Is 12 weeks enough contest prep time?

[needsize]

so sounds like I wasted my time getting down to 4% for my show, i should have just done an NPC show instead

The NPC show in CNY last june was sick..there was 5 guys in each class that could compete at jr nationals. The only weak divison was super heavy's which next year I will own!!! that is if miracles really do happen.

Here's a current pic. I've been bulking for the past 12 weeks so I'm full house right now. I'm starting to think maybe 6 months would be better.

bro, i just did a show and Im telling you that you need at least 1 more year of solid training and "supplementaion" before you should think of steppin on stage. If you step on stage at 12% you'll regret it, and probably get discouraged from ever doing another show.

And my questioon is, why would you even consider wasting your time and money to just do a show for shits and giggles? Why put your body through that stress for nothing? Trust me, do it the right way and you'll thank me later.

Listen to bravo on this one...if you are plat go back and chcek my threads from around this time last year. I went fro 18% in april to about 11% in june and trained everyday with the intention of doing my first show. Got up and looked in the mirror and said "would I vote for me" not a chance. So i went to the show and watched and was glad i did because I might have looked better then 1 guy in my class but the other 10 kicked my ass. This year I was doing better til i messed up my shoulder and instead of killing myself to make up time i chose to wait til next year. Do it right and you'll be much happier.
