Author Topic: Why Isn't This Guy An IFBB Pro Yet? (Read 5923 times)

Was Big Jerome robbed at the USAS and Nationals this year? He was the heavy favourite for the Overall heading into both shows but took a hugely disappointing 5th on both occasions in the SuperHeavies...is he losing it? He said he would retire if he failed to win an IFBB Pro Card this time round...well, I feel his shape, structure and mass should win him his Pro status within the next 2 years. That is IF he sticks around.

Dont like his look personally, perhaps thats just a bad picture of him and you should post more.

Yes but funny thing is that Evan's only 24/25 whereas Jerome's an old cat (38) with all those years of training (2 decades) and so quickly the kid has surpassed him! Just freakin' blown by him and consigned the old warrior to the rubbish heap. Why? Jerome has the mass & structure to succeed...plus great aesthetics, proportions, small waist.

Hey, genetics can take you far at a young age. Shawn Ray turned pro at 21. Lee Haney was Mr. O at 24.

He should just go the PDI route, he would be the 2nd best guy there behind Lee.

Where is he gonna go in the IFBB, 12th place an no $$$$$$$$$

then he gets 2nd at a pdi event, the pdi goes under and now the ifbb blackballs him a la the wbf athletes. yeah that makes sense.

Agreed - he should make his money while he can and go the PDI route - he looks like a decent bodybuilder but that physique won't amount to anything in the IFBB.
