Men’s Physique IFBB pro card?

i was in the corps and I have a ton of easily identifiable tattoos unfortunately. My name/units/daughters name ect/mos so it’s hard for me to get a pic without blacking out my whole body

No problem brosky
But post injury now I’m pretty far. I’m not big enough and I’m too fat right now. I’m just trying to find the difference between my NPC second place body and what I need for a pro card

I'd say 5'10 187-192 4-5.9% for you should get it done at the right show, if you have the structure.

I'm rooting for you.

i feel like I could do 2021 6% at 194. My main issue is the injury making my right side come up faster than my left.

Interesting. Asymmetry is much more easily disgusied in men's physique through the posing, I wouldn't even worry all that much about it.

What motivates you to turn pro? Just a personal accolade, or is it something you want to use to bolster your own brand or personal business?

just a personal goal. I don’t even brag about accomplishments much. I like to set goals to motivate myself

Why would you be screwing yourself by doing legs? AFAIK this isn't Classic Physique where there are height and weight limits. The men's physique guys are sometimes more jacked...

i thought men’s physique did have height and weight requirments. And due to that many didn’t train legs since it’s not judged

I came in almost max weight to my qualifier peeled as fuck and only got second in a qualifier. So I’m wondering if training legs was my downfall

No unless something has changed Men's Physique has no height/weight limit and I agree it's totally lost it's way with the intention of the class. Go look at like 2014 guys the originals (Steve Cook, Sadik, etc.) when they first were in it to today it's insane. It's the reason Steve Cook quit he wasn't willing to push it that far.

The whole "don't train legs" thing is just as you said because you are in board shorts and it's not integral to your win.

2013 vs 2020 I believe:

I’m doing a Provincial show in Nov.
Masters Physique.
I’ll probably walk on stage at 6’2” 210 & 6% BF.
I bet I’ll be the small out of shape guy on that stage.
I don’t care if I place.

makes me so sad where this sport is going. 210 @ 6% would win you an overall 4 years ago

Good luck with the show.
You should place well at 210 peeled in a masters show.
Especially amatuer
You should see the guys at the IFBB qaulifiers for physique in Canada 2019 (cant remember which show)
But it was really lackluster.
With the exception of 1 and 2, the rest of the guys wouldnt have even placed back in 2010 when I was training for that type of stuff (Before PL took over my fitness life lmao)

The shows are VERY hit and miss up here for physique.

Agreed.
These guys look like classic with smaller arms and chicken legs.

Good luck with your show brother, hopefully you can get back to beast mode and blow everyone away on stage.
Let us know how it goes.

Would be awesome if you got your card!

Brandon Hendrickson is one guy that I think best emulates that. His upper body right now looks as big if not bigger than all of the classic guys. The dude is full as fuck, but his legs look so undeveloped. His calves non existent. It looks so awkward.
