Halloween Costume Contest Giveaway 2015

I've done this type of Halloween Costume Contest Giveaway with my other YouTube channel for several years now and thought, why not have one for my GetFitOver40 Fitness channel?

So here we go with the first annual Halloween Costume Contest Giveaway!

What are the rules? 

• First and foremost make sure to have fun!
• Try and make it have something to do with fitness or exposing a little bit of that body to show off all your hard work in the gym. But really any costume will do :)
• You must be a Subscriber to my GetFitOver40 YouTube channel.
• Make sure to like and favorite my Halloween Costume Contest Giveaway 2015 YouTube video.
• Comment to my Halloween Costume Contest Giveaway 2015 YouTube video with a link to your YouTube Costume entry video.
• Upload and share your Halloween Costume video response before midnight November 10th.

What is the big prize!

The winner will get a pair of Kinivo BTH240 BT Headphones. Anyone can enter a video but I can only award a prize to people in Canada and the US for shipping reasons. Everyone can take part so even if you are outside of Canada or the US please take part, if you have the best Halloween Costume, you will get recognized for it.

I will be creating a Halloween Costume Contest Giveaway 2015 playlist where I will be adding in all the entries so make sure to watch those videos and support everyone else who enters.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's Halloween Costumes!

Mark Macqueen's Bench-off Challenge - Giveaway Attempt

OK, so here is Mark Macqueen's official release video for the Americas Versus UK - Old Man Versus Young Man Bench-Off Challenge - Giveaway.

I have to say Mark performed very well especially since he had to lift a fair bit more weight than me (233 versus my 192 pounds) due to his heavier body weight. But fair is fair and I am a little bit older than him...

So far it looks like the Americas is in the lead by one with my 18 reps versus Mark's 16 reps, so lets all get involved and support our continents!

Checkout Mark's video where I think he has a much more simplified description of how this Contest - Challenge - Giveaway rolls out.

And again, thanks to Mark for getting the ball rolling on this one!

Americas Versus UK - Old Man Versus Young Man Bench-Off Contest

I am announcing a Contest - Giveaway that will focus around the bench press. I was approached by Mark Macqueen (From Scotland) who runs a UK based Power Lifting YouTube Channel to have a friendly Body Weight Bench Press contest to see who can get the most reps. A lot is on the line here since I represent not on Canada but also the over 40'ers, I am actually 26 years older than Mark but I will not use that as an excuse, I do have the advantage of being a fair bit lighter than him so he will have to work with a much heavier weight than I :)

Mark and I are not part of the actual giveaway, but we will be doing a friendly head-to-head body weight Bench-off to see who prevails?

So common and get involved and see if you can beat us!

Contest Rules: 

• Body Weight Bench Press / as many reps as you can. (Women do 3/4 body weight)
• Touch chest at bottom, full lockout at the top.
• But touching bench, feet touching floor.
• Belts, wraps and chalk are OK.
• Must have both our names in the title (Mark Macqueen & GetFitOver40) and link to our channels in the description of your video entry.
• Comment in both of our contest announcement videos with a link to your entry video to make sure we see your entry.
• Mark and I will judge the videos to decide who the winners are.

Giveaway Prizes: 

• Americas winner will get a pair of Kinivo BTH240 Bluetooth Headphones from me.
• UK winner prize will be a 20 pound "Myprotein" gift voucher from Mark.

Contest Entry End Date is June 19th 2014 at Midnight.

Good Luck to everyone!

LTRob It's My Midlife Crisis - QUEST4FIT - Give Away Challenge - Pushups - Pull-ups - 400 Meeter Run

A while back I did a joint interview with LTRob from "It's My Midlife Crisis", well he is sponsoring a Give Away Challenge to win some free stuff over on his YouTube Channel along with another joint sponsor Craig Neiderheiser from QUEST4FIT.

Anyways the challenge goes as follows... 

• Run around a 400 meter track and try and get your fastest time.
• Do as many "strict" Pushup as you can.
• Do as many "strict" Pull-ups as you can.
• Now take your 400 meter track time and subtract your total Pushups and Pull-ups from your track time.
• Girls get to double their Pushups and Pull-ups to make it a more even playing field.
• Old dudes should also get a handicap but no can do :(

So I took part in this Give Away Challenge sponsored by LTRob and Craig Neiderheiser and gave it my best in support of all participants so make sure to checkout the Original YouTube Video Challenge and watch the other video entries posted in the comments section.

Along the way I tore both calf muscles which clarified beyond the shadow of a doubt that running is not for me anymore :)

Enjoy my Entry...
