You may self-report your stats on the challenge page in comments, below. You will have to use a different method of ascertaining lean
mass and bodyfat if you are self-reporting. Use the calculator here:

http://onrockrockon.blogspot.com/

You will have to use the same method at the conclusion of the challenge.

Please report:

1. Bodyweight
2. % Bodyfat
3. % Fat Mass
4. % Lean Mass
5. Max Rep Overhead Squats @ Bodyweight or % of Bodyweight 1RM
6. Max number of C2B Pull-Ups
7. Max number of Static HSPU
8. Max number of muscle-ups
   
9. Max number of static muscle-ups
   

See standards, below.

Here
is the format for the Power/Weight Challenge: This is specifically NOT
a weight loss challenge, those might be fine for TV, but focusing only
on weight lost is simplistic and not for athletes, some of who need to
gain, not lose, weight.

Losing "weight" is really, really easy.
Losing fat mass, without losing significant lean mass (muscle, bone) is
difficult. Losing fat mass while gaining muscle mass is quite difficult
indeed but by no means impossible. Gaining muscle for some is just as
hard as losing fat is for others.

So: each participant will pony up $50.00 for each 5 week challenge, winner take all.

Stats
will be taken at the beginning and end of each challenge, including
lean body mass/body fat using a decent bioelectrical impedence scale.
Come fully hydrated for each test to minimize the error of the scale
(it actually measures total body water and extrapolates LBM from that).
Picture optional.

Challenge "A" will run from Sunday, July 27th to Sunday August 30th
Challenge "B" will run from Sunday September 27th to Sunday November 1st.

This
will give us time to concentrate on FGB IV training and also not have
our metabolisms spun down much. Done correctly this will result in
significantly improved athletic ability, not to mention looking better
naked.

Each participant will choose a category (I will not allow
gaming, you must choose the proper category, If you don't know, I will
guide you):

Ninja AKA Hardgainer AKA Ectomorph
Tank AKA Chubby AKA Endomorph
Hybrid AKA Everyone Hates You AKA Mesomorph

Points are assigned thusly:

Ninja - 1 point per pound of mass gained.
Tank - 1 point per pound of fat lost -.5 for each pound of muscle lost
Hybrid - 1 point per pound of muscle gained, 1 point per pound of fat lost

Overhead squats:
from .25 to .5 BW 1 point
from .5 to .75 BW 1 point
From .75 to BW 1 point
1X BW 2 points
Each additional rep @ BW 1 Point

C2B Pull-Ups:
One point for each additional point above baseline, including zero.

Static HSPU
One point for each additional point above baseline, including zero.

Muscle-ups:
Two points for each additional point above baseline, including zero (first muscle-up can be from bent arm, all subsequent reps must be from full lockout).

Static Muscle-Ups
Three points for each additional point above baseline, including zero.
