Could I do decent at a local show? (Be brutally honest)

[EricJ123]

Never considered doing a show but my buddy said I look better than most of the guys that were at a local show last night.
I don't really bodybuild just been lifting consistently for 15+ years (33 now). 5'10 195lbs. I have terrible Pec Genetics and I have wide hips so I've always ruled out a bodybuilding show.

I have no desire to do a gnarly prep or heavy cycle. My priorities in life are my health and hobbies. Currently on a low dose cycle. 125mg Test, 300mg NPP, 300mg Mast. (I'm done with heavy cycles. Too old for that shit and I don't like how I feel on them)

Maybe a 2 week mini cut with some low dose Anavar and low dose tren I could be diced up enough for mens physique? You only live once. Be brutally honest. Would I do okish at a local level show?

I think u could do really well at a local show for sure. Try it.

 

[heavyhitter]

Absolutely man. The pecs and arms could use a little work to match the shoulders which are really good. But you’ll definitely do well in a local shown

 

[Brock456]

Don’t do a show unless YOU want to do a show.

Plenty of guys on here just workout bc they like working out. Don’t give in to the peer pressure of doing a show bc someone thinks you should or it’s the cool thing to do on social media….

Not trying to be a dick.
But to answer your question, yes.

 

[juggy38]

Do it if YOU want to. Chest focus throughout prep.

Local shows….focus on coming in fucking peeled, you’ll do great.

 

[growth]

You will Definitely do good. Go for it. You know where you could use a little work you got it

 

[Hammer4]

I agree with everyone else on this one, bud. You absolutely COULD do well if you chose to do it!

 

[hawkmoon]

If you feel like you want to try, go for it. Learn if you have a taste for competitor not.
Not everyone is Phil Heath, so don't worry abotu being "good enough" in your first show

 

[maza]

yeah i guess you could give competing a shot.

Yes your chest looks weird and you got these overpowering shoulders making your arms looks small

 

[VaginaBoob89]

Depends on the state. Some local shows in places like Texas/California/Oregon are pretty hardcore. You're probably not going to win anything as an open bber, but you will definitely look like you belong on stage for sure. If you do men's physique, yeah you may very well win something because you're definitely big enough and will just need to be peeled.

Keep up the good work and comittment to health, bro.

 

[luki7788]

you should definitely try it - and maybe you will like it and you will have a goal and more motivation to improve weaker points

 

[fisther69]

You look excellent brother!

I have never seen anyone with your pec shape..doesn’t mean it’s bad genetics though..at least the fuckers grow man!

 

[Virtuous]

Your back and front look like two different people, but yeah man you’d belong on stage.

Just focus on bringing your chest up however you can, and you’ll do well.

Why is that?

How much leaner do ya'll think I'd need to get for mens physique?

Cause your back is poppin with muscle, but your chest lacks that pop.

Can I ask what poundage’s you’re using for chest? What do your chest routines look like?

I think maybe there’s a little gyno going on making it look like that. Filling out the outer portion of the chest will help it look more symmetrical

Not a ton

I've been all over the place. I've had a bench as high as 405. Chest was terrible when I benched heavy.

Past few years now I mostly use machines, Cables, and incline DB's Going heavy in the rep range 8-25 mostly in the 12-15 range focusing on going heavy whilst maximizing mechanical tension within the muscle. Its made my chest grow quite a bit but I still have really weird chest insertions. I hit Chest 2x/week.

What you think of a slow loss of 5lbs over 2 weeks while adding a low dose of Var and Tren. Am I close enough?
