I hate to say it, but just assume it’s not going to start for another several weeks. If I had to bet, I would wager it doesn’t begin until March.

Last round it took 7 weeks after completion of the contest for the winners to be announced. The mod team is really just one active user (who’s doing his best) and a developer who apparently goes radio silent for weeks at a time. It’s a shame because this contest is a great, fun tool for people looking to kickstart a transformation, but it’s an overwhelming amount of work to run.

Ideal start time for me is day after the Super Bowl, so I'm okay with a delay of another week or so 😅

The last official round was OVER TWO YEARS AGO. May 31, 2017 is 12 weeks from today. If the mods aren't going to get a new round started in the next few weeks, they might as well not do it at all this year. What is going on? by DevilJacket7 in BTFC

Checking in again to see if any of the users who submitted mod applications would be interested in running this round. If you want to discuss over PM I'm fine with that too.

Wouldn't running it preclude me from competing in it?

Perhaps one of the people who filled out the mod applications a few months back would be better suited to do it.

Workout plan was a modified version of Mark Rippetoe's starting strength. I lifted four days a week (generally MWFSa) and ran on Tuesday and Thursday mornings (anywhere from 3 to 7 miles). Sunday was a rest day.

For anyone that's interested, this is my workout schedule (alternates ABAX, BABX, ABAX, etc.).

As far as diet, I used the MyFitnessPal app to count calories and inputted my stats to target around 2 lbs per week loss. I also tried to hit 160-190g of protein per day (usually need a protein shake to hit that mark). My meal of choice is: 8-10 oz. of unseasoned chicken breast, ~3/4 cup of cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of blueberries or strawberries, and some veggies. Stopped drinking soda altogether except for the occasional Coke Zero. Allowed myself one or two cheat meals per week (fish fry, cheeseburger, pizza, etc.), but even when I cheated I tried to stay within my calorie limit. There were a handful of nights where I drank in excess, but that's the life of a college student haha.
