What are everyone's plans for 2003?

[MIKE_XXL]

Just wondering what shows are you guys planning on doing this season, i am thinking of entering Mr.Olympia as a special invite.......but for real i will do 2 shows: Late October & early November i placed 3rd at the show in november and want to better my placing before moving to another level in 2004...so let's hear it what you guy doing?

[BIG R]

I'll be doing the Texas State competition (July 19th, 28 weeks) the 1st annual Lee Labrada Classic (Aug 2) two weeks later. Then I will be imersed in Pizza and Ice Cream for about 6 months after.

[silverfox]

[toopowerful4u]

Im not sure yet. I know im doin an oct 25 and Nov shows. Im debating doin a summer show, since i live on the beach and would b nice to b ripped and go to the beach.

[ann]

Aiming on a couple....havent committed yet to dates

[livnnfit]

I plan on doing two shows this year - One the "Nationals" and the other a small regional show (just for fun and exposure, few weeks earlier) Both are in May. I am going to give figure another shot and spend this year just training to improve my fitness routines (gymnastics, dance..). and try Fitness late in the year or next year. I hope to actually have a summer off this year! First time in 3 years.

[Shredz]

My plans are to keep packing on some lean muscle mass for my future plans of competing in 2004. As well as ripping it up for the summer of course.

[BIG TEXAN]

I plan on putting some more size on, now 236, want to hit 255 or better and then early next year lean out. Hoping to debut in 2004 also.

[Lmg2701]

First show Louisiana Bodybuilding Championships-Novice Lightweight 7-12
Second show National teen collegiate masters-collegiate lightweight 7-19

[saboudian]

Want to compete in mid may or june somewhere in or around michigan, haven't decided on a competition yet. This will be my first competition and i will be competing as a teen, hopefully 175lbs dry at around 4% BF. I think as long as i get my final week of prep down, no other teen can beat me, at least i haven't seen any other teens yet that come close.

[KunipshunFit]

I want to win my bet on April 3rd...and around that time there are some shows around here...So if i'm where I need to be I'll enter one for the hell of it *provided i look halfway decent* and if not, i'll diet down until I'm around 6% and then maintain for the summer and try to pack on 20lbs lbm this winter.

[wrstlr69sdnl]

Plan on entering my first comp. this yearmy friend is told me to go in not sure when it is though its not for a while I know that.

[Maytag]

im leaning to compete at Musclemania Canada 2003 in April

if not musclemania

then the the ABA ...something small for my first show

then after that im going spend a year packing on another 20lbs of muscle mass before i compete again...i want to hit 190lbs contest weight

[Steele]

i'm doing the orange county classic. first competition. gonna be scary ripped!

[Mr. Trenton]

I'm planning on doing the Trenton, NJ Bodybuilding Championships in early June, the Muscle Beach show a like a week or two later if its even on this year, and possibly the 2003 Physique Bodybuilding Show in Wildwood, NJ in July, and the South Jersey Bodybuilding Championships in October. The last two I mentioned I'm not sure about yet, if the Muscle Beach show isn't on for this year cause last year it was cancelled, I'm definately doing the Physique Show, but the one in October I wanna do and I was suppossed to do it last year but got side tracked but I kind of wanna bulk around then, I'll just have play it by ear.

[mmmanabolics]

<- that is the main part of my plan. I hope to get up to about 200 by July 2004 ( from 165 ) Also depending on my progress I may try for a Nov. 03 competition...

[chicamahomico]

I would like to get up to a competitive grappling weight of 190+. That leaves me about 12-16 lbm with a few pounds room for summer fat loss(I'm about 180 now). Gotta have abs for summer.

[Thorazine]

I don't post here as often as I should, but I find this is one of the best boards for amateur bodybuilding information.

I'll be entering my first contest on June 7 of this year. I'm really excited.

I'll only be 20 years old when this happens so I plan on entering the junior division and hopefully come in as either a heavy middleweight or a light light-heavy. It all depends how I look when I cut down.

I live up in BC, Canada, so this competition will be at the novice level. I feel if I come in as hard as possible that I will be able to qualify for the provincials that are going to take place on September 6.

So if you see me posting stupid questions, just bare with me! I have a ton of info, I just need to figure out how to put it to use.

Good luck to everyone this year!

[powerlifterjay]

I am doing two bodybuilding shows one on May 31st, and June 21st. I am also qualified to enter the Bench America contest www.benchamerica.com on July 5th. I am qualified with my 625lb bench i did in Sept @242lbs but will try to enter at 220lbs and go for 600 at that weight. But if i dont do it , i will then lift in the WPO bench bash for cash in Nov, after i do the Nationals to re qualify for it again this year.

BUt might try to add more bodybuilding to my routine to come in next year and hit some more shows. I am thinking of doing bodybuilding shows in the spring and then hit my pro powerlifitng meets in the fall. Variety, i am getting burned out on straight powerlifting!! BUt i would get burned on just straight bodybuilding too. Might have to hit some strongman later on!! Big year ahead.

[BIG MAN FROM AR]

there are a couple of shows in may in arkansas im considering. but my goal is collegiate nationals in july. lmg2701 maybe ill see you there.

saboudian, not cocky at all are you? if no teen can beat you you should do teen nationals.

[GymGryl]

My first show this year will be the Ronnie Coleman Classic on April 26. after that I am not sure. Will wait an see how well I do and then make a decision.

[FKITLETSGO]

Ya, i'm pretty cocky and arrogant.

Although, hittin a big collegiate show in a couple years is still in the back of my mind, only problem with collegiate shows is that college kinda gets in the way.

[Dr. Derek]

I'm planning on laying around and getting pretty much as disgustingly fat as I can. Hope all is well with the board, will try to make it around more often.... Peace

[Catamount]

I'm planning on doing the national collegiate show. I will probably do a little show right before to prep me for it....maybe the Vermont one in May but I wouldn't be dieted down enough so I'm not sure.

[web03]

I'm planning on doing a show early september (first show) so i'll be looking forward to your inputs. I think there should be a FAQ for first timers so the vets don't have to countinually repeat themselves.
