Thread: Do a show every year vs. another show in 2 years?

Thanks

Like your on a massive dose of AAS. Keep pumping and wait on the competing.

Why worry about it? Either way you're likely still going to do the same things. Eat right and lift hard. You gain what you gain and at any point you can say enough is enough and lean out to compete again.

If you're there right now ... great, if you feel you need more...

Take the 2 years and improve.

Two years seems like alot of time away from the stage but its really not. If you spend four or five months getting ready then another two-three months to add back the wieght you lost its almost a year. So before your next show you have about 3-4 months of training at full strength or less. Taking additional time will alow your body rest and time to make improvments due to increased strength.
