How do you start competing?

[ultra40]

I was going to bulk for a few months and then try to cut and compete in a competition for fun. I'm 6'4 so i am at a disadvantage and really need to be heavy before i cut so i can look similar to someone who is only 200lb bc they are 5'7. I notice that alot of amateur comps have previous competition placement reqs so i was wondering how to find events that i could start at and work my way up. Thanks!

I posted the 2010 NPC schedule in this forum about a week ago. Find a local show and go for it.

Thanks for the response. I was looking at that site yesterday and the one i clicked on had previous requirements before you could attend that one, such as placing in the top 5 in a certain other competition. Maybe i just clicked on the wrong one, i'll go back and check!

Yes, some shows you need to be Nationally Qualified to compete in.

Anyone can enter a National Qualifier, its the National Level shows that require qualifications. USA's, North American, Nationals, Jr Nationals, Jr USA's. ect...

What show are you doing? I can't wait to see how "huge" you look onstage.
