[The Deuce]

Ok first off...

does anyone know where I could begin to look on where to get info on where to start on learning everything i need to know about bodybuilding (like where to find amateur first time events) and all the basic stats... obviously non natural... and guys please don't tell me to hit the search... I have ... I am just looking for someone to point me in the right direction. I did searches and it brought me to all kinds of stuff that didn't help me or guide me in the way i wanna go and thats why I am asking nicely for help.

I have decided I wanna pursue a career in bodybuilding and I want to know where to start. I've never done it before but I used to be a powerlifter and I think it's time after a herniation of my L4-L5 disk to choose a different career path. I certainly know how to eat right and to cycle appropriately and I believe I can get myself contest ready by the end of August with enough determination and dedication.. which I have... I am ready and would like some help... Please and Thank you Bros !!!

you can google bodybuilding too, thats where i learned most of my stuff. just 5 weeks ago i looked up the NPC website, just found a competition that worked with my schedual signed up and now im 8 weeks outs! Everyone is different in how the prepar for them. Just find one that you like go with it and see how your body reacts. I got a lot of help from a trainer at my gym. She is a bodybuilder so it helps a lot...they will stear you in the right direction and can reallly help you out if your planning on competing

SO BASICALLY BEFORE I CAN GO ANYWHERE I HAVE TO BE NATURAL?? I HAVE TO COMPETE NATURALLY BEFORE I CAN COMPETE WITH THE USE OF AAS?? That's what I gathered from what I learned... if that's the case then I will have to see what i can do I mean I wanna compete. I wanna start this whole bodybuilding career but I am on TRT as it is. So I am not natural... I don't know what to do now.. I am so freakin' confused !!!
