Shouldn’t leave the house unsupervised.

I was going to compete for the first time in NPC last November when I had a really good coach, but after learning about paying for NPC card, entry fees, trunks, spray tan, sheer amount of drugs involved to bring me to a stage-worthy physique, I withdrew. It’s simply not worth dumping THAT much money into if the best prize you can win is a trophy/medal, maybe a miniscule amount of money (if applicable), a tshirt and invitation to compete at a higher level contest in the near future. It’s an endless cycle of losing money unless you make it to the VERY top and have sponsors and all that jazz.
These days, I just train hard in the gym, run a little gas, and try to develop/maintain an above average physique. It’s a lot more practical for the long haul.
In powerlifting often you get a tub of protein with the small trophy. Totally changes the risk reward ratio.

What Fed(s) did you compete in? I mostly did meets with RPS (R.I.P Gene)
AWPC here.
Upa and uspa. I will no longer compete upa after a membership dispute, where they didn’t post my results.
They claimed you could not use the membership on the expiration date. I always assumed the expiration date was the last usable day for memberships, coupons, etc…
That’s one of the most powerlifting things I’ve ever heard.
