Bodyfat and weight to be a serious contender at a teen show.

Giftee · 03-17-2009, 05:55 PM

I'm cutting in two weeks to enter a show in the summer, but I really dont know how its gonna come out.

Currently 204 at I'm guessing 16% as I can see my top 4 abs, I want to lose 20-30lbs but I'm still not sure its going to be ripped enough.

I've seen good naturals in there 30s who compete at around 180, theres no way I could have developed enough muscle at my age to do that with a low bf atleast.

I want to do it but do I have the balls......I thought I did.

Competing at such a small size with a 3 minute posing routine....alot of people talk the talk but most never actually compete as a teen and I dont blame them.

Could you do it unless you were entirely happy with your physique?

Props to anyone that does.

Well, you should maybe give it a shot or something, but I personally wouldn't do it if I weren't in the best shape I could be. Like, if I could have been leaner, I would have been.

You're a teen. I don't think size really matters as much as conditioning and symmetry, though of course you do need to actually look like you work out.

Most teen competitors are a joke, just bodybuilders with like 5%BF and barely any muscle. I would never even think of stepping onstage at anything less than 220lbs, and I'd have to be under 8%.

Yes, that kind of size definitely happens all the time with teenagers.

Thats exactly what everyone keeps telling me, but then they're not doing the show.

Could you step on a stage in front of 500-1000 people at 175-180, takes some balls me thinks.

Personally I think I look the **** at the mo, my front Lat Spread is ridiculous, but if I lose to much cutting its gonna look dik.

Do that many people even go to teen shows?

And I'll probably be stepping on stage later this year at like 160-170, so why not.

Its not a teen show, its got a teen category.

I went to it last year, was hectic.

Ernie Taylors judging.

I meant I would never step on stage smaller than that, because I don't plan on ever competing as a teen.

Wintermule · 03-17-2009, 06:12 PM

Wait, are you tallguy brah?

Anyway, if you're not confident, try out some smaller shows.
