want to get into bodybuilding

[vcdquality]

Hey everyone I want to get into bodybuilding. Do they do it by weight divisions? I'm only 5'7 are there many body builders that height. Just thought it might look funny. hahaha

Have a look at the Federation rules and the NABBA classes.

NABBA has two height classes for athletic and physique, NZFBB it's by weight (except in Athletic, which is a height-weight formula).

5'7" isn't that short, I know I've seen shorter, including some regional winners.

Are you male or female? 5 7" is above average height for a female and prolly average for a male. BB comps are in weight divisions and then broken up into various catergories from there.

I'm the same height as you, and I figure we have a bit of an advantage over taller guys at similar weights. Any width on us is gonna look more impressive than on a 6ft dude. That's my theory anyway, if I'm wrong, can someone enlighten me.
