national qualifier

[cbeaks]

Hey fellow competitors, I have a national qualifier coming up in about 6 weeks. I wasn't planning on doing this show but it is a week before my other show I was training for and it is in the area also so I figured what the hell. This will be my first national qualifier and I am not expecting to do tremendous due to the fact that this will be my first contest as an open competitor and I could use some more size. I am 5'10'' and at the rate I am going now I will probably compete somewhere around 200-205 pounds which would put me in the heavyweight class (198-225 pounds). Do you think I would be better off losing a few more pounds and try to be the heaviest light heavyweight or should I just not worry about it? - cbeaks

Hey bro, personally I wouldn't worry about the weight and just strive for looking your best. Sometimes the lighter weights take the whole show b/c the heavy weights are just fat! I'm not the best person to ask though b/c I'm still novice myself.

On another topic...If your interested, email me some of your contest pics so I can post them on my new web site www.beefma.com. I'm trying to make a web site to showcase non-pro bodybuilders. Also, it's free.
Thanks!

that's what I was thinking too BeeFma. I won my last show and I was one of the lightest heavy weights but I had striated glutes and my conditioning won it for me. I'll see what I can do about getting you some pictures from my next show. thanks man. - cbeaks

Bro, you might as well give it a shot to get down there. Your only projecting to be 200-205. All you have to break is 198 1/4. Thats only a few pounds, which would be all water anyway. Also let it be known that bodybuilding scales, unless digital, are notoroiusly light. It's up to you but I would do it. Your close enough to be able to pull it off.

You should ask Quadsweep, he is a national level competitor & could probably offer some pretty sound advice.
