no offense to him but he wouldn't crack the top 10 in the "REAL" nationals
Exactly.
As On_Swole posted he never even qualified to do a proqualifier.
He seems a cool guy, so I mean no disrespect, but assuming PDI gets any pros to switch he will not be competitive at all. There's some asskissing being dished at him as he seems like a nice guy, but realistically his physique is not pro-caliber.But as he said, he has nothing to lose...
Also...if the guys can do both IFBB and PDI as has been mentioned, obviously many guys will take advantage. Other than that I do not see Darrem switching.
We must remember one thing, most of these guys make the alot of their money in appearance fees. The NPC/amateur IFBB is established with hundreds of shows a year around the globe that hire guest posers....PDI cannot compete with that.
Darrem is one of the most in demand guest posers there is. I doubt he'll want to give that up.
Edit: This guy has posted he is considering going PDI. I think he looks good.
