I have been training for a show on sept 5th however this weekend i became ill and have had a fever of 101.5-102.4 for 3 days which means i have not stayed on my diet or trained for those 3 days. I suspect i will not be able to train for another few days. I am planning on doing a show on oct 3 as well, but i am thinking it may be time to back out of the first one seeing as i only have about 3 weeks left and i am about 8% bodyfat. I am a natural athlete the first show is non tested but the second show is a tested show. It will be my first show and i was just wanting to know what u guys think

Since the second show will not be a natty show I say a big fat good luck to that one! Why dont you wait and see how your body comes outa this and go from there. Dont just assume you cant get there in the next 3 weeks!

The 2nd is tested, so I would do that one for sure. If you have the $$ do the first to get some stage experience. Try to come in as best shape as you can. First time on stage can be nerve racking. Do you have your poses down perfect? I've been to MANY shows and guys that compete several times STILL can't get the manditory poses done correctly. That IS the contest...not the Eve show.

OK then when you go to the second show, most likely the same judges will be there and MAY remember you from a month ago. If you come in better shape, great stage presence, and hit your poses perfect...you will do good...IF you are in decent shape.


SO I would hit the gym as sonn as the fever goes down, Plenty of rest, perfect diet. you can still pull this off, but 1 week off wil hurt a bit. Depends just how far your body is. If it's 6 weeks out then pass.
