Awesome!
If I had a trophy like on of those, I would weld it to the hood of my truck for a huge over-the-top hood ornament!

Enter the IMPC this year.

We're going to be awarding trophies just like those!

Ok, EME, I get what you're saying now. You think to yourself, "I look great!", only to have someone else glance at you and say "rear delts are weak" or "tris are lagging"... it can be tough mentally. Like I said, I have a ton of respect for those who compete, but it's just not in the cards for me at the moment

The IMPC will be huge this year. Really everyone should consider it! If it was open to mods you best believe I would be in it!

How come mods cannot participate anyways?

To maintain the fairness and integrity of the competition, those associated with putting on the competition will not also be allowed to compete in it.

We don't want a situation where someone feels a moderator, admin, or owner of the site was unfairly placed ahead of another competitor because of their association with the judges or other IronMass staff.

I want to but i am nowhere good enough... my chest is a disaster and my lower abs have a load of loose skin, its been 3+ years but i dont think its going to go.

Plus sub 10% i look like a zombie :weird:

**skelooth** · 02-03-2006, 10:50 PM

Over 50% of those who voted would like to compete one day :bigthumbu I think that's kind of cool.

We really are "the few and the proud". I'd wager most guys never even CONSIDER it in their entire life times.

I'd be ecstatic to rank second to last in a bodybuilding competiton lol.

I hope to compete in 8-12 years when I'm done with college or maybe even during college I'll compete. I might even compete in the IMPC this year.

After Kendra did the NPC Nationals she told me that deep down inside, her goal was just not to finish last.... ( Not only did she not finish last.. she got all 1st place votes in both Physique Rounds and won her Pro Card )

She felt the same way going into her first Pro Show.

I know exactly what you mean Skel. When you come from beginnings that are sooooo far from being a bodybuilder ( like I did also ), the thought of just actually beating anyone in a bodybuilding show is incredible.

I'm sure I'll feel that way when I step onstage for my first Pro show. Deep down inside, if I beat ANY other Pro my first time out, I'll probably be ecstatic!

It's not like you are walking around on the beach in your posing trunks. I would never wear a speedo or posing trunks for a day at the beach.

This is the part I'd have no problem with. The part I'd have a problem with is getting fat for the bulk. Heck, if I was that lean I'd wear a speedo everywhere!

There is no reason you have to get fat bro....

You can gain as slowly as you want to until you are ready.

Not fat. Just even about like 13%.... I'm still weirded out looking at fat on my body as I feel I will just morph back into my old self, where I was constantly unhappy with my body... it's a personal barrier I've been trying to break, and hopefully have.
