Honestly man you need a lot more time. You should wait on your competition and focus on getting bigger IMO. If you're coach is going to let you step on stage you need a new coach. DM me if you have more questions I run a contest prep/nutrition consultation company.

This. You don't have the mass needed to compete. You're young, and have a lot of time. I would take a couple years and bulk slowly. Whatever you do, do not bulk fast, you'll ruin your waistline.

Definitely good advice and by no means any offence at all. At your age, I'd say continue to add muscle to your frame rather than trying to do the necessary cutting for a show. Now's not the time. Use this time to build on what you have. Calorie surplus at this point to add on the mass. Then when you''ve built a good amount of muscle on you, consider competing at that time.

Your not ready bro.. you need to bulk up and gain some size first.

You are young.. you got tons and tons of time.

tbh you need to put on a lot more size. when i was 18 i thought i was ready, but definitely wasnt. I stepped on stage at 6'1" 175 and 9%. Got smoked even in the teen division. Just stay focused for a few more years, and your time will come. Dont be to ambitious for those gains though, or injuries may happen.

What did you decide to do?

At your age proper nutrition, training, and rest will be you assets.
