Plenty of size to compete as a teen. Get hooked up w/ some good prep coaches and work on your posing and you'll look awesome when you are diced. Lot of potential at 17.

Thats about 12-13 weeks away. You could certainly make a go of it and look pretty darn good, but dont expect to come in completely pealed by then.

I would do a show later on in the year, focus on really understanding your body at the moment.

Ya if there's another show in april or may then I'd do both. You could use the show in march as a show to get your feet wet, learn the whole process of prepping for a show along with applying your tan and everything else that goes along with competing. Then when the april/may show rolls around you'll be in much better shape and also know what the whole process is about.

thanks for the input guys i will leave the show in march then, luckily there is one in may so will probably give that one go

Plenty of mass to compete.

Go for it man and dont look back. Ill bet you will do better than you think if you really nail your posing down. Good luck

You could diet down and compete and do fine, but if you keep growing and gain some more size in the next year, you'd still have 2 years to compete as a teen. Try and gain another 5-10 pounds of muscle and then cut up. There's no hurry to compete.

You might want to hit a lot of shows once you do get cut up and then clean house and go collect a bunch of trophies before you turn 20.

You can absolutely do it man. You got the size and given some good conditioning you can knock it out of the park. Most teen bodybuilders don't have a hell of a lot of size as it is so if you can come in with great conditioning you should be able to win your class.

[Withoutreason]

Yes definitely compete, good mass and you have plenty of time to cut

At my comp there was only two people competing in teens lol, still worth doing it even if you're the only one on stage

Redundant by now but go for it. You have a good frame for bodybuilding. Keep up the hard work and it'll pay off.
