    Default How many weeks out am I?

    I've been thinking very seriously about competing in Men's Physique. I wonder if I can win a pro card? Definitely not big enough for bodybuilding, but I think I have good enough size to do well in Physique.

    I'm around 5'10 and 84kg (185lbs), empty stomach and post workout. I wonder if I need to drop the extra 5lbs... at the moment I'm just focusing on training as hard as I can and eating around 2200 calories a day.

    On an unrelated note I haven't been training legs for the past 3 years due to chronic tendinosis so my legs are a bit deflated. Not skinny by any means (they're around 26 inches), but definitely not as big as they should be. I know I don't need legs for physique. But I guess it's good to start with Physique and then move on to bodybuilding at some point:

    Congrats brother. I rarely see 185lbs look like that on someone your height...but you did say your legs were lagging big time.

    If you were more balanced top to bottom you would probably be closer to 200.

    I can't see your back, but everything from the waist up on the front is ready.

    If your calves are half way decent I would say you're ready.

    You could do well in local shows in bodybuilding, definitely. And at 5'10" and 185 you're built for Men's Physique given a reasonable set of calves, of course. Hell, even without a good set of calves. Your upper body could carry you.

    What has the doctor said about your tendinosis?

    From a single photo front only, three to four weeks. Additional photo angles would allow for more data to review. Legs and calves would be excellent to see in addition to a back shot.
    Training and diet consulting available. Send me a PM.

    For men's physique? You would just need a few days to dry out.

    Don't confuse physique contests with bodybuilding. You might actually hurt your placing if you show up too conditioned.
