Who's competing this year?

**sdupdike** · 02-23-2005, 02:56 PM

I'm pretty new here. I plan on competing in a figure competition either in July or August. I have some questions for everyone, just so we can see where everyone is and who's doing what.

Who plans to compete this year? Have you competed before, or is this your first (like me)? What are you doing now to prepare? How far out will you start your real competition diet? How will you mentally prepare yourself?

*Raises hand*

First bodybuilding show, on my pre-contest diet now for a show the end of April. Mentally preparing? Nope. Going nuts!

**sdupdike** · 02-23-2005, 03:39 PM

Cool. I'm trying to mentally prepare a little now by cleaning up my diet a little more. Learning how to resist the temptations that seems to always be right in front of my face. My husband and daughter turn their noses up at almost anything healthy I cook, they much prefer fast food and other junk. It's hard when that stuff in under your nose, in your house, all the time.

Who else?

**JLB001** · 02-23-2005, 04:03 PM

Me..................I've got three planned this summer.

If you have any question let me know.

psst....I make suits too.

**P-funk** · 02-23-2005, 06:58 PM

me

**GoalGetter** · 02-23-2005, 07:17 PM

me.

**sdupdike** · 02-24-2005, 07:10 AM

JLB, couple of questions for you. Do you compete in Figure? Also, I looked at the pictures in your gallery. It looks like you may have some stretch marks on your lower abs (forgive me if I'm wrong). I have some from pregnancy, and the skin there is, well, stretched. Do you think that will hurt me in competition? It's not that noticeable when I'm standing straight up. You may see the stretch marks, but you can't really tell how stretched out the skin is unless I bend way over. Then you can tell.

Also, do you have a website or anything for your suits?

**sdupdike** · 02-24-2005, 07:11 AM

GoalGetter, is this your first competition? What will you be competing in?

**dakota** · 02-24-2005, 07:58 AM

awesome.

I honestly would love to. but my biggest problem is that i don't have the whole "dieting" thing down, so to speak. I gotta start readin' up!

NPC is open, right? in other words, not-natural?

Cuz shit, a dude from my gym competes in NPC and he has like the best physique i've ever seen in person...

**P-funk** · 02-24-2005, 09:09 AM

yeah, NPC is anything goes......drugs, diuretics, Gh, whatever!!

**ponyboy** · 02-24-2005, 09:11 AM

I'm doing two marathons and an Olympic and 1/2 Ironman distance triathlons. Does that count?

**BritChick** · 02-24-2005, 09:12 AM

I'll probably be competing again in August.

**sdupdike** · 02-24-2005, 03:06 PM

GoalGetter, I don't think you have any reason to be scared. You look really great in your pictures. And I've read some of your posts. You seem to be really dedicated. I'm sure you'll do great. When is the competition your planning to do?

**Journey** · 02-24-2005, 07:02 PM

Hi there! i'm from Alabama too! It's cool to see someone else interested in figure from Alabama! I'm hoping to compete in the next year or 2. Are you doing a comp. locally? If so, let me know! I would love to attend!

**JLB001** · 02-24-2005, 07:08 PM

By the way J, I'll be hitting you up for attire when I'm ready!

**JLB001** · 02-24-2005, 07:32 PM

Just let me know.

**sdupdike** · 02-25-2005, 08:26 AM

Journey, I'm doing a local competition. Either an NPC comp in Mobile July 2, or the Heart of Dixie August 27. I guess if I can be ready for the July comp, I may still do the other one too. Not sure yet. I think there is one other comp around the same time as these, but haven't heard specifics yet, The Alabama Championships, or something like that.
