If you have to wait til you're ready...you're never going to be ready.
Not competing because you think you won't win the overall is absolutely ridiculous. The smallest weight classes aren't going to win the overall at a decent show...so just put that out of your mind if you fall into that category and either try to win your class or get bigger. You need to pretty much be at least a middleweight to have a shot at an overall.
Honestly, I always really disliked the guys who would talk about how they don't or won't compete because they are not big enough....mostly because the majority who said so had no chance and no fortitude to personify their yapping. They just wanted something to talk about and were making an excuse usually. Now anyone who says they need more size and is serious about it....I can appreciate-so long as they are getting after their goals and not harping on about it.
