I second Billfred's congrats, that is truly a unique fundraiser. Where did the idea come from?

One of our team advisor's has been affiliated with bodybuilding for a long time. We thought it would be a good idea to explore new ways of fund-raising and spreading the message of FIRST.

EDIT: I was asked how we make money off this:
Basically, we sold tables outside for people to demo their service/product and the participants had to pay a certain amount to compete. This is because an event works as a qualifier for a bigger event - or something along those lines. To watch the show, people had to buy a ticket.

Wow... I was totally expecting 'bodybuilding' competition to be a joke... thought i was going to see some guys with ball-pein hammers fixing dents in sheet metal or something.. not an actual body building contest...

Its definitely THE most unique fundraising I've ever seen... hmm... think i will end up trying that jelly donut eating contest anyhow... hawii here we come...

I have moobs too....... just they are rounder and more flabby.....

It should be noted, when we left the HS after dropping off Daisy, the car infront of us had the license plates "4MUSCLES" on it....

I've had a window into the world of free weights and machines for almost 30 years. This is what I know:
weight training is often mind over matter - when you lock out that last rep, when you succeed in a personal best.
For those who commit to a life of lifting and training, it means self discipline in areas of exercise, eating habits, training, rest - balancing this with school, work, social activities. Often the social activities suffer unless you meet those who live the life you do and understand it. You are competitive, usually with yourself but can be with others as well, esp. in the competition venue. To prepare for competition, the regimen becomes more strict, more intense, more focused. Weight training can help with overall build and well being.
