Been training for about two years, not very consistently but still been training at least two days a week. I’m 18 at ab 5’5 or 5’6, closer to 5’5 when barefoot. Currently in the 140s looking to bulk up this summer and compete in either fall ‘20 or spring ‘21 in classic physique for my age group.
I don’t stick to any certain routine right now and I don’t diet, I try to just eat around 2,500 to 3,000 calories a day of whatever I want. My biggest issue is soda and junk food, but I still think my physique is pretty good for what I’ve done. What’re your opinions on me possibly competing and how well you’d think I’d do if I was to take things serious and if I should get a coach and really try. I’d love to have success in this kind of sport
While I’d like to see better pics (poses) and lower body shots as well, you are nowhere near lean enough to step onstage so your 140’s means 125-130’s onstage which is absolutely tiny.
Don’t let a few cuts in good lighting steer you away from continuing to put in the work you need to be doing it competing is truly your goal.
nobody can answer this question for you. You’ll have to put in the work and find out. Since you’ve never taken this seriously enough to diet or actually follow a routine, I have zero idea what your potential is. You look alright now and everything, but nothing special.
Put in a couple years of dedicated, hard work, and see where you are then. That should give you a better idea of what your potential really is.
So, obviously you need size EVERYWHERE, but your chest and shoulders stand out to me as weak points. It looks like you’ve spent a lot more time doing arm work than anything else. A proper program will get you going in a better direction.
Also, no legs pics, along with a low bodyweight, tells me your legs probably suck. work hard on that.
Haha i hope it didn’t come across as ripping on short people. It’s just the act of giving your height with shoes on. It’s like the guy who added his bodyweight to his squat number.
It’s still a stupid way to describe squat numbers. And it also discounts the fact that you’re not moving the entirety of your bodyweight while squatting anyway.
