I'ld like to get ready to compete, but how much mass is enough? I dont have too much trouble getting cut, but Ive hit a plateau as far as mass. Then there is the potential for losing mass while shredding...I dont want to shrink!

can anyone help?

Thanks,
Myrna

We cannot tell you....... How can we without knowing or seeing a picture of you?!!!!
You got different categories..... fitness, figure, bodyfitness, body building etc
Get somebody who knows to look at you.

When dieting there is always a risk of loosing some muscles. Keep your protein intake high and don't loose more than 1-2lbs weekly.

THe best way I have found to get over a plateau is to do negatives. That usually puts me over the hump in a week or so. Just make sure you have enough protein in your body and keep working out, or you will sacrifice precious muscle.
