Hey guys,

I am prepping for a my first show in August. I really want to compete in classic physique, but as it stands I am already at my cut-off weight with 12 weeks to go, so I am definitely going to come in under weight. Now I could just compete in MP, but could it be possible to gain a couple of KG's leading up to the show and maybe come in full enough to stand CP? Is it something I should even consider or just forget about it and do MP?
