Not a bad physique, but it depends on which category you’re planning on competing in. Unless you compete as a lightweight/bantamweight, you may find it difficult in any other category, unless of course you pack on 50lbs of lean mass and drop 10-15% bodyfat.
Bodypart wise (from what I can see i.e. no back shot or any mandatory poses) your shoulders and chest need a lot of work. Your upper body is quite narrow so keep filling it in. Work hard on your incline movements for chest and a combination of super-strict lateral raises with overhead presses. Legs aren’t too bad, but can’t really judge the hamstrings from the photo provided.
Post up some more photos of you posing and of the other side of your physique, then it’ll be easier to give a better critique.
You look like the average 21 y.o. guy out on the beach. Ok compared to the average guy, but when you get on stage, well, those are not the average guys. I’m all for getting the first one under your belt but maybe getting another year under that belt wouldn’t hurt.
need atleast another 10-15 lbs of muscle before i’d even think about stage time
