Hey teamRIPPED! The big showdown with XcellentFitness is coming up, and our bravest souls have emerged from amongst our ranks to step forward and represent us in the Asylum Challenge!
They have been going absolutely insane over the past 30 days, dialing in their nutrition, working harder than ever, and taking their fitness to new levels they never thought possible. They’ve chronicled their progress with videos, photos, and measurements. And they’ve submitted them to me so that we can compile a final teamRIPPED Asylum Challenge video for judging by Shaun T himself. Many of these contestants already had phenomenal P90X / Insanity results, but all of that is out the window. This challenge is about 30 days and 30 days only — what can Asylum do for your physique and your performance in such a short amount of time? You’ll be amazed!
But before we do the final video, I need some help in selecting our Top 10 to represent us!
Now YOU — yes YOU — will get a chance to see the “preview” video, and vote on our top 10. We have many worthy contestants, and any 10 of them would probably win the contest with ease, but unfortunately we can only include 10 in the final video. In the meantime, we need to keep our results “top secret” (we can’t have Xcellent Fitness lurking on here and watching our video!). Thus, I’ve emailed the link to our unlisted preview video to everyone who is a member of teamRIPPED (check your emails for the link — it’s in TODAY’S “Coach Wayne Checking In!!”). You’ll get a chance to see some raw footage and pics of our Asylum inmates, and then you’ll have a chance to vote (instructions for voting are included in the email).
**BTW, we had a glitch with video #2 — someone’s video clip contained music that got the video blocked. I’ve fixed the situation so that the video is now working with the same link, but in order to do that I had to mute the whole thing and let YouTube put some random song in the first few minutes. I am very sorry to Chad and Brock, both of whom had eloquent speaking parts in which they shared their deepest, darkest feelings about Asylum! Now all we see is their lips moving!! Don’t hold that against them! Brock shaved nearly 3 thenths off his 40 time, and Chad, who is 5’9″, throws down on a 10′ rim (for those of you who can’t read lips!!)
And NO, I can’t resend the email to anyone and everyone who claims they didn’t get it. Sending the link to the videos through the weekly coach check in email is my best way to be sure that we aren’t leaking our results before the big showdown, so if you aren’t getting those coach check ins, you’ll just have to wait and see the final video once I make it public next week. Sorry, but I’ve got to hold our cards close to the vest for now!
I will allow voting to go for the next 2 days only, and then I’ll select the top 10 vote-getters and get busy doing a final video with music, effects, and the whole 9 yards. Don’t vote based on the quality of the footage, because like I said, it’s totally raw. Vote based on results (physical transformation and/or improved athletic performance) as well as who inspires you to want to do Asylum. Shaun T is looking for people who’s results and story are inspirational, and we’ve got that!
Congratulations to everyone who participated in the teamRIPPED Asylum Challenge! We are ALL winners! Now we shall proceed to ANNIHALATE the competition :-)
Oh, and once I get the final video together, I’ll share that with you, as well as a compilation of all of our contestants’ full length videos (for the purposes of our team video, each person only gets about 20-30 seconds, but many have done some great full length videos that I’ll share with you later).
