Title: I am going to become a pro bodybuilder, dammit!!
Post by: ManBearPig... on April 03, 2006, 07:01:03 PM
Can anyone make me a quick list of what kind of commitment it takes, and what I can expect to make as say your average 3rd tier bodybuilder?

Starting salary is $4.3M.

Although I hear the benefits suck.

Cool. Good for you PR. Perhaps Schmoe Studios can lead you along the proper path of schmoedom, towards increasing your sponsorship dollars.

Do I get a shiny new pirate shirt if I get my pro card? Because then I'll have to get REAL.

Depends on how many contests you do and win. You won't make much unless you're one of the top pro's. Winning major contests and such. It is not something to get into for the money, That's for sure. You should always have a real job aside from pro bodybuilding until you become a top level competetor(In the top 10 in the olympia and winning a few contests a year). Contracts make you $ too but it depends on who you are. Ronnie Coleman would make more $ for a contract than Bob Chicerillo.

Living on the $ you would make as a 3rd tier(Assuming you did atleast 2 contests a year and have no contracts,Which most 3rd tiers don't have) you would make less than 10,000$ a year.)

That is where schmoing comes into play......just ask Lift Studios for some advice. Also,I'm sure Derek Anthony can help as well.

I know you're taking the piss but aside from being a top placer how well you present and market yourself is the measure of how much you make.

I think when your 300lbs and your shoulders are twice as wide as your waist your not going to have much selection in clothes short of wearing beer kegs with suspenders and old potato sacks

Let me think...  I guess if they weren't around all those drugs wouldn't get produced and that would put a few people out of work.

how much should i expect to spend on cycles to look as good as your average third tier?

20k a year?

i have a decent idea of how steroid prices go, and if these people claim they spend 10k a year they're either:
a. lying
b. on the fast track to death
c. their ass looks like a strainer, and b.

To be third tier you need the following:

---An "@AOL.com" email
---A .com contract
---To argue pointlessly on Internet threads
---Brag about your muscle cars
---Represent every Pro BBer in the world
---Hang out with somebody who "almost died for you bitches"
---Eat overpriced egg whites at the Fire Station
---Hang out at a strip mall Max Muscle a lot
---Talk about your good looks
---Wear shades in the gym
---Alter and delete post's by 240

That about does it...

I'll bet she has far more aesthetic glutes and thighs as well. I hope for Big Ron's sake that he tapped that ass.
