Venus and Adonis Index Contests 2011
Last night we did the Venus Index webinar and besides a few tech issues (apparently my phone was putting out a big echo) I think it went well.
We covered the basic philosophy of the Venus Index and the workout, the most common pitfalls that end up derailing women along their fitness journey and a new approach to eating for shape and weight loss.
This also marks the official start of the Venus Index community and the lifestyle. This is a place where like minded women can share information, stories, support, and have their questions and concerns addressed.
As with the Adonis community the members of the Venus community will shape what it becomes, and I will be there on a regular basis to answer questions and help everyone work towards their best look.
Just want to say thanks to everyone who attended the webinar and I look forward to chatting with you all in the community.
Next up is the first ever Venus Index Transformation Contest!
Venus Index Transformation Contest
The details are still being ironed out but this is what we know so far:
It will start early to mid Jan 2011
It’s a 12-week contest
There will be prize money going out to the top finishers (likely to the top 5)
Adonis Index Transformation Contest
The 4th Adonis Transformation contest also starts early to mid Jan 2011
It will be a 12-week contest
There will be prize money going to the top finishers
And this time we’re likely going to add in a level-2 competition for guys who have finished in the money at a previous contest. The level two contest will be judged differently than the regular transformation contest as it will focus on the finished look vs overall transformation (as level-2 guys won’t have a huge transformation to make but are now to the point of refining their look so to speak
I’ll be posting more info and updates once we’ve got solid dates set for this new round of contests.

Great, I’m looking forward to it. I cannot participate in the 3rd contest because I’m after leg surgery, but you just brightened my day with this great news. Hope there will be a category for the younger guys again.
