Bodybuilding?

That was my guess. I'm making the transition from powerlifting to bodybuilding. They definately have their differences and I wanted to meet those from Elite that have the experience to answer the future questions that I'm sure I will have.

Also, what is your general off season and competition bodyweights? And your height?

 

[gilly6993]

5'9" 220 about 8-10%.....will get to 230 at same bf and step on stage at around 205-210......

6' 220 here at about 12% bodyfat. I'd like to bulk until next summer and prepare for my first competition then.

I'd like to hear from others.

I've done a number of shows and am preparing for the Nationals next year. I'm going to do another Regional show first. I've placed first at all of my shows, except the last one where I peaked a week early and came in way too lean. (Finished second by one point). I want to avenge that loss in April of 04. I am currently 5'11" and weigh 252lbs. I will probably get as high as 275-280 and then trim down for the show. I won't come in too lean this time...I will be as big as a house!!!!

Good luck in your upcoming shows. I'll be making a huge effort to make my first show next summer.

I will prepare for about the next year or so and then compete. I have had the idea in me head for a long time now and everytime i go to a show I'm like - "those guys don't look THAT good. I could do that if I dieted etc etc" So at some point it's time to back it up and get the balls to step on stage!
Now 6'1'' 200lb and 7-8% fat (half-ass diet and little to no cardio). I have been off for a while (3 months!) and I'm getting ready to go back on. I think I'd have to compete at 198 and under (LH) but my hieght may make me look to long beside the guy who is 5'6'' and my same weight. We'll see how it all pans out.

I know what you mean about height. I guess I'll just have to pack on some more muscle to fit in.
