Competition bodybuilders: how many crossovers divisions do you do?

[Love_to_Bodybuild]

Ive competed in two so far

the question always comes up,

Think first show had to do novice since i was new

last show just did Mens Open

what do you do? do you think its wise to crossover in as many divisions as possible or more than one, two etc?

I just stick to men's open, I can also do masters now but I chose not to. If you got extra money to burn, then go for it I suppose, that's how I look at it.

If you've never done an npc show before do you have to do novice the first time or can you go straight into mens open?

you can go straight to open if you'd like. in my 1st NPC show I crossed over LHW novice and open and won both. don't know the rules now but I think once you win novice you have to compete in open only.

yup fifty extra dollars a division and a lot more posing work during the day.

I love competing my budget is only so much though-last show spent for traveling fees, hotel, npc card, divison stuff, late fees for entering late, pictures bought. 800$

I know I know, get a sponsor that pays for it, easier said than done
