Rocks gonna compete!

Rocco32 · 01-08-2004, 11:40 AM

I've registered for a comp that will be May 1, 2004. I can't believe I did that, I'm so nervous now. But this is what I love to do, so I thought why not? I'll not place 1st, 2nd, 3rd... but at least I'll do something I've always wanted to do. I'd love any help and references anyone can help me with, as well as support. It was P-funk and Iain who helped me make this decision and I'm glad I did.

ponyboy · 01-08-2004, 11:42 AM

Awesome news rock! Just warn your wife to be prepared for the precontest mood swings and crabbiness when you go on a comp diet.

Glad to hear it. Whether you place or not, the journey will get you into the best shape of your life!

Rocco32 · 01-08-2004, 11:45 AM

Thanks PB. I've never even seen a Comp before. I have no idea what to expect!

**calalily1972** · 01-08-2004, 11:49 AM

OMG you surprised me.

Good for you Rock

You really need to go check out a show or 2 before competing.

I'm so proud of you

Rocco32 · 01-08-2004, 11:51 AM

I'm definately gonna try, also pick up some videos of past competitions. Not alot of time though. This will be mostly a good learning experience for me.

**IainDaniel** · 01-08-2004, 12:30 PM

Rock you Rock,

Wow you jumped right into this.

I am still looking for information up here in ontario. There isn't alot that I can find. Though if I do compete it wouldn't be till next year.

Are you ready to kick your own ass.

**IainDaniel** · 01-08-2004, 12:32 PM

Is there weight divisons would you be aiming for LHW

try to get some local novice competition tapes...they will motivate you and prepare you to go on stage NAKED and pose.

Tank316 · 01-08-2004, 01:02 PM

theres no time like the present, go into it with an open mind Rock, its alot of work, and its pretty intense being on stage in posing trunks, but once you get past that, its a whole new world.

J'Bo · 01-08-2004, 01:03 PM

posing trunks? tank did you not hear? the changes to the posing attire? nudy is it for this year...socks are optional

don't just try, you have to go see at least one show to understand how things are done...very critical IMO.

J'Bo · 01-08-2004, 01:17 PM

tank...well i did it already...in a nightmare the other day

Yeah I'm ready to kick my own ass!!!

I know I jumped in, but I figured why wait. Best to get the first show over with and overcome my fear of it you know. To much can happen between now and next year. I guess I'll be in heavyweight I think. But I'll be the low end of that

J'Bo · 01-08-2004, 02:48 PM

you wont be in heavy weight dear

how much do you weigh and what is your bf%?

Rocco32 · 01-08-2004, 02:53 PM

Right now I'm 205 at about 17% BF

Rocco32 · 01-08-2004, 02:54 PM

Anything over 180 they say is Heavyweight.

J'Bo · 01-08-2004, 02:57 PM

well if you are 18% hun you will be well under 180 when you cut.

**Prince** · 01-08-2004, 02:58 PM

you will be a middle weight most likey (might end up at the bottom of light-heavys, you would be better off at the top of middle weights though - 176 is the cut-off) you need to lose around 26lbs if your bf% is accurate, plus some water.
