Preparing for first show

[ikite103]

Ok Well dumb girl said I wasn't a bodybuilder because I never competed. They are having a small local NABBA show and bench press contest the same day. I want to do both the same day no dehydration or dieting. Not planning to cut an ounce basically want to add weight between now and then especially in legs now training them twice a week. They are small but teardrop and vascularity can be seen. Goal is to not embarrass myself not get last and set a new PB bench same day. Can I realistically do a local level show at this size? Plan is to try and add weight in legs between now and Feb 7 which is only open to local residents. Then make improvements for the April Show as again only locals. Basically time to find out if I am delusional or not.

You know it is funny I posted these months ago and got no feedback none 0. Then I went on AJ thread got in an argument about diet posted pics and everyone had an opinion. Sometimes you need to ruffle a few feathers. Everyone accused me of lying about my stats well they are the exact same here and no one had anything to say.

If you want an accurate assessment of your physique post pictures of yourself doing the mandatory poses. Shots of you doing quarter turns would help also. If you don't know how to do the mandatory poses and quarter turns I suggest you learn them before getting on stage, that knowledge could save you a lot of embarrassment.

Doing both a bodybuilding competition and a benchpress competition on the same day can only mean that you are failing to be 100% prepared for one or the other or (more than likely) both. Why bother getting on stage if you haven't done what is necessary to present the best possible physique you can? Why enter a lifting contest when you haven't taken the needed steps to insure you are ready to lift as much as possible?

I guess my real question is why bother to do something if you are only going to give it a half-assed effort?
