Pretty sure the idea from the start was the biggest transformation, hence the “T-ransformation”. Any superlatives - best overall, best arms, smoothest coat of fur, etc. - would be a secondary thought. The proverbial icing on the cake that most of us have avoided the last few weeks.
From the original-original announcement thread:
"This “contest” is more meant to motivate you and give you an outlet for getting a little crazy with this hobby for a few months, and as such we are operating on an “anything goes” basis. No categories, no weight classes, no natty/non-natty groups… Again, this is meant for us to have some fun, encourage each other, and all get into shape for summer.
The “winner” will be voted on by the T-Nation forum members. We will let the community decide what they think the winner is… Is it the person who looks incredible but only went from 8% to 6% body fat, or the person who still looks amazing but went from 20% to 8%? Or maybe its the person who lost a leg in Iraq and had to get overcome extreme adversity to lean out. The votes will decide your fate."
