Saw show
Went and watched a bb and fitness show last night. First time seeing one. Showed up a few minutes late for the prejudging. Already in progress when we sat down, my first thought was "is this really what I want"? After a while, it kinda grew on me. Especially after I saw that it appeared I had more mass than anyone in the masters division.
There was one young woman competiter that really dropped my jaw. Her quad mass put mine to shame! It was a natural comp, and she was only 20 years old! What potential!
There are a couple comps in april around here. Guess I just need to work up some courage.

Thats cool! Do you remember the woman’s name? I wonder if she’s on here?
I need to go see a show sometime - it seems like it would be fun to cheer everyone on!

I still remember the first show I saw and thought, "There are LOCALS here with the bodies I read about in magazines."
It was a slow process for me to decide to start bodybuilding, but even though I’m a newbie, I haven’t regretted the decision once.
Just jump in and figure the stuff out based on experience, reading articles, and what other bodybuilders who you emulate are doing..the success WILL happen!

No surpise about your mass…that would not be the challenge for you, I’d say it would be the cut diet and conditioning. Extraordinary discipline is required to get the bf% down to where you can show off your muscles properly. I guess it’s like anything in life, you won’t know if you like it until you try it, nothing wrong with having a new experience. The only BB show in my province, happens every November, is cancelled this year.

I’ve been to a few shows to watch a friend compete - they are interesting and as you say the whole thing kind of grows on you. It’s also fun to start making your guesses on who will win (and I discovered I’m pretty good at it). I agree with Tony btw. Mass is no problem for you - and I bet you could handle the dieting too (not sure that I ever could!).
