How do you deal with the judgement/stereotypes of being a bodybuilder?

r/bodybuilding Second Annual Online Bodybuilding Contest

Fellow r/bb subredditors, five years ago we held our first ever online bodybuilding contest. It was a success, but we have never repeated it for lots of mostly lame reasons. Now that so many of our community have prepared for a competition and then have suddenly been unable to compete because their shows were cancelled due to Covid-19, it's time once more to get real with our online competition. The last time we did this, we had six months' notice to prepare for the competition and over 100 subscribers signed up (though far fewer actually competed). This time we have a huge crowd of nearly stage ready competitors itching to see if they can win. Let's make this happen—for them and for all of us!

Now timing is the tricky part. Obviously, none of us is doing a competition in the near future, but some of us were stage ready 4 weeks ago and will need some time to get back into condition and some may be hoping a summer contest will still be a possibility so they can't jump into a contest right away. So, to entice people from both of those camps, and some in-between and maybe even someone who wouldn't dare step on a real stage and just want to see if that have what it takes, we have chosen to host this contest right here on r/bb on Saturday, May 29th at noon, Central Daylight Time in the United States. This gives those of you who need it, time to get (back) into shape, and it allows those who may be shooting for a contest in June or July to still do this show and treat it as a warm-up for the real deal.

Interested competitors should message me directly as soon as you are willing to commit and tell me what category you plan to compete in. We will cut off participants on Friday, May 28th at 6pm Central Daylight Time, USA.

Here are the rules:

RULES

You can only compete in one category (men's bodybuilding, men's physique, men's classic, women's bodybuilding, figure, or bikini). Since we have no way to confirm your stats, like height and weight, we will not further classify these basic categories by height or weight, and since we have no way to test for substances banned by most "natural" organizations, this will be an open, untested contest.

A code word will be posted in the competition thread the day of the contest which you must write on a blank piece of paper and hold it up as your first photo in your competition album. Entries without this critical photo showing the code word will not be judged.

You must wear appropriate attire in the photographs you submit for the competition. This means if you have never competed before and you don't own a pair of posing trunks, classic trunks, board shorts, a two-piece bikini, or clear high heels, you need to go shopping. If you send us photos of you in your underwear, Speedos, or one-piece bathing suits and flats you will be not judged. Each photo must show the entire body from head to toe. No cropping, filtering or morphing allowed.

NO SELFIES, meaning you cannot be seen in the photographs to be holding your own camera pointed at yourself. You may use a timer on a camera and take your own photos that way, but we highly recommend getting a friend to take the competition photos for you.

Photos must be posted to a website of your choosing that allows photos to be displayed as a photo album and which will not require a username or password for the judges to access. Your submission must be made as a comment to the contest thread created the day of the contest by adding your comment/post to the existing contest discussion and including a link to your contest photo album. Non-competitor's comments will be removed from the contest thread. Albums with additional poses (not listed below) and non-contest photos (like from a photo shoot) will be disqualified.

The moderators of r/bodybuilding will be the judges. Moderators judging the contest will get evaluation sheets only at 1200am on May 29th No judging should take place until the final entry deadline of midnight on May 29th. Judges will have to submit their score sheets to me no later than 12:00pm CDT (USA) on May 30th. The moderators will be required to take into account the up and down votes each competitor submission/comment receives, but subscriber voting will not be the only factor the judges consider.

All tanning products are acceptable. Women may wear jewelry.

Placings in each category will be announced sometime on Sunday, May 30th. The only prize will be bragging rights and untold fame.

POSES - You must submit, in addition to the code word photo, just one photo of yourself in each of the following poses for your category of competition. If you need help with posing, photography, dieting or proper attire, please search the web for guidance. There are many good sites and videos on each subject. Of course, our FAQ also has good information on contest prep.

Feel free to post things in the Daily Discussion Thread that don't warrant a subreddit-level discussion. Although most of our posting rules will be relaxed here, you should still consider your audience when posting. Most importantly, show respect to your fellow redditors. General redditiquette always applies.
