Scitec Megatest 2008

Once again, as another step, in the decade-long sequence, the Scitec Megatest has been held in springtime, 2008. Scitec Nutrition is that kind of company that with the involvement of so many bodybuilders, constantly publishes information in the form of films, photos and articles about the strength of its products. There are two ways of doing such a test. One is to look at the internal effect of the products, which we have done, using a computer tomograph. The other is to take a bunch of bodybuilders and see the effect of the products on their development. This years’ Megatest, being not the first we have done, was held with the participation of 150 people. The goal of this test was not just to prove the effectiveness of Scitec Nutrition products, but let us be honest, to sponsor some future sportsmen that would not have had the chance to prove themselves with their financial background. The bodybuilders that manage to become a member of our Megatest, usually progress just as much in the short term of 8-12 weeks, as many others in a whole year.

To the tests

The essence of a test like the Scitec Megatest is that a life-like situation is created, where people of various body types and of financial backgrounds, various levels of motivation and differing time intervals available for a workout, all prove that it is possible to achieve such results. And thanks to seeing their accomplishment you yourself will know that you will be able to reach such great changes no matter what your background is. We wish you endurance in achieving your goals and as motivation, you can read the results of our test below.

“Man has no right to be an amateur in physical activity. It is a disgrace to become old, without having seen the beauty and power that the human body is capable of.” (Socrates)

This could be the basic thought of the Scitec Megatest 2008, which once again was hosted with 150 energetic participants. The test was broken down into three parts. Although the public transport company was on strike, all participants arrived on time, even from several hundred miles away. The whole test-team awaited the guys with excitement, who arrived in a group of 30 every day. Of course the novelty of the whole situation made the participants a bit shy. A great emphasis has been laid on the poses, because one of the goals of our test was, and always has been, that professional quality pictures and videos would be made of the guys, which will show the great change and will serve as a memento on their participation in the Megatest.

To tell the truth, we had a lot to do, but it was worth it! We wanted that everyone shows their best, that the pose is correct and that the pictures will accurately guide the judges in making the right decision.

There were some guys who needed a joke or two to get them into the a posing mood, but others needed to be lead move by move in order to have nice pictures done. There were some, who didn’t look as though they have ever done any training, but some had really well trained bodies. What did this mean in numbers? The men present weighted between 130 and 220 pounds. The diverse crowd present proved the authenticity of the test at all levels. Just in five days, 150 contenders were rated, their circumferences were measured and the first pictures were taken.

Everyone was very happy about the supplement package they received at the end of the day. The contents: 100% WHEY PROFESSIONAL PROTEIN, HOT BLOOD, ATTACK!, CREA-BOMB, G-BOMB and MULTI-X.

Many didn’t know about the new products yet, or didn’t even have the possibility earlier to try such good quality products in these quantities. Everyone received identical clothing, including an awesome Hot Blood t-shirt, and a lot of pictures were taken and we didn’t forget about the all important group picture either.

Second round: Judgment day

Every day of this week brought a new surprise. The schedule was the same: weighing, circumference, photos. The contenders were not the same, as the first time. They changed! They were not shy anymore, and the atmosphere was beginning to be like that of competition. The stake was high.

We had one day to make a decision, so we helped everyone to show their best form. It could be seen in the eyes of the contestants that they are determined to get to the next round. It was not a game anymore, they all wanted to be in the top 50. The photos from the first round were paired with those from the second. The decision for qualifying for the next round was made based on the difference between the two.

The jury consisted of five people and the plan was to choose 10 qualifiers a day in average. Every day was extremely hard and it took several hours to come to a decision. The efficiency of the test was also proven by the fact that we could not stay within the 50 finalists limit. We increases the number of finalists to 56, thus another six contestants had the chance to prove themselves. The finalists received another supplement package which included the same supplements as before, plus Scitec Essentials Multi-Enzyme and BCAA Express amino acid formula.

The participants proved their sportsmanship, they all applauded and jubilated upon hearing the list of qualifiers. We could see mothers who were moved by the results and fathers who were as proud as ever upon seeing their sons in the row of finalists. For the new pictures everyone received and wore a JUMBO t-shirt. By the way, the t-shirts were a smash, because of their vivid colour that highlighted everyone’s physique in a positive way; and nobody was lost on the way home :)

The final

The evaluation took two days. We wanted to choose 10 finalists from the 56 participants, but this was not feasible. Upon seeing the amazing results, we decided to change the number of finalists to 16! We realised that in order to get a fair final decision we needed to divide the contestants into two categories: 1. highly sportive category with several years of training in the past and 2, beginners (average physique).

Everyone was really happy about entering the final and it could be seen that all finalists felt that they have already won by having entered the finals, no matter what the outcome. Everyone arrived tanned, with stylish hairdos and with A LOT OF self-confidence. We rewarded this with a SCITEC t-shirt with a gold lettered Japanese inscription. Right away in the morning, the guys had a surprise assignment: they had to choose the finalist of their choice based on the before-and-after pictures.

The finalist chosen by the participants received a large package of SCITEC NUTRITION supplements.

The happiness of the finalists rose when the fitness models arrived. The models received a lot of attention from the boys and the photo shoot went very well right from the start although the girls were already used to the flash of the camera and the guys were not.

At the end we had the honor of announcing the winners and handing over the prizes. The eight weeks of training brought about a great change, not just in their bodyweight, but in muscle tone too. A lot of the contestants didn’t just improve their looks, but also gained a lot of self-consciousness. For many the SCITEC MEGATEST 2008 introduced a lot of change in their lives and the achievements they have reached inspires us to continue the now decade-long tradition.
