She didn't care about that as long as he had another 2k for the mortgage. It was when the mortgage $ was going into his butt :D

This is why bodybuilding is great if it's not 1st in your life. If you invest in a education, job, bank account, relationships, ect. Its still there when your not putting all your time/$ in it. As soon as you quit doing the bodybuilding things to look like that your body does not look the same...

Live with Bay? Do you live with him?

When you say "come live with" that alludes that you live with Bay and he takes care of you, and would also take care of this Jose fellow.

I for instance, would say, "He should GO live with Bay." Since you know... I don't live with him.

I like Jose and have been a fan of him , since his days as an NPC national level contest winner.
Let's all get real and put some things in perspective on his situation.

1. Plenty of people have had to short sell or been forclosed on when it came to their house.
Like plenty of others , he was in a home that he really couldn't afford on the avg month.
For the past few years, being forclosed on for an expnesive mortgage is nothing that new or rare.

2. Even under the best circumstances, break ups can happen in any serious relationship.
* I have been divorced 3x but refused to give up and will marry #4, next month.

3. Bodybuilding was never meant to be a viable, lucrative career path for many pros.
Only a handful of top pros ever make a decent living off it.
A rare few , like Bob Chick find a unique niche within bodybuilding and do well.

4. I have seen plenty of folks pursue careers  on everything from acting to personal training and struggle to get by.
FYI, education and degrees alone are no gurantee for success. You need a viable career path and ability to work in your field.
Teaching chemsitry and physics isn't that exciting a career LOL. But I knew I could be decent at it and make a , secure living with it.
FYI, Issac Newton and Einstein never made a lot of $$, but their ideas changed the world we live in.

5. Jose pursued his dream of being a pro bodybuilder. He is now getting ready to be  a top contender for the 212 Olympia showdown.
He is living a spartan lifestyle without a lot of creature comforts and nice things, but so what?
Monks live a spartan , celebit lifestyle and gave up all worldly things for their spirtual journey.
Henry David Thoreau wrote a classic novel about his meager, basic lifestyle near Walden Pond.
He wanted to live a deliberate lifestyle , free from the normal constraints and trappings.
Jose Raymnd is living like a pure bodybuilding in hot pursuit of his biggest title to date.
I admire him for that dedication but understand the sacrifice.

All this pursuit of your dream is fine and dandy, until a personal disaster happens.
For example, I thank GOD, I had a good job with excellent health Ins , when I tore my achilles tendon.
I'm also greatful I had a nice home and loving fiance to go to after the surgery , who was there with me
during my recovery on crutches.
I wish Jose well and will cheer him at the Olympia as a fan. I will be happy for him if he does well in the 212 Olympia showdown.
As for me I admire but don't envy the avg pro. I traded that dream for one of personal security and very different lifestyle, many years ago.
Title: Re: Jose Raymond Living the Dream - This makes me want to quit bodybuilding
Post by: snx on September 20, 2012, 06:13:54 PM
I have an idea. Why doesn't he get a job? Like the rest of humanity. You know, the kind of thing you go to, 9 to 5, that maybe you don't always like, but sometimes you do, that gives you some money. And there's a boss, and you do what they say, and you work hard, and you get a paycheck that pays bills.

I refuse to believe that bodybuilding is so fucking hard that you can't hold down a 9 to 5 job.

Ever heard of Ken Brown? Won the USAs and turned pro. All while working a 10hour shift in a factory starting at 6 am. He'd hit the gym at 3 am, go to work, come home, raise his family, and still did shows. Didn't hear about him losing his house.

How about Ronnie? He had a house, and paid his bills, and even when he was winning shows, still held down a full time job as a cop.

How about Porter Cottrell? Won a bunch of shows, and still had a career as a firefighter.

So you can be a pro, even a good one, and hold down a job.

So, you know what, it is possible to hold down a job. He doesn't need to be an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. Get a job with the city digging ditches. Get a job in an old age home cleaning bedpans. Christ, just be a personal trainer.

Nope, instead, he's a bum now. Welched on his debts. And I'm supposed to feel pity? Be a man, and get a job. It's 10 pm, and I'm still working. Because I have a family, and I care, and it's the right thing to do. Don't see me launching a woe-is-me youtube video about my lot.

I have zero empathy. And a mild disdain.

We are all bodybuilders on this site, Jose is a Professional bodybuilder.  That is the difference...I spent over twenty years at my profession and retired.  I workout everyday and work because I like to keep busy.  I expect a professional bodybuilder to make good decisions and to be able to support himself.  The body wont do him  any good away from the gym, he is not an Arnold or Louie.  When he finally awakens from the dream, he may find himself living in the back of a van talking about the good ole days...that is the problem.  Weight training is progressive, so is life.

I agree and am glad you pointed out the obvious.
For me, a stable career with a regular paycheck and bennefits was my first priority.
However a lot of talented athletes put much effort into anything else.
One of the worst things to happen to bodybuilding was the end of the AAU Mr America .
This was replaced by NPC "pro qualifier" national events.
While the NPC national shows are great events, the main goal now is getting that pro card and starting your BB career.
When I started , back in the 70's , winning your state meet was the big goal for most guys along with going for Mr America .
Sure, a few guys went to Venice Beach and lived in a van so they could just train , but not that many .
Now , every musclehead and bikini bimbo is banking on the idea of an IFBB pro career.
Once they obtain a national win they whine of they don't get a big contract .
Sure it is tough to fit in training and diet when you work full time
But for most of working slobs that is exactly what we do.

Just like the movie with Mickey Rourke " The Wrestler"
Ironic how Arnold is the icon of bodybuilding and yet so few follow his example of how to work hard OUTSIDE the gym to make it.
I worked hard at my edcuation and career and in building a new relationship with a wonderful woman.
If you only work at bodybuilding, when you hang up your truks that's all you have .

Tell it like it is, SNX. I should imagine that a lot of the so-called "pros" were attracted to competitive bodybuilding, and were/are so willing to take boatloads of drugs, because of the slacker lifestyle. Then, again, if this is true, a lot of "pros" aren't the kinds of people that would light the private or public sector on fire with their intelligence, imagination, resilience, and talent (whoring and G4P doesn't count). Be a man, indeed! Good post!

LOL @ "buying a 400k house"...

bodybuilding is a hobby, not a profession and should remain as is. 400k is peanuts these days, maybe not for 18-22  $/hourers on here but I cannot imagine anyone making under 80-100k in their 30's. if not failed massively and should reconsider what you're doing with your life.

I have an idea. Why doesn't he get a job? Like the rest of humanity. You know, the kind of thing you go to, 9 to 5, that maybe you don't always like, but sometimes you do, that gives you some money. And there's a boss, and you do what they say, and you work hard, and you get a paycheck that pays bills.

I refuse to believe that bodybuilding is so fucking hard that you can't hold down a 9 to 5 job.

Ever heard of Ken Brown? Won the USAs and turned pro. All while working a 10hour shift in a factory starting at 6 am. He'd hit the gym at 3 am, go to work, come home, raise his family, and still did shows. Didn't hear about him losing his house.

How about Ronnie? He had a house, and paid his bills, and even when he was winning shows, still held down a full time job as a cop.

How about Porter Cottrell? Won a bunch of shows, and still had a career as a firefighter.

So you can be a pro, even a good one, and hold down a job.

So, you know what, it is possible to hold down a job. He doesn't need to be an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. Get a job with the city digging ditches. Get a job in an old age home cleaning bedpans. Christ, just be a personal trainer.

Nope, instead, he's a bum now. Welched on his debts. And I'm supposed to feel pity? Be a man, and get a job. It's 10 pm, and I'm still working. Because I have a family, and I care, and it's the right thing to do. Don't see me launching a woe-is-me youtube video about my lot.

I have zero empathy. And a mild disdain.

Most of those guys are mentally ill. They have to have their own business and not deal with too many people outside of bodybuilding. You ever see one of these mofo's out of the gym? They can't walk 20 feet without looking for their own reflection somewhere. This includes shadows on the street. It's as if they've been cursed and can't get out of their own skin.

(http://patdollard.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/120918104433_Carlos-Romero1-600x350.jpg)



Apparently, when you're arrested for jacking off with a donkey, you want to do your best to make sure the case gets as much publicity as possible. So Carlos Romero decided to give a jailhouse interview and has apparently left several comments across the web defending his love for his donkey.

Romero wants his donkey back and claims that sex and emotional intimacy with animals is preferable because humans are just horrible.

As we noted yesterday, Romero was arrested up in Marion County over the weekend after he was found fingering his pet donkey and rubbing his nether regions up against it while pleasuring himself. At the time of his arrest Romero said that Florida was "backwards" for looking down on zoophilia.

Well, Romero isn't done talking.





From Ocala.com:

    He said he has always felt an attraction toward animals, especially horses, because people have been known to "stab you in the back, give you diseases, lie to you" and are "promiscuous." Animals, he said, "are usually there for you" and "do not seek other pleasures." Their feelings are "100 percent honest," he added.

Uh, yes, sometimes humans are horrible to each other. Welcome to Life 101.

But, you know, anytime I'm going through a breakup or something I don't think to myself, "You know what, maybe I should just fuck a horse." Nope. Doesn't cross my mind. Usually I think, "You know what, maybe I should drink half this bottle of vodka." God gave us alcohol to deal with people lying to you. Not animal sex.

Romero, 31, admitted that he's been having sex with horses since he was 18, but said he hasn't fully consummated his relationship with the donkey yet "because she's blooming into maturity."

Romero is also pissed because his donkey has since been taken away from him.

"I want my donkey back. There's got to be due process here. I paid $500 for her," he told a judge on Tuesday morning.

Marion County officials are petitioning the court for custody of the animal, and plan to put it up for adoption.

Romero (or at least someone using his name) has also been making several comments on a Huffington Post story about his arrest.

"Have you ever seen a jack donkey? even the miniatures would put the most well hung pornstar to shame," he wrote in one comment.

"The issue at hand will not be having sex with animals, it will be bedroom privacy. If I get convicted then all Floridians expectation of privacy will be effectively nullified," he wrote in another.

That would have been true if I had used the typical bodybuilding amounts and I didn't.
I used various steroids  one at a time, from 1983-86.
For example, I would use 1 shot of decca per week for the last 8 weeks before and show.
That helped me stay on course when in pre contest mode.
I  used 2- shots per week of Winsitrol V ( 3ml per shot). I found this helped get me cut faster but added no mass.
I never combined aka stacked drugs and took the "minimum doseage" similar to my HRT Androgel, I now use.
I am pretty sensible guy and never got any side effects but I never pushed the envelope.

So you dabbled with steroids never really got bigger from their use then entered the biggest show of you life clean?

I have always been 100% candid and honest about my own drug use in BB .
In AUG of 1986, I decided to stop any and all steroid use for a variety of personal reasons.
The main reason was a need to save money to go back to school and complete my degree , which I did.
The Jr USA was held in Raliegh, NC in late April of 1987. This was about 70 miles from where I lived.
I already had plans to move to KY and go back to school that AUG, so I decided to compete once more .
Many of my gym buds were going to compete or go watch so I wanted to be part of it.
I would not had competed if the contest required me to spend money and travel.
I simply wanted to compete at a national level show and see how I matched up , on my own terms.
I weighed in at 195.5 lbs and looked pretty good. C'mon , I looked decent but I wasn't that impressive.
I'll take it as compliment for those that think I had to juice to achieve the look I had in my posted pics.

Unlike a lot of guys who compete, I did for mostly personal reasons.
I quickly lost any desire to go pro or go for  bodybuilding, no holds barred.
I'm being as honest and open as I can be, if some choose to think it "BS", then, so be it.

Once again, I was off on AUG 1986 and competed in late April of 1987 ( the pics w red trunks).
I won't try to change your ind since you are already convinced I was juiced.
Instead I will thank you for saying I look too good to be off the juice in my posted pic.
Lastly, I was only 196 at 5'10", hardly a massive freak ya know ;)

bodybuilding is a hobby, not a profession and should remain as is. 400k is peanuts these days, maybe not for 18-22  $/hourers on here but I cannot imagine anyone making under 80-100k in their 30's. if not failed massively and should reconsider what you're doing with your life.

I owe 25K on my 400K house, not that hard to have and keep a job and pay a mortgage.
(Tough for those who lose jobs obviously).
Pro bodybuiders = douch bags...

I like Jose and have been a fan of him , since his days as an NPC national level contest winner.
Let's all get real and put some things in perspective on his situation.

1. Plenty of people have had to short sell or been forclosed on when it came to their house.
Like plenty of others , he was in a home that he really couldn't afford on the avg month.
For the past few years, being forclosed on for an expnesive mortgage is nothing that new or rare.

2. Even under the best circumstances, break ups can happen in any serious relationship.
* I have been divorced 3x but refused to give up and will marry #4, next month.

3. Bodybuilding was never meant to be a viable, lucrative career path for many pros.
Only a handful of top pros ever make a decent living off it.
A rare few , like Bob Chick find a unique niche within bodybuilding and do well.

4. I have seen plenty of folks pursue careers  on everything from acting to personal training and struggle to get by.
FYI, education and degrees alone are no gurantee for success. You need a viable career path and ability to work in your field.
Teaching chemsitry and physics isn't that exciting a career LOL. But I knew I could be decent at it and make a , secure living with it.
FYI, Issac Newton and Einstein never made a lot of $$, but their ideas changed the world we live in.

5. Jose pursued his dream of being a pro bodybuilder. He is now getting ready to be  a top contender for the 212 Olympia showdown.
He is living a spartan lifestyle without a lot of creature comforts and nice things, but so what?
Monks live a spartan , celebit lifestyle and gave up all worldly things for their spirtual journey.
Henry David Thoreau wrote a classic novel about his meager, basic lifestyle near Walden Pond.
He wanted to live a deliberate lifestyle , free from the normal constraints and trappings.
Jose Raymnd is living like a pure bodybuilding in hot pursuit of his biggest title to date.
I admire him for that dedication but understand the sacrifice.

All this pursuit of your dream is fine and dandy, until a personal disaster happens.
For example, I thank GOD, I had a good job with excellent health Ins , when I tore my achilles tendon.
I'm also greatful I had a nice home and loving fiance to go to after the surgery , who was there with me
during my recovery on crutches.
I wish Jose well and will cheer him at the Olympia as a fan. I will be happy for him if he does well in the 212 Olympia showdown.
As for me I admire but don't envy the avg pro. I traded that dream for one of personal security and very different lifestyle, many years ago.

well written. why do be people care if he dont have a ferrari and a big ass house, if this is what he want to do with his life then its up to him. He seems to enjoy  this lifestyle so more power to him

I won't try to change your ind since you are already convinced I was juiced.
Instead I will thank you for saying I look too good to be off the juice in my posted pic.
Lastly, I was only 196 at 5'10", hardly a massive freak ya know

Saying it twice still doesn't make it any more believable.
Either show a photo of you when on a cycle as opposed to you being off.
It should be easy shouldn't it?
You should be around 10% up on bodyweight and condition on as opposed to off.
I wont hold my breath though.

You obviously aren't getting the point it isn't about the Ferrari or big house I agree but the guy is mid to late 30's and doesn't even have a house to live, has to go live with his friend... He doesn't have his priorities right. A grown man that isn't responsible at that age and still trying to live the dream. Hopefully he doesn't have kids or if he does they're fucked. A man child mentality

Excellent points here. I think anyone should pursue their dream if they have a genuine passion.
I am bit confused why many claim they can't work a "normal job" and still be a  bodybuilder??
Ronnie was Mr Olympia 2 or 3 times over and still worked as a full time cop.
Arnold and Franco did all kinds of things to be a success outside the gym.

New pro, Kulco is still a full time fireman.

LOL, to maintain that level of bodyfat and abs would require full time diet and I enjoy a good meal too much hahaha.
To look like I did in the red trunks (Zane pose), required a very rigid diet and tunnel vision for 3-4 mos.
BUT, thanks for the positive words and I think the solution is to compete once a yr ( again).
By Nov , by achilles will be fully recovered and I can train 100% again.
If I ease into it right , I can maintain a decent, 16 week contest prep schedule and not quit.
They key for me is to look at it as a part time, once a year thing, NOT full time.
I would like to compete again next June , do a couple regional shows and call it a day for another year.

San Diego cops make $72000 after 3-4 years on the beat.  And rest assured San Diego isn't as hostile as Los Angeles.  On top of that they make their side hustles, so that puts them around $100k.

Ronnie didn't make as much in Arlington, but his fucking 120K 4bd room house, vette and pickup truck were attainable on $45K down there.

Oh, they have good benefits.

LOL, I weighed 175 lbs at 5'9" when I was 17 running track in high school.  ::)
Just how "special ed " are some of you guys when it comes to building muscle mass? seriously.

I hate to go negative but I just gotta get this off my chest.
Do you really belive it is impossible to compete at 195 lbs in contest shape without drugs? Really.
Do your genetics sucks THAT bad that it makes you think anything over 170lbs lean is "all drugs".
I'm not that good a bodybuilder and you folks act like I had some freakish mass that REQUIRED drugs?
Once again, it really does amaze me that some of you think I just had to use drugs to look like  I did > really?
Oh well, thanks I guess and it really isn't that big a deal to build the size I did.

The best juiced up pros are all 40, 50 or more lbs bigger and alot more impressive then I ever was.

i bet Jose cries himself to sleep every night on the carpet floor

No fear, many of us have done that, Platz as an example.

Ditto many of us even live at the gym, it's a lifestyle thing ;-0

Yea around here that would buy an amazing home.. but in NYC i've seen  1/2 bedrooms apts in brooklyn for that much lol
i am not saying that i dont want to live in large expensive house in Beverly hill if i could i would or may be i am living large enough for most of people but i will not beat myself to death if i am living in 2 bed apartment while other people living luxury life style.having lots of money does not hurt but i dont think its necessary to have happy and fulfilling life.
very few people have balls to chase their dream specially in sports.u have heard tiger wood making millions but have you ever heard about the guys who lost in the way.
pro bodybuilders are making decent living while doing what they love to do.

Do your genetics sucks THAT bad that it makes you think anything over 170lbs lean is "all drugs".
I'm not that good a bodybuilder and you folks act like I had some freakish mass that REQUIRED drugs?
Once again, it really does amaze me that some of you think I just had to use drugs to look like  I did > really?

LOL, I was just making a getbig rant, no more, no less.

I would urge anyone to do their own personal experiment with a moderate cycle of drugs and see what they can and can't do. I would also advise them to see what is possible by eating and training without drugs.
The top pros all run extreme amounts combined with rare genetics that have a freakish response to:
training, diet, and yes drugs. Most of us ( me included) won't get the same response from lifting eating and steroids that the elite pros do.
In all modesty my genetics for bodybuilding may be above avg. BUT, my response to moderate drug use wasn't that good. I suspect some rare guys would blow up more on the small, single drug cycles I used back in the mid '80's.

Ive tried mega dosages of shit (around 2grms total), but I was puffy and uncomfortable. You CAN make decent gains on moderate shit. For me, thats 500mgs of test and 400 mgs of tren. I could do more but I HATE taking shots. But guys think more is better. But if your genes suck, it doesnt matter how much you take

LOL, I weighed 175 lbs at 5'9" when I was 17 running track in high school.  ::)
Just how "special ed " are some of you guys when it comes to building muscle mass? seriously.

I hate to go negative but I just gotta get this off my chest.
Do you really belive it is impossible to compete at 195 lbs in contest shape without drugs? Really.
Do your genetics sucks THAT bad that it makes you think anything over 170lbs lean is "all drugs".

Weight has nothing to do with it. Frank Zane was all geared up at 185.

LOL, the first time I saw Lee Preist in person at the 1994 Arnold, that is exactly what I thought.
He had that really bright blonde hair and the "pro tan/bronzer" gave his skin this orange tinge under normal light.
Lee had on this baggy sweat suit and at his ht with all that mass, and orange skin , he looked like a juiced up
Oompa- Loompa.
No offense to Lee Priest , but it was a funny thought/visual image.

I would imagine that Tito has already helped him out as much as he is going to.


"Helping" and "Enabling" are two different things ~

cops are well paid

but their "work" doesnt contribute to the economy or even safety

Without Cops, how safe do you think society would be?
