Want to start competing in shows

[Tommy5144]

Hey everybody.

I really want to start getting into competing in shows. Specifically natural shows at the amateur level. I live in Maryland and was wondering what weight are average novice competitors? I know there are categories, but I dont know what the weight classes are. Also does anybody know of any shows in Maryland? thanks in advance.

It depends on which organization you compete with. Usually they'll have lightweights (150-ish), middle weights (170-ish), light heavy (190-ish), and heavy weight (over 199). In most natural orgs they'll do weight classes in the novice division and height classes in the open.
