19-20 weeks out of NPC Border States

[sloh]

I'm 21, 196 lbs in these pictures, 5'5-5'6. Do you guys think Lightweight will be a good class for me?

I think I store a lot of fat in my abdominals and lower back.

Currently around 193.

The links to my pics aren't working so here are my offseason pics again. I started the diet June 14th and ended up skipping the Border States b/c there wasn't enough time to come in conditioned.

These are 5 weeks out from Excalibur. I'm shooting for the Excalibur on December 4th. Then, I'm going to try and do the San Diego Bodybuilding Championships on March 19th where I think my conditioning will be at its best. I'm never getting that fat again in the offseason. 159.6 lbs in these pictures...I am about 5'5.5

i can tell my back is lagging behind...

Can any of you guys tell what weight I should come in at to be at the best condition? I was thinking around 145 lbs...

Nice job dieting down. You lost alot of fat. Your weakness is back width and thickness. Good arms and legs. It is hard to tell from pics, but I would guess about 150 lbs.
