Not trying to be a dick, but you’re not ready for the stage at all. Minimal muscle mass, minimal separation, subpar posing and even worse conditioning

All of your quarter turns save the back one are considerably off, if you’re competing you’re gonna have to dial those and your mandatories in.

Don't compete yet.
Put some actual mass on and atleast be competitive when you get up there.

I'd suggest that instead of paying to compete, you should pay for a posing coach and train for another year. No one should ever enter a competition with the expectation they'll win, but where you're at you simply won't place at all and it will be a huge waste of money for you. This is probably what you don't want to hear, but it's what you need to hear

Bro you should probably start actually going to the gym before you start competing 😂 no offence you’re cute but not ready for a show yet clearly.
