**ManOsteel** · 08-31-2006, 12:06 PM

I love bodybuilding and have been lifting ever since i was 13yrs old. I am now 24yrs old, im 5'9 and weigh a bit more now than when the pic was taking im about 225lbs. Im trying to get up to 230-235lbs. Do you guys think i have a future in bodybuilding? I wouldnt know how to go about competing though.

Learn more about your diet and how different foods affect you, anyone could compete I stood next to some guys last weekend that I felt embarrassed for but they still got on stage and did their thing, so I respect them for that.

Yeah anyone CAN compete, but you wanna step on stage and be successful/proud of how you look, as my man BD said....Read, Lift, Eat, Sleep, Learn...

P.S. BD I wanna see contest pics NOW!
