Competition Info
As I've been working out and working on dieting... I've become interested in competing... maybe just to do it once, to experience what it takes...
I know nothing about different contests and what not... basically... I'm 25 years old, 5'11" and about 175lbs right now... I've begun to realise I have alot more weight to lose than I thought... to be truly lean... What I'm looking for is a goal to shoot for... I want to make it clear, I'm not so concerned about winning a competition as just being prepared and not embarrassing myself... Are there different weight classes? If so what are they? If you were my weight/height and experience, what type of competition would you chose as your first? I would like to accomplish this in about a year. Thanks for any info provided...
Are you kidding me????

a local NPC show, enter the Novice class, make sure you go to at least one show as a spectator before you compete, if you're 175 right now at 5' 11" you're going to have to compete as a lightweight, no offense but you're going to be a small lightweight at that height.

this will help:
http://www.npcmilesproductions.com/B...ldingrules.pdf you may be able to go in as a middleweight, but you will be a "light" middleweight, depends how much fat you have to lose right now. BOARD SPONSORS:

impossible to judge without at least seeing your pics, but at 5' 11" you really should be a light-heavyweight, around 180+lbs ripped.

he looks good, although we cannot see his legs!
 I can tell from that pic he has a very small build, look at his waist and wrists, small bones, which gives him the illusion of looking heavier. (perfect for bodybuilding) post some pics and I will assess you if you want. BOARD SPONSORS:

Prince look at my gallery, I uploaded some new pics... you can see, I'm not very lean AT ALL! I know that I can cut and lose quite a bit of fat... I have no idea what weight that will leave me at... but I think I would need to get to about 180-185 at least and very lean to look decent... I'm the most embarrassed about my chest... it has been lagging behind, but it's been completely my fault... I really neglected it in the last 6 months of working out... I was so concerned with biceps, triceps and back, that I really shot myself in the foot... I'm hoping within the next 6 months to balance my chest out with the rest of my body and get leaner in my love handle, stomach area...
Anyway, thx for your time Prince or whoever else wants to tell me I'm f'n fat....

I looked, you really need to concentrate on putting on some mass, a good 20lbs minimum before you think about competing. That is my opinion.

I definitely agree... I'm going to work hard and see what develops over the year... I'm just uncertain about how much extra food I need to be eating to put on some quality lean mass...
I was reading a bit... and even if I wanted to compete at 180lbs... I would be sitting at around 190-195 normal weight... which is easily 20lb from where i am now....

170?? I though in one of your pics in the gallery you said you were around 195lbs and you looked really lean. I would have though more like 180-185lbs, no?

Thanks, but no.
I am 185lbs right now, I guess I am fairly lean, but to be ripped I think I am looking at 170lbs. BOARD SPONSORS:

170 after or before you drop water? because if you drop water and weigh 170 you wil end up hitting the satgge closer to 180.

P-funk don't under estimate how I will look at 170lbs.
I am short and have a small bone structure. BOARD SPONSORS:
