A huge thank you to all our AGW competitors who dedicated their time, effort and energy to update their competition logs, answer questions and support each other throughout this journey. We all know how busy life can get with work, family, and everything in between, so taking the time to engage in this competition is no small feat.
These competitions are designed not just to motivate body transformations, but also to keep us active, disciplined, and connected as a community. This year’s comp was twice as big as last year, double the competitors, double the prize money and we couldn’t be more impressed with the level of dedication and effort on display.
It’s been a challenging year for the judging team. We reviewed 20 log entries, looking at activity, update quality, progress photos, and overall engagement. We’re truly lucky to have members who support each other with respect and keep the energy positive.
A special thank you goes out to those who went out of their way to provide detailed logs and share as much as possible about their journey. This kind of effort is what our community is built on, giving others insight into your approach, sparking engagement and encouraging questions and discussions around your progress. That’s where the real value of these comps comes from, learning from one another, motivating each other and building genuine connections.
And of course, a big thanks to our moderation team for keeping the forum clean, supportive and safe for everyone.
We understand that your final photos aren’t the only measure of your results. Lighting, pumps and timing can all affect how a photo looks, that’s why we place a big emphasis on progress photos and regular updates. If some members couldn’t provide certain details or images, we did our best to fill in the gaps, but ultimately, we can only work with what’s shared. Please know this isn’t personal.
This comp was designed to put the results in your hands. The more you posted, engaged in conversations and shared your progress, the more control you had over your outcome. The stats speak for themselves. This isn’t a professional bodybuilding contest, we’ve kept the scoring simple to ensure every member had a fair shot at the prize money.
Here’s how scoring worked:
Transformation Score: Based on your starting stats, before photos, progress updates and your transformation over 4 months. We assessed each individual journey, whether it was adding size, leaning out or maintaining a look.
Engagement Score: Calculated from your posts and replies throughout the comp.
Final Score: A combination of Transformation and Engagement Scores.
Below you’ll find the transformation pics. We’ve tried to keep poses consistent with your original submissions to make comparisons fair. Some members may not have after photos or enough progress updates, so no score could be assigned. If your transformation score doesn’t fully reflect your progress, it’s likely due to missing info or photos that were difficult to evaluate.
Take a moment to be proud of what you’ve achieved, every single journey is worth celebrating.
Stay tuned, because we’ll be revealing the winners tomorrow!
