I'm certianly not trying to scam anyone out of winning. If anything my attempt to set the bar higher was meant only to help motivate. I will be doing the same program I did last year anyone can look at it. I had planned to do it before the contest was even announced. I just got on board the contest for the fun of competition. And again its not about what the final pic looks like, its most improved.

Brian, I don't think anyone's taking it like that at all. We all would love to win, and making myself look the best will be part of the final days, believe me.
I'll be honest, since I'm sure someone will say it at some point in the next six months. I don't think the typical person from THIS forum, who will vote for any of us, wants to see someone who's oiled up, hairless, and self-tanned. They might surprise me, but I'm not taking that chance.
Some people here like bodybuilding, but I believe the majority prefer to see guys that look more like a Men's Health cover model, a well built actor playing a superhero character, and most likely, athletes.
Anytime there's a thread about physiques that guys admire or physiques that women "hubba hubba" over, 8 out of 10 times, it's an athlete. The other 2 are the actors or cover model types. I think it's rare to see someone post a pic of a bodybuilder for their example.
