    Masters............maybe. But you still look a lack some size to be a upper line competitor. It's not just about being lean.

    Thanks Ninerbuff. I don't disagree. I'd have to bulk and focus on mass in a way I haven't in the past.

    You don't have enough mass yet.

    Why would you compare him to Ifbb pro’s
    Who are running everything from AAS to growth, slin etc

    Surly better to show natural competitors ?

    Many "natural" competitors are just guys who stopped using gear and couldn't compete with the big boys. But to humor you: NPC drug tested show

    Honestly, my mind is thinking of a smallish competition, amateur level, as an entry point. Even then I'd expect to be the overmatched new guy, but I have to think there is always the overmatched new guy at any given amateur competition. Thank you all for your responses.

    Physique is a mixed bag....unlike classic, there are generally no weight cut points & emphasis is on hardness/conditioning & "show" muscles (abs, arms, chest - torso genetics/good pair of abs = must for success). Little-to no posing skills required, but angling and presentation still necessary (just not the same scrutiny on working out the best ways to pose for your body for mandatory shots). I think you'd do fine

    It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. You have amazing definition and have obviously worked hard for it. If you want to do it, go for it! Contact a physique coach and make a plan

    You gotta start somewhere. What's great about competing is you get to see yourself how much discipline it takes to just get to the show. Some diet and train for 16 weeks prep time to be on stage for a few minutes. And many times it disrupts your own personal life (due to how you have to eat and all the temptations around you). But if you want to do it....................do it.
