Want to compete in NPC Mens Physique

[Calpoly]

Yes i know laugh at the guy who wants to compete in physique, ill take it. lol Anways, I dont have much knowledge in competing, but I know I want to eventually start competing in the NPC mens physique (i like the aesthetic look). Can you guy give me any advice? Should i start right in the NPC with no experience, or should I do local level shows? Im currently 21, and I feel like i need to take 2 years to gain some more mass to even be qualified. I'm currently 5'8'' 175 @7.91%. I would like to be at least 185-190 @5% on stage.

help? I'm not sure where to start

Must be nice working out in that gym I paid for.

Well, at 5'8" and 185 @ 5%, that would make for a gret BBing physique depending on your genetic structure. Nothing wrong with MPD, some of those dudes look damn good. My advice, hire a coach... One who preps competitors... And tell your coach what you aspire to do and they will put you on the right path. Got any pics of our 175 @ 7.91%? With those stats, you could probably do MPD already

Here I am 3wks ago at 177 @10%, when I get home ill take a current one. Basically I want to do physique because i dont think I have the genetics for bodybuilding. Plus physique is a cheaper lifestyle, and seems relatively easier.

Not bad... Tighten up and you would do fine in MPD. I would say pick an NPC show 12-16 weeks out and commit to it... You never know how you'll do until you do it. Plus, getting your feet wet in your first show, you learn ALOT. I still recommend a prep coach... Invaluable in my opinion. All the best!

Thanks. Yes I was watery from the peps. But if you think I'll do fine then that makes me happy. I'm moving to phoenix next couple months do maybe I could try to work with matt christainer

Am I able to compete right in the NPC as a first time competer?

The two guys that won class a and b at the show I was just at were TINY. They were ripped though. The guy that win the overall was the class a guy and he had a very small waist and abs were etched.
He beat out several guys of comparable condition with more muscle mass.

Awesome. I live in Phx. Matt is in very impressive condition. I have seen him at several of the shows here. I am doing The AZ Open in July, you should do that one. I've seen the MPD competitors at that show and you would do well against them... Just get nice and lean.

Absolutely

Thanks guys you've got me excited on this!! I just figured I need to keep my waist as tight as possible and come in around 5% and shouldn't do to bad.

 

[Leggo my Ego]

PM me if you end up planning to do the AZ show in july... we can meet up backstage

GL again...
