Title: how much money do retired bodybuilders make? what do they do?
Post by: J Grey on December 01, 2008, 06:40:35 PM
their only career was bodybuilding, so if they bodybuild from 19 to 40 without getting any education
what are they left with?  ???
they can't bodybuild forever, I wonder how much guys like Zane and Matarazzo and other retired bodybuilders make

Maybe they can get a job that doesnt require much of an education? Im sure there's jobs like that, Im sure these jobs are important to society and I'm glad there's people doing these jobs.

even educated people will have to do these jobs in the future with the opening of borders and massive immigration from the third world to the north worldwide.

Actually, I agree with Blupo (mark this one in the calendar).  I and many others couldn't live the way we do without the millions of people out there doing the dirty work that needs doing.  Here's to their lives of quiet desperation, and the blue-collar "work ethic" that makes the world go 'round!  ;)

Personal training, drug dealing, running/owning gyms, starting clothing/supplement lines, et cetera. Of course, there's always man-whoring 4 pay.....

I bet Wheeler connects people but doesn't sell? I'd bet my bottom dollar though that Yates is pushing over in England. And I'd bet anything that Kamali is full blown pushing in the North East. What about that sick looking fella Prince? How do you think he gets by? I could be wrong? This is just my opinion.

This is the problem with so called 'professional bodybuilders' guys who competed in Arnold's era didnt' have these problems, they had goals, families, ambitions, not like the losers of today, they think they're special, so they train, eat and sleep. Remember, being a full time bodybuilder doesn't allow time for such trivial things like a job or career!

fucking lazy losers.

Nothing.

Who are the losers of today?  I don't think the current crop is any more or less of "losers" than any other bunch. 

Remember, Arnold and Franco didn't have to hold jobs, thanks to Uncle Joe.  Those guys were certainly a special breed, but they were also very lucky to be living at a time when the fitness movement was just getting underway.

I could have sworn I've seen pics of Arnold and Franco laying bricks or some shit like that, and didn't they run a construction company or something?

Yes. And as a child, I worked in the coal mines for 23 hours a day, so my sweet old granny could afford her medicine.

You're a gentleman and a scholar. The world would be a better place if only more men were like you.

I'm thinking the construction worker thing was one of Uncle Joe's PR schemes.  Cop, cowboy, soldier, indian chief, and leather clad dude were secondary options.

I laboured for bricklayers for about 2 weeks once.  This is not a job... that you want.
