Well, we’re almost there.
Due to my shotty internet connection over the last couple weeks, I’ve decided to extend the deadline a little to make up for my absence.
That means that the Go Sleeveless Transformation Competition will officially come to close at…
MIDNIGHT PACIFIC STANDARD TIME, WEDNESDAY JUNE 10th
If you want to remain eligible for the contest prizes (awarded to the three most impressive transformations), then you must have your details submitted no later than that time, although feel free to submit earlier if you like.
REQUIREMENTS:
Two Full-Body Photos (one side view, one front view), re-sized to NO LARGER than 5×7. Again, because of the swarm of entries I will be receiving over the next week, if you don’t bother to re-size your photos, this could crash my server with all of the big files coming in. I don’t want anyone to be disappointed, so please ensure that you follow this step.
Measurements (weight, left and right arms, bust, waist, hips, thighs). Please provide both your before measurements as well as your after measurements, and what change you saw for each. For example. Waist Before: 28″ Waist After: 24″ Change: Lost 4″. While photos are important, they don’t always tell the whole story, so I want to be able to provide my judges with data for how much your body transformed.
Testimonial: I would like you to write a short paragraph or two about how this experience with myself and the Go Sleeveless System has changed your life. It’s the sad truth that while most of you reading this know that I genuinely care about you and want nothing more than to see you reach your goals, the vast majority of folks who stumble upon this site automatically assume it’s a scam or just some money grab, or that I don’t even exist! In order to keep doing the work that I do, I depend on the word of mouth and testimonials from people like yourself that know and trust me, and know this program works. Your testimonial can go a long way in helping me to continue running this blog and to keep offering free advice and coaching.
Some Tips To Improve Your Chances at Winning
I will be submitting your photos and measurements for judging to a group of my peers – don’t worry, I will be cropping your faces out and asigning a number to your photos so nobody will know who you are.
Most people take horrible photos. I know, because I am one of them, and my wife is a professional photographer, so I REALLY get to see how bad I am.
In order to improve your chances of winning the prizes, you want to present yourself in the best way possible. Because it’s a known fact that by simply paying attention to proper lighting, smiling, wearing something that flatters your figure, and by doing your hair and makeup, any transformation you experienced will be amplified by your nice photo.
Conversely, if you are frowning, don’t bother doing your hair, have unflattering lighting, and just take a shot of yourself in the mirror, it can easily hide all of your hard work.
Put some time and effort into getting the best ‘after shots’ possible. Get a friend to help, and experiment with a few different lighting patterns, and SMILE!
Also, don’t forget, you’ve still got a few days left to really kick it up a notch! You will be amazed at how much your body can change in a matter of a few days. So keep that nutrition program on course, work hard, and get those last few pounds off over the next week. That could be all you need to push yourself over the top and capture first place.
Good Luck Everyone!!

Hi Rylan,
Just a few questions:
1) you said to wear something that is flattering, does that mean something other than a bathing suit, as bathing suits are not the most flattering piece of clothing
2) what are the testimonials being used for? where will they appear? will they contain our full names and where we live? and are they part of the judging process and will help determine who wins?
Would appreciate some answers, I’m sure that the others have the same questions.
Thanks for your time

1) Bathing suit is preferable, but not required. You need to be able to show off your changes. For example, if you have a bathing suit that you prefer over the one in the original photo you may want to wear that if you feel you look better in it. Completely your call.
2) Testimonials, if they are used at all, will appear on the Go Sleeveless website. Your general location may be used (like province or state – but no more specific than that) and your name can be changed if you wish and face not shown. I appreciate that many people aren’t going to want their real name and location used and there is no problem with that whatsoever – I completely respect everyone’s privacy. The testimonials will have some pull in the judging, just like the photos and the measurements. I want the judges to be able to see and hear about how the program has benefited you and what you have been able to achieve. Photos and measurements alone don’t always tell the whole story.
Thanks for the questions, and looking forward to hearing about your results!

oooh did not see that coming
so is a advertising scheme
what about those who did not purchase the program
Lot’s of people don’t have the program but have still been getting all of the free tips and advice I post on this blog.
I’ve also made free workouts available with full video demonstrations. Most personal trainers online have paid membership sites and don’t give anything for free.
I think most readers would agree that I’m pretty generous with my time and I offer a lot of helpful advice and information and expect nothing in return. The amount of hours I spend writing and filming and running this blog are extraordinary, and that is all time that I’m not getting paid for.
Yes, I make my living selling my workout plans and coaching services, so I hope people trust me enough to buy my programs, use them, and see how valuable they are with the results they get. But, I want to be able to offer those who can’t afford it something too.
I can’t give everything away for free, how would I survive?
If you were a teacher, would you show up every day and teach your class for free? Can a baker run a bakery and just give away all his baked goods? Not unless he’s just won the lottery and wants to keep working for fun.
I haven’t won the lottery yet.
If this was all just a scheme to get testimonials for my website, why would I be going into my own pockets and offering prizes? Why would I spend time each week giving homework assignments and special tasks to help you get better results? Why would I write articles and tell you all my secrets for losing weight and getting toned arms?
All that time and money I’ve spent, I could have just purchased ‘paid testimonials’ like every other infomercial out there. All I would have to do is put out an ad for before and after photos, pay the person for their photo and testimonial and be done with it. THAT would be a lot cheaper, and save me an INCREDIBLE amount of time.
I hope most of you realize that from the amount of time, effort, and money (this is not one of those free blogs – running this site is not cheap!) that I put in here, that this is not an advertising scheme.
Makes sense to me
I am interested in the next competition. I live in the Bahamas. Will this be a problem?
