height and weight class

[teedubgee]

What do you think is the minimum weight class to compete in at 5'8". I think I need about 10-15lbs of muscle to look good for my height. I don't want to step on stage looking like Michael Phelps as a lightweight.

well Branch Warren is 5'8"...haha. At 5'8" Heavy weight would be big. Really would just depend on how your body semmerty is.

You could be a lightheavy, hell even Vinni Gailanti won the USA as a middleweight and he is 5-8 or so...He looked good, but just a tad thin at that weight...As a lightheavy he looked much fuller and thicker...

As for you though, I would bet you could compete right now...but I would need to see some pics of the compusary poses
