I convinced my good friend to pose for this shot. Apologies to John Long who ribboned with his excellent entry for Defining Features.
Postprocessing included Rotation, crop, resize, B&W Conversion, levels, cloning to clear up some miscellaneous details in the background, burning and dodging to even out the flesh tones, and border.

I think this image is seriously underrated. Great image, and a excellent parody that made me laugh so bad during the challenge. I almost thought it was smokeditor who took it. Well done!!
Thanks for your votes, everyone. I rushed this one and didn't get it the way I would have liked, plus my friend didn't want me to take more than a few tries. But I don't mind the low score, it was all in good fun haha.
My only 10 for this challenge, and on of the few funny photos for me on this challenge... As in when I saw it I laughed out loud. A bit of an in DPC joke really.. The photo itself looks a little underexposed, and the skin texture looks a little 'edited' or it was a low-res camera? Either way, dosn't matter... Well done.
Nice idea doing a parody on '5AM 500 crunches'. I don't know who took that shot, but I guess he/she'll have a good laugh, too.
You might have added some sugar or pudding stains onto the body, to get the parallelism with that other picture - which had water drops - even better and make the shot even more ridicoulous.
Well you know what they say "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery"
This made me laugh out loud when I saw it, good job, but where are the water drops? :)
10 from me!!!
