When my lifts increase and I feel confident enough to compete in a powerlifting competition, I will do it. I am shooting for within a year to a year and a half. I will be 49 this July; I would like to have at least one competition to my name by age 50. :bigthumbu

That would be cool. It would be pretty amazing to do at 50!

I used to want to be on stage for my figure... but now i just want to lift heavy. I am training with two guys right now in prep for Collegiat Nationals in March. I hope to join them next year.

Crobar · 03-13-2006, 09:06 PM

I've been wanting to do it for fun. Lets see how things pan out this time around. It's always been one thing or another with me and cutting. But no longer a teen so its a new ball game.

stonecoldtruth · 03-13-2006, 09:39 PM

I have aspirations of competing, but I'm not sure in what field...

pl or bb, but I know it'll be one. However, I have a few years of work ahead of me for either one, and probably just local level, hehe.

I plan on getting on stage again in 07!!!! I tell you what....you are so out of your head on contest day you have to have people remind you of whatyou did

sword- · 03-29-2006, 10:55 AM

I might do a natural competition (OCB League I believe) in late october if I can pack on 10-15 lbs of lean mass between now and fall. I'm an ecto-meso so cutting should be easy.

Good Luck with that.

That's amazing, are you taking any cutting supps?

For the first 6-8 weeks I was taking some stuff from Serious Nutrition Solutions.

Synephrine
Inhibit-E
Reduce-XT

Good stuff, great company. If anyone's interested I'll update you with how the contest goes.

Oldrookie · 04-14-2006, 07:44 AM

This is my first time on this forum. I do plan to compete in a contest in about a year. I would like to do a small natural contest.

current measurements
5'10" 208lbs
Chest 46 3/4
Arms 17
Calves 17 1/4
Thighs 28
Waist 36" About 18% bodyfat, so I would probably compete at about 175-180. (Remember this is for a natural show).

dukebrown · 04-14-2006, 08:15 AM

I will in about 2-3 years when I can step on stage at 240

**skelooth** · 04-15-2006, 11:14 PM

I can't believe I missed this topic

I want to compete some day down the road. I can't really tell you why I want to, there is a million reasons. Do I think I could be successful and bring home trophies one day? I honestly have no idea. Even when I get my bodyfat% under control I have some issues with symmetry. Only time is going to tell. I suppose there are a few major reasons why I want to compete. One is that I am an attention whore lol. A huge one is that I see it as the ultimate challenge... something that the majority of people just would not be able to do. To walk into a competition ready to win takes huge amounts of dedication and sacrifice. Dedication and sacrifice that the common person would never want to give. Another big reason is that I know if I can go from a fat slob of a pot head to competing on stage in posing trunks: I can do anything. Because man, that would be a hell of a turn around. Not to mention the cool bragging rights.....

Right now I am telling myself that if I can cut down to a low BF% this summer and maintain it then maybe I can compete in summer '07... but even if I can't or don't, I'll keep it as a goal. If not '07, then maybe '08.
