Congrats on speeding through your goals- you are probably envied by many of the people on this board who are hardgainers lol
Height isn't an issue in the amateur shows :-P I'm always the tallest one on stage (so many midgets hahaha) I look a giraffe next to the little 4'11 and 5'0 girls. (I'm just under 5'7!)
My goals are the opposite of yours; I'm cutting not bulking. I had to take a year off of the show because of injury & health problems, and gained about 40lbs in the last year cuz I was unable to do any cardio (two fractured shins!) so I've got my work cut out for me this year! Luckily I still lifted weights so I did put on muscle, I just gotta take off the 20-30lbs of fat that accompanies it now!
I'm competing again this year- I'm training for a show in June , but because my legs are still iffy and I'm still having some health issues I can't train to the extremes that I used to, so I'm training with that show in mind, and if I feel I'm not ready by June, I'll just keep maintenence until my show in September.
As of now I'm down 12-15lbs, and working out 6 days a week with a three-day split for weights, cardio every day, active rest on my day off. I want to take it slow so I don't plateau, so I'm aiming for about 10lb/month (doing a 3-4 month prep)..I'm wicked excited to be back in the game!! (Though I will miss having boobs! These are kind of fun!)
