For some shows jr. middle cuts off at 176 1/4 lbs, the MS State Championships is the only one that I know for sure goes to 187. If you're that close though, there no way you won't get to 187. Good luck maing. Have you checked out npcnewsonline.com to see about other shows? I'm not gonna compete next year. I'll be busy becoming a light heavyweight. The year after that, it's on though.
