Title: Pros and cons of being a top bodybuilder?
Post by: Howard on December 17, 2005, 02:25:46 AM
Sadly, unlike the big sports, of football, baseball, basketball, tennis, golf and soccer, pros in bodybuilding don't make millions of dollars. They work hard, even take risks for a paltry paycheck compared to other sports. I suspect they are in bodybuilding because they love it and it is the sport they had some talent for.
What do you think some of the good vs bad things about  being a pro are?

Pro - you can get away with wearing circus clothes and fanny packs in public because you have excuse of "hard to find clothes that fit".

Cons -  Organ failure, financial failure, hair failure, steroid side effects like ugly tattoo appearing on your body, sexual conquests consist of banging fitness chics with clits bigger than your dick and a deeper voice than yours (more hair too), breath smells like tuna all the time, loss of friends due to protein farts, internet meltdowns triggered by teenagers, hearing Nassar complain about you placing ahead of him.

good = get to be a pseudo-celeb idolized by teenagers who don't know any better and middle-ages fanboys like Howard.  Get 5 big blue stars on Getbig.com.

bad = no money, gay-for-pay, drugs, no self-respect, failing health, no life, no future, dealing with kidney thieves.

That sums it up!

Good = being able to sell your soiled posing trunks for big dollars

Bad = "needing" to sell your soiled posing trunks for said big dollars



ps...is it just me or do people (myself included) tend to overuse the whole "soiled" term in relation to this and that posing trunks, undergarments....I've noticed it lately on the rise.  How come we use 'soiled' all the time?...hahaha!

Pro's= FUN AS FUCK!@!!!!!!


What better job could you possibly have? Sauce, lift, eat, sleep repeat. There ya go. You get a small ass pay check to pay your rent, groceries, 200 spending cash and a few extra bucks to throw into savings. The rest of the time you're eating what you want, lifting when you want and sleeping when you want. What other job could offer such a lifestyle? So, it's not alot of money, but don't forget...bodybuilders don't really do much .
