Better. But in Sweden, do BBing competitors wear jeans?

You have a decent natural base. Maybe you can bench 300+ lbs, there are some really strong young guys out there, you might be one, but from seeing your physique you don’t look like you would be able to.

Hey, you look good for a 17 year old, not sure what type of feedback you are looking for. But I feel that although you can compete in the teenage division as well as the novice, I still feel you could still add some muscle first. Meaning taking sometime to put weight before starting your prep. Most likely, if you diet down to where you need to be to compete, you might realize you don’t have enough of the lean muscle mass you’d want for a contest.
It’s great you’ve set the goal to compete, congrats and maybe you’ll shred down and do well, but I feel putting some more muscle would help you greatly.
Oh, and I’m not sure what powerlifting numbers have to do with bodybuilding. But I get it :slight_smile:

Your legs and back aren’t where they should be. I say this because you would’ve posted and showcased them if they were.

For 17, as others have noted, you look to have a decent base. If you throw up a few different angles/poses, I’ll gladly offer some thoughts. If you’re not competing until next year, you have plenty of time to intelligently address any weak points, get good advice, and come into the show proud of what you’re bringing.
