people who really busted there ass to prepare for this. **** Aggravated should have judged this:)
 
I can't post them again from phone but feel free to copy/paste then if you need to before I can get a chance.

Holy hasn't responded to me yet but I'm sure when he's on he will.

Back to the steel for the next one, except im coming in with alot more mass same weight hopefully. Thanks to all the judges and tex/twitch for making this possible and all the supplement companys. Great job everybody!
