What’s your goals for 2025?

[Solaszz]

For me it’s consistency in the gym, less screen time

100 % consistently day in and day out with everything. Waking up early, sleeping early, eating what and when I'm supposed to, traing smartly to improve my physique.

When I decided I was going to go for this in June, after looking through pics of the over 50 mendms national winners, it was the g hardest to stick to a schedule, not take days off I wasn't supposed ECT

I almost gave up. But my gf at the time was good about it. She told me I know you want this, it comes with a pro card, if course I'll neverp use, and that was the biggest goal if that for me

I was absolutely shocked when I found out that winning the Masters National turns you pro in the IFBB. Like a 50+ year old is going to set the pro bodybuilding world on fire.

It's a shame how much the NPC and IFBB have watered things down. My goal, always, was to just get a pro card. I knew I wasn't big enough to ever be a good pro but it was so hard, back then, to get that pro card it became something to chase itself.

When I competed there were only a select # of way to turn pro.
Win the OVERALL at the USA, win the overall at the team universe, the overall at the North American or your class at the nationals. That was it for a US bodybuilder and it was freaking hard. So many really awesome body builders never turned pro because of it. Most noteablaby Edgar Fletcher. He had an unbelievably big, symmetrical, proportioned physique. He stepped on stage and everyone knew he was a pro already. Every year he would just miss. Second in the nationals, win class at USA but loose overall. Over and over.

Now it's fairly easy. Christ I can turn pro at 53 next year, possibly.

From what I know 1st and second of every class in the USA and Nationals turns pro. Like someone second in the middleweights is ever going to be able to compete professionally. I hate it.

Better life balance

Not sure if you have ever competed but to prepare correctly any life balance goes out the window about 12 weeks out.

It becomes all the contest and nothing else and it has to be that way or you'll never look the best you could have.

When I prepare for a contest I don't go out at all, I sleep, train and eat. That's it. And pose.

I've always thought that one of the best parts of bodybuilding is the parties after the contest. I've never been to such insane, crazy, anything goes parties anywhere else.

Nope, I have not, and I have no interest. I'm too old and too small. I'm looking forward to dialing back my time in the gym, and replacing it with other interests.

[YBKIVTW]

Get leaner, reduce screentime, learn

Competitive bodybuilding attracts a certain type of personality. It's definitely not for everyone.

Goal for 2025 is put on as much muscle as I possibly can and limit any bf. Trying to compete in Summer of 2026 so how much muscle I add this year will go a long way in telling me if I can go through with competing.

I'll only compete if I feel I have a chance to at least be in the mix. Meaning top 3.

I’m back in the gym I’m hoping to hit the 205 lbs at 12%,While keeping my waist at 34”….

This is just a goal for me,I’m 55 never really cared about being lean I always just chased the bigger the better!

My biggest was 235 at 5’11 around 18-20% bf. It’s all about low and slow quality over quantity now without getting sidelined by injury.
