MuscleTech® $50K Transformation

The Biggest Contest in Bodybuilding History

The results are in for the MuscleTech $50,000 Transformation Contest presented by BodySpace.

In early March 2008, MuscleTech®, the world’s #1 sports supplement brand, teamed up with Bodybuilding.com and BodySpace, the world’s most visited bodybuilding website. Together, these industry heavyweights announced the biggest contest in bodybuilding history – the MuscleTech $50,000 Transformation Contest presented by BodySpace – and with it, one of the most lucrative prize packages:

• $25,000
• A year’s supply of MuscleTech® supplements from Bodybuilding.com
• $1,000 worth of MuscleTech clothing
• A VIP trip to Las Vegas, Nevada to see the 2008 Mr. Olympia
• A day with 2-time Mr. Olympia, Jay Cutler
• The opportunity to be featured in a major bodybuilding magazine

When news hit the Bodybuilding.com message boards, they lit up with excitement.

Challenges were laid and the competition began to heat up almost instantly. And beginning on March 24, 2008, 1,147 bodybuilders and diehard fitness fanatics committed to a full-blown, total-body musclebuilding transformation. Over the next few weeks the official contest thread grew to more than 2,200 posts spread across more than 75 pages. The contest blog filled with transformation photos and personal journals from contest entrants documenting their transformations.

16 weeks later, the entrants had given their sweat and tears and adopted a lifestyle that’s on par with that of some of the world’s top pro bodybuilders. Without a doubt, they’ve earned a place among those elite athletes.

Of course, Team MuscleTech™ is upholding its end of the bargain and awarding the winner with the best prize package in bodybuilding contest history. But most importantly, Team MuscleTech wants to thank everyone who entered. Your character defines the very reason Team MuscleTech exists – to continuously research, develop, patent and produce the most effective diet and sports supplements for bodybuilders everywhere. Win or lose, be proud of yourselves!

Thank you MuscleTech and BodyBuilding.com

Good Luck to Everyone! I hope you all feel like you achieved your best!

The transformation campaign has changed my life by giving me a new focus and that focus is now on taking better care of my body and health.

I have always been skinny even though I ate a lot of junk food.  But with this campaign I decided to do a little research into nutrition and came up with a healthy way to try and gain weight.  I also selected various work out routines for the gym and gave each workout my best effort.  It was tough trying to balance work, gym, and the proper number of meals each day but I hung in there.

Throughout the four weeks, I learned that it takes focus and discipline in order to change the way you look.  And this campaign has fueled me to have both.  Seeing what I can achieve in such a short time has motivated me to continue to build and transform my body and one day I will have the body of my dreams and the good health that comes with it.

ESSAY:

Well, here I am at the end of my grueling six weeks of dieting and training.  I would like to thank MuscleTech and Bodybuilding.com for the opportunity to achieve something I’ve never accomplished before.  That is shredding my body fat down to a single digit, 6%!  I believe Hydroxycut Hardcore played a tremendous role in aiding me to achieve my goal of a low body fat percentage.

I became a hardcore gym rat January 2007 when I was deployed to Afghanistan.  Being on duty 12 hours and having 12 hours to myself, I spent a lot of time working out and reading a variety of muscle magazines that inspired me to want to become a bodybuilder and personal trainer.  It was in the desert that I experimented with my first supplement stack, which was the Cell-Tech and Nitro-Tech Hardcore stack by MuscleTech.

I joined this transformation program because I have always been a bulky guy in the double digit body fat percentile, always wondering what it would feel like to be a single digit guy.  June 1st I was surfing bodybuilding.com website and scrolled across the MuscleTech transformation registration icon and said, why not?  Now here I am transformed by MuscleTech products 6 weeks later from 211 lbs, 11% body fat to a ripped 195 lbs, 6% body fat.  This has been a great experience for me no matter what the outcome and I’m even more inspired now to pursue my goal of becoming a professional bodybuilder.
