I agree it was a bit of fun and the best person won imo - that was always the rules.

If you start categorising for one thing i.e. natural or assisted, do you then have to have male/female categories, age, height, weight etc. You would probably end up with only one person in one category!!

It would take away the essense of what the shape-up generally is which is some added motivation for 12 weeks.

I did it unassisted but even if I was I still would not have won!

End of the day, it was a bit of fun. If you want to be serious about it tho, every one know the rules at the begining of the comp and to moan about them at the end is a little daft!

I certainly enjoyed it and it drove me on when perhaps I may have come unstuck otherwise!

Well done to Papa,

But I feel comparing someone who is natural against someone who uses AAS is a bit silly tbh, as the natural is playing a totally different game!

Not taking anything away from Papa, he did a great job, but maybe to encourage and acknowledge what natural members have achieved, should we not have a natural category?

See me sig

Sad to see this go. Has been a good motivating section of the forums for me to keep me doing my best and eating well. Roll on the next shape up!

Woooooooooooooooo hooooooooo!

Thank you for everyone who voted. Hard luck to Welshy and AWG, I really thought one of you two would pip me to the post. And for everyone else who took part - hopefully you've taken something from the cut/bulks you did and can carry that forward and use it to your advantage and get a little step closer to where you want to be.

As for me, early on it the cut the weight fell off me and then slowed massively, really thought i'd played my aces too early and luckily enough for me, with the help of the likes of All4n, TIO and a few others on my diet, I pushed on and lost more fat - thanks guys. Well that and 600 mins of cardio a week and 235 mins of lifting.

Slept like a baby 9pm til 6.30am 7 days a week - really is a wakeup call when you see what the guys do in the pro arena to get where they go when you work as hard as I felt I did (trying not to sound pompus or blow my own trumpet!).

I'd like to end with a quote:

"Never say the skys the limit when there are footprints on the moon."
