It's always good to compete, to get the experience to learn about what could go wrong, but I'm going to be honest here, it looks like you don't have enough training under your belt, your body is not ready yet, if you look at your rear delts, tri's, mid and lower back really need work, it's not something that can't be fixed within 6 months or so but you will need to eat a lot more, and it looks like you don't do that enough, just good clean food, chickenbreast, turkey, fish, steak, rice, pasta, all of that. finish the day off with a good protein shake
And if you really want to get fired up and bring some quality muscle to the stage, take a MaltoDextrine shake right after workout, it's a fast form of carbs, and it's very cheap

thanks man. yeah im acually like 145 now ive been eating more and training heavier. im acually working at lifetime fitness. i manage the cafe there.....so i get free shakes n shit. thanks for the advice.

I compete in the teenage category, and I'd say you look better than a lot of the other guys I've seen...

I'm 6' and did my first show ever at 160. At our size, come in ripped or don't come in at all, because it's all you've got.

Talk to Jaim. She just competed in a contest. I say go for it. Its always good to try something new. You will learn something. Read the stickies in the diet section and come up with a diet. Post it and let us critique it.
