I'd say his best chance is probably the Mountaineer... It's lost some of it's steam since the Metrolina became a qualifier... I don't know what a fair wager could be because there is no telling how many competitors are going to be in a certain class. Novice or Junior are also going to be the safest route. If he goes open it's just gonna be ugly. Sorry Vince, nothing personal but giving my opinion on your physique from what I have seen it's really quite atrocious (sp). I've been to literally 100's of shows, regional, state, Pro Qualifiers and IFBB shows and you really strike me as one of the many guys that show up and the audience just wonders what the hell was this guy thinking. From the pics of you dieted down I didn't see any muscle at all. I mean, literally, none. I have no idea what your diet or training regimen is but it's obviously not working. When it comes to bodybuiliding Vince the proof is in the pudding. You can't hide behind anything. Your body speaks for itself and you really need to go back to the drawing board and concentrate on building muscle before you attempt to diet down for a show.
