I'm curious how many weeks you all think I am from competing. Thanks.

Are you actually going to compete? Or are you just pretending?

i think you're looking pretty damn good. your wheels look awesome...got mine destroyed. (no homo)
i dont think many people would be looking like that at 8-10 weeks out. make sure you keep dieting hard and if its a natural show, I'd say you have a pretty damn good chance.

no earlier than 6 weeks out, 6 weeks out if you are a bit behind but really bust your butt, 8-12 weeks and you should definitely be ready

You look pretty close - maybe a few weeks or so but it all depends on how much water you are holding and how fast you drop fat etc. This is why I like reliable body fat tests like hydro and dexascan - if you know your exact % (and not some BS estimate like calipers etc) then you can determine how much time you need to get to 3 or 4% for the stage. I can drop about 1/4 lb fat a day without losing lean mass but I am 44 so I am assuming you can probably beat that. What show?

You're at peak week for most tested shows in a novice division looking to get experience.
You're at around 10 weeks out for an open competiitor looking for a placement.
....from what I'm observing.

you realize that in the native state the body holds most of the water inside the cell and not outside?
Everyone seems to think they need to drop water when in reality it's just an excuse for not being lean enough.
the thread starter looks good, he could be completely shredded in about 8-10 weeks like Joe said. Maybe sooner if he was really aggressive

Thanks
I appreciate all the responses. The show is in November so I have 3 months. I stay pretty lean all the time, relatively speaking since I do some modeling. I eat enough to continue to get stronger each weak but not enough to gain fat.
PS: I competed once about 3 years ago. Now back from shoulder surgery.
