I'm determined to do my first BB contest in 2003. I live in New Mexico and can travel to AZ, TX or CA to compete. What do you guys think would be a good show to enter? I'm going to bulk until around March or April and want to compete around June/July. Currently, I'm weighing 220 @ alittle less than 12-15% I'm assuming since the only visible fat I seem to have is on my stomach and my abs are barely visible. I going to bulk up to 240lbs before I start cutting.

Well the contest I'm thinking of right now are:

July 19- Los Angeles Bodybuilding, Figure & Fitness Championships (NQ) in Culver City, CA

and

July 25 & 26-NPC USA Bodybuilding & Fitness Championships
(IFBB Pro Qualifier) in Las Vegas, Nevada

But I don't want to get my ass kicked in a "Pro Qualifer" contest. This is only my first contest and I don't have 21" guns yet. LOL

volumizer two days before contest :D

jump right up into the pro's is going to big a huge learning curve.. i've been looking into the Southern Florida Amateur BB Assoc.. there they only have like five or six guys in each weight class per show and after viewing th epics of the contest they have i could walk up on stage right now and get second pretty easily, but that's were i'm starting out to get very thing in the right direction.. there's a video that i bought not to long ago and it's really good.. it's called "Prefect Pose" really got vid to show people how to stand, turn to look bigger, and right and wrong way to pose.. and after using that vid for awhile i'll get a psoing coach..

Thanks guys, looks like I'm going to Las Vegas then. I'll have to order that perfect pose video and I've already starting reading as much as I can on dieting/lossing water, etc. Maybe I should just do the show Presser is doing so I know I will beat someone. LOL. :D

emailed jeff talyor of the rocky mountain confernce NPC and he advised me to compete in the NPC MidUSA in Albuquerque, NM June 03'. I just want to thank you guys in advance since my success in the show will be greatly due to the knowledge I find on this board and others.

Yeah I'm still going to this contest in March (03/15/03 *World Gym Classic San Diego BB & Fig Jon Lindsay 2554 Lincoln Blvd. PMB 749, Venice, CA 90291)and interviewing the winners on there dieting ideas and also just studing there posing routine w/music. So I'll do some travelling, but at least I won't have to worry about going on a 12hr. road trip to make it to the contest or anything..

Well everyone tells me I'm ripped already I just don't know for sure my bodyfat. I guess I'll go to the PT today and get it tested, to make sure.
