Interested to know how long it took some of you guys to build a high caliber physique.
it took me 4 years to qualify for nationals
probably more than most, but i dnt care, im proud. i started as a total shrimp lol
No offense man but qualifying for nationals and having a national level physiqe are two completely different things...

You will know early on wether you have it or not, at lest for most people in my opinion. Won my weight class the first two times i competed without any guidence, unenhanced at my first show. Qualified my first year doing an open show. Waited two years before i hit the USA's where i took second. After that i knew i have real potential to earn that Pro. card.

All of that considered, I'd say that after your very first show, and you are bittten by that bodybuilding stage bug, anywhere from 5-7 years before you are truly National level material.
and in early 2012 I qualified for Jr's..
5-7 yrs???
I think this is a ridiculous statement.
there are so many variables and most people can never build it no matter what, and some do it in one.
saying 5-7 years makes it trivial and that anyone can do it.
putting in time does not necessarily make you a good competitor. One that is respected, yes, but good, national level good, NO
also how do you qualify for JR's?
there are national qualifying shows in the npc,
not jr national qualifiers.
Jr nationals and jr usa count as nationals level shows so if you get qualified you can do those
I qualified several times, several class wins in pretty quality NQ'er shows...and not till just last year did I make the step to the national stage. If I am gonna do it, my mind has to know I will at least do somewhat battle up there. Still working at it....The USA's this year will be a huge step, this shit never gets easier lol
i didnt say i have one,
I thought thats what the OP was asking. how long it took to qualify or build a "high caliber physique" I was just giving my .02
but thanks for the backhanded remark
