MucsleTech Contest Participation? Not likely.
I’ll "ghost compete". Not officially enter, but set the goal for myself anyway. I’ve heard of some runners doing this in certain races; starting just after the start line and going off the course right before finish so they don’t have to pay racing fees and what not. Not a practice I condone on the racing realm. However……
Competing officially in an online contest would be great, except for this nugget here:
By submitting an entry, you grant to the Sponsor and its agents the right in perpetuity to reproduce, publish, and use your Pictures, Essay, name, biographical information, and opinions in any way, in any and all media, without limitation and without further compensation. By submitting an entry, you warrant that you have the ability to grant the aforementioned rights to the Sponsor and its agents.
With what I want to do, I can’t have that happening. I can’t sign over complete control of that information forever (perpetuity). I may never compete in any contest until I leave the military because of it but if that’s the case, so be it. Ghost competitions until I find a new line of work.
At first I wasn’t going to compete at all but I remember that I can still compete with myself, if not for the $50,000. Besides, why use an excuse to keep you from achieving something you want? The money isn’t that important. My lifelong health and fitness IS that important.
Who will judge/criteque me?? You guys of course!!!

Well, you know that "Me, Myself and I" are always the worst enemy. You know, that being you. We all look ourselves up and down and complain. I am too fat, too thin, my delts aren’t big enough, defined enough, what have you. I think this is a good idea, it will help you for when you do get into a comp.

Hey did you see the LG 12 week transformation contest? Since your not using their product I doubt they have the disclaimer. I havent looked but if your interested check it out. The prize isnt huge but the motivation and support would be worth it

I’ll watch and critique, but it will be positive feedback, ok?

You’re probably one of the only people alive that reads fine print. Good luck with your competition, even if it is ghostly.
