How do you know if you hold enough mass to compete.

[Hugheser]

I am looking to enter my first show in 2010 and have been working out for 2.5 years and about the last year seriously with the emphasis on competing. Want to jump in with both feet. I don't know if I have enough mass. I have been cutting for 2 weeks. Completely clean.

This is my bodyspace and my question is if I come in, in shape will I be competitive or just look pathetic?

Thanks guys and gals.

I never looked at your bodyspace , but going off of the question in this header I will say that I think it's a personal choice . There is a reason they have different weight classes. I think if you think your ready just do it , but remember there is more to a show than just being big , you have to know how to show it off properly.

I say giver dude. Upper looks great for 2.5 years and being natty.

How are the wheels?

you'll want to be careful with dieting natty due to easy ability for muscle loss. I won't give diet advice because it's a subjective thing and you didn't ask for it but I definitely say pursue competing now if you are looking to hit a natural show. Hell, even a non-tested show you could potentially do well at if you nail conditioning and hold onto the muscle.

Are you a junior?

I say do it man, it looks like you have a solid build...... natural competing is always tougher of course but you def look good for natural.... good luck

My wheels aren't up to par with the upper body. I have a hard time getting a feel in the quads. I mainly was a runner for the first two years, did two marathons. Put that on the back burner to more weight orientated. The legs are pretty conditioned and I don't think would take much time to come in shape. There 26.5 inchs right now but are larger now I imagine.

can you post pics of the wheels? 26.5 for a natty is quite good I think. I know guys who've been on the sauce for 10 years who barely break 26 LOL

Either way, like I said I think you should do it. Get your diet sorted out and really recommend you hire someone and esp. cause you are natty - you really need to do EVERYTHING perfectly do come in conditioned AND keep as much muscle as possible. Competing isn't easy but doing so naturally is especially not easy.

not sure what it is out there but I believe it;'s standard across all provinces and 21 is the cut off for CBBF federations. Unsure what natty federations are.

Legs aren't bad. Not as good as your upper but you already knew that but still pretty good for a natural competitor.

You seem tall'ish?
