^^^ bro I am helping a couple guys comp for it at my gym, and to be honest I look better than them myself (doesn't say much about me), but I'm not going to. I just want to watch and learn the ABC's to competing (posing which i definately need to work on, tanning, shaving which is a pain since i have curly hair, all the little things involved).. maybe network a bit and share ideas/strategies. i haven't set a goal, but maybe next year after getting a sense as to what weight class i should try I will do it. if i can have a good year with work and be able to take off time early next year to focus on it 100% then i will do it.
I figure in a year from now if i can drop 2% body fat from where I am now and manage to hold my mass I would be able to do well, not win my weight class, but i would atleast look respectable. and then comp hard going into the contest and really tighten things up. I see myself possibly competing to win in my late 30's, early 40's though so no rush... by then hopefully i will have more disposable income and time to spend
anyway if you see a 5 6 wide shouldered, lebanese dark looking guy there don't be afraid to say hi.
