Default Want to Compete
So, I've recently gotten VERY into lifting and now have an urge to compete.

Stats:
Age: 19
Height: 5'1
Weight: 110 lbs
Hips: 37.5 inches
Waist: 24.5 inches
Bust: 31 inches
Bicep: 10
Upper Thigh: 21
Mid Thigh: 17.5

I know I have a lot more work to do. I'm thinking of competing in a figure contest or trying to become a fitness model. I'm not strong enough to compete in an actual lifting contest.

Any input in how I could go about becoming a fitness model, competing, what judges look for, etc would be VERY helpful. If it's even possible for someone so short to do such a thing, etc.

Email my friend Carrie (http://transformationsbycarrie.com - I'm not spamming this, but she's a pretty good female bb'er fitness competitor and I get no cut) and chat with her.

She's on here as sa_hardbody, but I think she was having trouble posting (???) Blonde...

Good luck!!

I know at IntenseMuscle they have a number of judges and competitors for those types of competitions. I'm sure they would have some very good advice.

Sophie,
Have you posted any pics lately?
Maybe you should post some up, and then people can give you some suggestions on what your strong points are, or what you can work on, etc.
Either way, I think your attitude is great, and I think you'd do well at whatever you decided to do.

Not necessarily....
Even though she did say she has a lot of work to do before she'd compete.
I've seen some of these girls though, I don't really think she's too far off.
Of course, we could all use some tweaking here and there, but I think she'd be fine.

Jennyd, have you ever thought of competing? Looks like you have the abs for it.

HeHe...thanks, but I'm not the competing type.
I'm not into having a group of people stare at me to tell me if my body is nicer than someone elses....it's just not in me. I get nervous in front of people too.
Physique-wise, I might be able to do it....but mental-wise, I'd never be able to.

I haven't taken any pictures for awhile. Will try to take some after this semester is over.

The picture in my avatar was taken before I started working out, around May of this year. I'm not going for the ultra-muscular look. I'm not willing to do that to my body.

I'm going for more like this Jen Kersten Interview

Either way, I have some work to do.

I think I have found a contest I want to compete it. It's in April. Lots of work to do. It seems pretty laid back and I have to start sometime, might as well ne sooner rather than later.
