Well from the small ass photo you posted you seem to have a good base for 18, but we can only see 25% of your body. Legs and front/back shot would help us to critique you. With your first show it is more about learning your body and deciding which weight class you want to fall into. I'll wait on more pics before critiquing.

From what I can see you look like you have a good enough base to compete if you really bust ass these next 5 months. Dont worry about size right now, it all looks different w/ a lower bodyfat, there are guys in the light heavies and middleweights that look jacked enough. And if your competing in May then you need to start dieting sometime in Feb, so you wont have alot of mass gaining time left. But if your doing an NPC novice division and not an open, then its not an issue b/ as far as i recall its just divided into light, middle, heavy, and heavy is anything over 175 or something. Thats what I'd do bro, shoot for the novice class just to get the experience. You'd be amazed at what a learning experience it is.

Shit man, your asking if we think your ready for a natty show? **** yeah, you chizzle up and you'll do really well. Natural shows are more about conditioning than size anyways, you come in ripped your bound to place well. The monsters are like 200 lbs in those shows. Go for it dude

[muscleboy63]

Massive shoulder width and small waist make for your awesome v-taper!!

Stacked is right.You'll most likely hit the stage around 175 or so.Being shredded in natty shows is what it's all about.I think you'll do well.

I think your arms (namely your tricep) could use some attention.

Can't tell what the 2nd half of you body looks like.. but your upper body looks pretty good.

Get shredded and you should do well.

Hmm I think you need to cut up a little bit. You're big but you need some definition. Its the cuts and ripples that are the most impressive. I'd suggest once you get a little closer to comp time start taking a fat burner like lipo 6 or a metabolism booster like thermoboost, both of which you can get a GNC. And maybe something to improve vascularity.

solid base man, if your legs are up to par with your upper body you'll do well I know guys in there mid 20's who love to have your size!

Nah you weren't being a dick. Its cool. I got a comp coming up towards the end of March. Its not a serious thing thing just a little HS thing for charity and to help the football team. Either way I get to get on stage and show up some people lol. But yeah the lipo 6 really helps I dropped a few % body fat on it. Like 3-4% if I recall, in about 6 weeks, with 4x a week cardio for at least an hour. Good luck with the contest and keep us posted with some photos.
