Is there a certain size you have to be to compete in bodybuilding or can you enter a show at any level.

The reason i ask is im thinking bout training for a show and want to know how to get into it.

In most cases depending on the competition and organization
Male competitors are graded into six weight classes..
 
-Bantamweight: up to 143 lb
     
-Lightweight: 143- 154 lb
      
-Middleweight: 154lbs-176lbs.
    
-Light-Heavyweight:  176lbs- 198lbs.
      
-Heavyweight: 198lbs-225lbs.
     
-Super-Heavyweight:225lb and over lbs
 
What organization are you planning to compete in??
 
What are your goals and stats?
 
Do you plan on getting a coach?
 
When do you plan on competing?

Im not sure about the organization what is a good one?
Im currently 5’8” 190
I have a training partner but no coach.

I would definitley hire a coach/trainer.
 
I would recommend INBF (natural body builing) or NPC.. Those are just my preferences.
 
Does anyone have any other recommendations??

get ripped as shit? lol

 Just like his idol Spits-ennegger!
