Building a competition level physique - advice

[Yoyoyo56]

Looking for advice. I'm looking to do a first competition next year, have a solid base right now but don't really have the mass. Wondering what is the best way to go about building a competition level physique. My current training split is push/pull/legs (chest/tri/shoulders, back/bicep/rear delts, legs/abs) ~5x a week with high carb high protein diet.

If it's your first show, hire a coach. Better to get with on for an off-season so they know how you respond by the time contest prep rolls around.

You have a solid base but no mass?
Sorry, wouldn't that be the solid base?

Lots of food and hard training.

Cuz if you have no mass then you need the mass

I have some mass I’m 5”9 185 lean with abs just probably need more to compete.

You're always fatter then you think you are and have less muscle then you think you do.

Hire a coach, learn and let him get a handle on your body for a few months.

If you can't afford a coach, eat as much chicken, rice, potato, egg, oats as you can choke down every day and train harder then you ever have. After 6 months of that, reevaluate and go hire that coach.
