Hell yeah!

I’ll get the first post edited with the rules, timelines with dates for folks whom “Memorial Day” makes no sense (my bad), etc. by end of Friday (US)!

Are days of the week SI units?

Yeesh, these metric folks still using fortnights and moon calendars need to catch up with the times.

… time zones?

I took this in way too literal of a sense, but it had me squirrel off so badly I learned some of the ridiculous old british units…

  • Barleycorn: length of a grain of barley
  • Perch or Rod: the total length of the left feet of the first sixteen men to leave church on Sunday morning

Ye olden times were big dumb.

I can tell I’m not going to be productive at all today.

EDIT:
Don’t even get me started on Edward’s yardstick.

Thinking back, I remember Ben and TJ telling me this is why we needed our own country. G-Dub didn’t really care and couldn’t count, anyway, he just wanted to fight and the French had already moved North.

One of the only people in history I’d have been hesitant to do shots with.

So pictures have to be taken and uploaded on Jan 1st? Final photos same thing on last day in same place with same lighting?

Also are there certain poses everyone has to do?

That would be the most legitimate and honest way to do it, but there’s also a bit of a running gag about making your before photo as “before” as possible by using poor lighting, being bloated, sticking out your gut, etc and then using the after photo to shave off all the body hair, find the best lighting, perfect angles, etc.

This is all in good fun. If you feel like you need to cheat internet strangers just to win some free Surge, you honestly probably NEED that Surge more than a dude who would win on their own merits.

I am happy to join this, although do I need to wait until Jan/1 to start? I just setup some threads in nutrition and beginners forums

haha

But I will do it.

Absolutely not. We just create a start and end date to compare photos - none of us should be pausing our pursuits of awesome on either side of that.

Just stay on your path dude. This isn’t a “change your goals” thread unless you want it to be. No matter the goal, we can all make some great transformations in the time defined.

I’m in. I’m hitting some 5+ year weight PRs so the timing lines up perfect.
