    Bodybuilding or Physique. What am I built best for?

    I have been training 14 months now. Just finishing up my first cut, 10 weeks. Then back to bulking. I have decided to compete in July 2014.

    I have a rather big waist unfortunately. 33" right now. I wa wanting to do physique but am afraid I am too wide for it. Thoughts? Thanks guys!






    BTK. A different breed entirely.

    You definitely have potential to compete in bodybuilding. I would take this time to put mass on especially on the chest which I see as lacking. A lat and back picture would help as well.

    33 inches is a "wide" waist!?!?! What??????

    You've got some good wheels, so you'd do fine in bodybuilding. Do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.

    Seems like you could do well in either but are closer to bbing. You'd need to cut down a bit for physique, or bulk up a bit for bbing. Either way you go I see potential in both, but you're right there's always a concern of "too much muscle" in physique.

    Was thinking the same thing lol, a 33" waist is solid.

    You could definitely pull off both classes, I had the same issue when I first thought about competing. I ended up doing MP because it is a good way to get your foot in the door and get some experience with stage presence, peak week/dieting, etc..

    Definitely bodybuilding. Your waist seems a little too large for physique. Gain some mass and go kick some ass.

    Bodybuilding for sure. A lot of guys who go physique is because there legs are lagging behind a bit which would be covered with board shorts.. You got some good wheels. I'm trying to decide myself at the moment but my legs are not even close to your size...YET. Great job man.
