What kills this sport and those involved is situations happen where a guy with good genetics beats a guy with great genetics as hes prepared to take his drug use to the next level.Its  sad that drugs, dosage and supply has a big input into who wins what once you get the guys at the top.

 But most of the time the stage is just full of guys with low or average genetics taking more than both the good and great combined and still looking like side effect shit. Sports a basket case for non athletes and the insecure.

The only "sport" where money matters more than talent, discipline and dedication. With enough money and access to quality products literally anyone can be a pro. I do mean win the O but just to get a pro card. With enough hgh, insulin and pharm grade igf anyone can be a mass
monster. AAS is of course a given but will only take you so far. The make or break point is how much pharm grade hgh you can afford.

But you still need the talent, discipline and dedication to make it all work. Everyone can watch basketball and football all day long, but if they didn't have the talent in their youth to get drafted in the leagues watching is all they can do.

BB is great in the sense that anyone who's willing to give their all to it can participate and possibly make a name for themself.

Everyone here is obviously infatuated with bodybuilding, I'd much rather be a player then watch from the side lines.

Come now, let us be reasonable.  Bodybuilding is not an athletic endeavor by any stretch of the imagination.  Unless you're counting some fetid form of Schmoe Twister in a seedy off the strip motel in Vegas. 

"Right foot, rectum!" 
"Left hand, scrotum!" 

As Pellius said, with enough drugs anyone can be a mass monster.  Anyone.

Training in and of itself can be somewhat athletic but the end result  is not.  Posing on the dais is far from athletic. It is a pageant, not an athletic event.  It is subjective not objective.   Of course having seen the photo of Coleman backstage with an oxygen mask on, replenishing his taxed reserves from battling it out with others I suppose should make me pause.  Nah.

I am more physical culturist than what passes for what a  bodybuilder is today.  Next year marks my 40th of training.  I've competed a few times too but that was likely long before you were born.  I am old.  ;D

For me, training is about  health, strength, fitness.  Not AAS, Slin and HGH.  I like bodybuilding.  I hate what some have turned it into.  Posing trunks should be not resemble a pouch with dental floss (like something from one of those 50s homosexual rags like "Young Adonis" or the like). 

That's why I am here.

What doesnt think bb isnt a sport is an idiot.If you are a competitive athlere.You got to do 30-60 minutes of cardio in the morning, then tan..When you get home practice posing for 30-40 mintes to help bring out detail.Plus it brings out the muscel fibers even more.Go home prepare your meals for the day.Work.
Then after work go to the gym train, then do abs, then do another 30 to 60 minutes of cardio.
You get ripped you need athletes 60 -120 minutes of cardio per day.Plus if you train intensly that makes it even harder.If that isnt and athlete I dont know whta is.
Pool, and darts are not athletes,niether is bowling.
I bet most people coukld pose for 30 minutes straight.Or do 30-45 minutes of cardio twice per day.while on low carbs

I hate the term bodybuilding, I prefer to see it more in terms of Strength training.   If you go to the gym, lift weights and slowy aim to get stronger, never take a steroid and eat well, you are not bodybuilding, you are strength training.  Bodybuilding is GAY.

Yes, I think we have established that. The average pizza delivery kid does more physical work than this. Mailmen do more than this. Carpenters, bricklayers, anyone in construction does much more than this. Every weekday, for four decades.

So towards the end of your post you are already shortening the 'extremely strenuous' ::) cardio load, and adding a disclaimer. Clearly even you yourself are starting to realize the folly of your poorly thought out argument. Can BBing be strenuous? Sure, but only when you do it in combination with a real job. But that still does not make it athletic.

I'm at least 20 years older than you in that pic and was at least 15 years older than anyone else on that stage in that class, haven't competed 19 years before that and still managed a 6th place out of almost 30 in the open. I was 46 in that pic and to this day I would bet every dollar you have in your little piggy bank you wouldn't last through one of my training sessions. Now, on to what I do for a living. I'm a strength and conditioning coach for real athletes, football, baseball, Mma and almost every other power sport from high school through elite professionals. It's my job to get athletes ready for their season. I've been a bodybuilder and an athlete so I can also speak from experience. If you think for ONE second bodybuilding is the least but athletic, you're fuckkng delusional. My wife is an ex-pro bodybuilder and she doesn't even think it's athletic in anyway, shape or form. Wake up son, you have a lot to learn. BTW, my training partner is a pro- bodybuilder.

Am I supposed to be impressed? Would you like me to name drop all the pros I know and train with? They bust their asses in the gym as do I. Sorry but you don't get 20 inch arms with a 6 pack from simply sitting on your ass and pinning drugs. Nor do you get sub 6% BF that way. It must all be 1 big delusion



I couldn't give a shit who you train with. I'm not impressed by most of today's bodybuilders because most don't know what training hard means. I've only seen a few who get it. Cutler, as an example doesn't even break a sweat, trains half-assed as opposed to someone like Branch, JOJ or even Meadows. Personally i don't know if you even know what training hard means. But even so, what they do is by no means athletic. Lifting weights is not an athletic movement any way you cut it. Do you think a bodybuilder would be able to compete on against a football, baseball or anything else in a competitive environment? Of course not . The conditionin, movement prep or skill isn't there.

Football players and bodybuilders train for 2 complete different platforms. Ones a field, the others a stage. Just because 1 is more grueling doesn't mean the other no longer requires athletic ability. Hope this helps.

food for 12wks prep
$2000 (cheap, considering I spend $500 a month on sushi alone)
gym membership? you'll probably have two, if you pay monthly 3months x2 (6x30) $180
NPC card $100
Entry fee $75
*remember, if you win the overall at nationals, $300 expenses will be reimbursed

45days of Xanax so you can sleep on the clen and tren 20mg Cialis every other day

*with that much tren, you might need it.. even with the mast and proviron.

- I have a total of $6200 for 12wks

This is rough, but way more accurate than the OP's bullshit costs rofl...OP ever hear of fucking Budgeting, and not spending money frivolously like a fucking retard?

Whey, Chicken, Rice, Fish, Potatoes, Eggs, and Broccoli does not cost $150 a week. They aren't dieting on fucking 5,000 cals a day of Filet Mignon and fresh organic veg for gods sake.

Guys with TOP TIER GENETICS destined to be top 10 on the Olympia stage did not need $3,000 worth of GH to prep for a national show...I fucking guarantee Kai Greene could not afford shit like GH when he turned pro...I don't care how many strip shows he did he wasn't on GH, and neither was Ronnie to turn pro.

Hell rumor has it Ronnie didn't even run GH until fucking 97'...And the Sandows were soon to follow..

Thing is in a real sport like football not many people can really play like running the 40 in high to mid 4's , eye hand cordination, speed, power, agility, etc..

But in lifting weights ANYONE can do it, just the matter of poundages used but that's irrelevant

The only "sport" where money matters more than talent, discipline and dedication. With enough money and access to quality products literally anyone can be a pro. I do mean win the O but just to get a pro card. With enough hgh, insulin and pharm grade igf anyone can be a mass
monster. AAS is of course a given but will only take you so far. The make or break point is how much pharm grade hgh you can afford.

Off the top of my head - showjumping. Good horse costs hundreds of thousands to buy, then stables, maintenance and transport. Result? 70 year olds in olympics.

Lifting weights training in the gym is not athletic at all. Go to a college football strength and conditioning practice and you will learn very fast how out of shape uncoordinated and weak you really are. Or go to a track practice and run 10 400s. You will have a heart attack or puke your brains out and quit after 5 minutes.

Any asshole can pump iron for an hour every day.

I played ball in college and I remember we had to get up at 4 am and be in the gym at 5 to do our off season conditioning. The night before We would all be dreading it soo bad. At least 4-5 of us would puke especially the first few weeks when we were out of shape. That was hell!

I played a sport every season 7-12 grade trained all summer long and then played college ball. Goldman was I in shape I was a really bad son of a bitch when I look back. I only lift weight now and do cardio. I'm so far out of that shape I was in its sickening.

What doesnt think bb isnt a sport is an idiot.If you are a competitive athlere.You got to do 30-60 minutes of cardio in the morning, then tan..When you get home practice posing for 30-40 mintes to help bring out detail.Plus it brings out the muscel fibers even more.Go home prepare your meals for the day.Work.
Then after work go to the gym train, then do abs, then do another 30 to 60 minutes of cardio.
You get ripped you need athletes 60 -120 minutes of cardio per day.Plus if you train intensly that makes it even harder.If that isnt and athlete I dont know whta is.
Pool, and darts are not athletes,niether is bowling.
I bet most people coukld pose for 30 minutes straight.Or do 30-45 minutes of cardio twice per day.while on low carbs
Hey bro, serious inquiry.

Do you even lift?

That kind of money is a drop in the water for most people actually able to afford it. People build 30k rally cars just to race recreationally etc.

Atleast you know everybody on that stage cares about what they do. There are extremophiles in every kind of activity imaginable but as long as they love what they're doing I dont think its right to class it as a mental problem, just extreme passion.

You can either respect what they sacrifice in order to achieve something that means that much to them or not, but if thats the case id have to wonder why you come to getbig in the first place.

12oz chicken breast - 400 cals x 8 = 3,200 cals (Fish is lower / Beef is higher so chicken is the average)
Bare minimum 100 carbs - 400 cals = 3,600 cals
Bare minimum 30-50 fat - 400 cals = 4,000 cals

So you got into stage shape eating 4,000+ calories a day....You realize that's nearly 600g of protein per day right?

3,900g of protein / 7 days

1,300g via egg whites - $35
1,300g via chicken - $45
1,300g via beef - $55

$135

10lb bag of jasmine rice - $15  @ 100carbs per day this will last your entire prep easily. so <$1 / week.

I mean this is just completely stupid nobody needs 550g of protein a day.

I played a sport every season 7-12 grade trained all summer long and then played college ball. Goldman was I in shape I was a really bad son of a bitch when I look back. I only lift weight now and do cardio. I'm so far out of that shape I was in its sickening.
