i want to enter a competition

[barbell boy]

Hey there everyone, i am only young, 16, and i have been bodybuilding and working out for a few years now. I have a good physique, good symmetry and good definition. I was interested in maybe participating in a bodybuilding competition for teenagers is there anyone out there who could give me an
idea of what i have to do, like will i have to shave my legs, get a tan and all that. also if anyone has any photos of teenage bodybuilders who have won some comps so i can get an idea of what i would be up against - cos i am having trouble finding some.

Thanks

just shave your toro so that you can see yourself when you pose.

for a contest you will have to shave everywhere.

I don't like hair anywhere but people would call me gay if I shaved everywhere lol

What kind of shape are you in now???
Height
weight
body fat %

 

[barbell boy]

I am 175 cm, and around 70kgs, i know i could stand to be a little heavier but i have good figure, so dont think im scrawny, lol. i don't know my body fat percentage, how do i find it

 

[barbell boy]

one more thing, would it be more ideal for me to do high weights, low reps or low weight high reps. Because i would like to get bigger, but is it more about the tone and definition?

Theres nothing set in stone that you must do. Some people's bodies react differently with different things. Definition has more to do with diet and cardio then anything, more diet however! Keep your muscles guessing and keep switching up your programs and rep ranges.
