National qualification question

[troponin]

Does anyone know the exact qualification requirements for the Master's Nationals?

Are they different than qualifying for other national shows?

 

[mountaindog1]

You'll need an NPC card for $120, and entry is usually $90/ Proof of age needed.
For masters over 50, size didn't matter. Guys with skin hanging off over their bellies with chicken legs, looking like they needed a respirator can buy a slot. Just have a coach to "persuade judges to pick you. I was slated for second, with no coach, they didn't like that.
Save your money for more AAS, the $10 trophy isn't worth it.
Here's my pic, granted my legs could have been more ripped, I was the biggest on stage. Sorry if I offended some judges here ; some contests are too political.

Correct. You have to come in 1,2,3 place to enter masters national, or 4,5 for Masters Jr. See you in South Carolina!

Judging by the fact this post was made by Justin Harris, who is one of the best amateurs to not turn pro (by his own early retirement), I have the feeling he doesn't need your advice on things like trophies and AAS. Did you see his avatar?

"Professional" Muscle at its finest.....

Everyone knows Justin Harris right? Let alone his screen name that doesn't say Justin Harris. Avatars are always the people posting... Always. Not to mention his post count. :/


His post is legit.
Yours is useless.
Mine shouldn't exist.

Well his post seemed a little misguided considering he simply asked qualification requirements and got told to "save his money for AAS".

So even if we delete the whole Justin Harris factor I still think it was pretty uncalled for.


relax there chief

Actually it's $200 for the entry fee at master nationals or North America and no you do not have to qualify. I don't see too many over 50 master national guys with skin hanging over their bellies.....maybe at local and regional shows. You look good for over 50 and yes you need to harden up the legs.

I thought u had to be much older. I would have guessed at least 40+

youre not even on the masters national stage in that photo

oh yes, someone brought up it was a 200$ entry:banghead:

that show brings out some of the finest bad ass mfr's in the sport: that have been toiling away at this game for most of their lives: and certainly do not to deserve be disrespected by people who dont belong on stage next to them


holy shit. fucking baffled

Did they "relax" all the qualification standards? I see now for the junior national shows like jr nationals/usa's you just need to be top 5?????

for nationals and usa's you just need top 3??

I thought for all of those you had to get top 2 in your open class?

That's why I was asking. I had heard age was the only requirement for Master's but I wasn't sure.

Figured this would be a good place to ask.

I don't know about that. Looking at recent years, the Masters has been a pretty competitive show.



It's been a long time since I competed but I have a good training partner (Randy Howard) who's doing the same show so I figured it would be as good of a test as any to see if I can get back in shape.
