Should I be able to compete in Physique in Summer 2018

[kdifilippo]

Hi guys,

I have been told by some people that I should compete, and I am interested in competing in Physique in the summer of 2018 since I am currently in school. I have done 2 lgd + S4 cycles with fantastic results imo, putting on around 8lbs on each one.
Criticism is very welcome as there is ALWAYS room to improve!

Thanks so much to Dylan and the crew for helping all of us through our fitness journeys!

Competing is big commitment, and it's important to know exactly what you're getting into before you commit to it. I would never discourage anyone from pursuing it, if that's what you want to do, but realisitically to be competitive you probably need a much better base. If you want to get an idea of where you stand go to a local show and check it out. I strongly suggest it and get a feel for what you are up against. It would also be a good idea to get yourself into single digit bodyfat to get an idea of the package you present. Cutting to very low levels of bodyfat will get you a lot smaller than you visit until you actually do it and see for yourself. A lot of people carry false size because of the layer of bodyfat covering their muscles, and when conditioned you become a chiseled harder, yet much smaller version of yourself. That's just reality. Competing is fun, but very humbling. If you have the drive for it, keep on course and work on bettering your physique. Do the things I said, and you'll get a good idea of when you are ready to go for it.
