Does anyone know the website for the superbooth that was run by a guy named Rob Lawin?  I think that's his name, but he always had the superhero apparel and stuff at the npc shows.

These shots show him having some decent developement and conditioning... Nowadays he looks much "fuller".  Any shots of the more conditioned wrestlers, like Warrior, Bagwell, Poppa Pump, Savage?  Put 'em up for the fans.  I just saw the Backlash promo and thought of this... bored @ work.

PM me for contact  info. for MIH. Their on Full Potential Entertainment Records and putting together my custom music...  Really good stuff!

Pro Tan has worked for me...  But you'll need probly' 4 coats of it, really letting it dry between applications but not being afraid to shower.  Plus, avoid clumping by going to a craft store for soft sponge brushes.  It's what has worked for me, being sorta' fair myself...

Is that Cathy Lefrancois- Priest?  If so, she looks quite stunned even for a girl who believed LP could love her forever.  She's definitely go tthe goods.

I vote Vince Taylor...

That's something you might want to have looked at...  Actually, you're right and wrong about money in the sport.  In the sport itself, contest winnings for most are miniscule to non- existant.  However, the image you achieve through pursuing such a sport can prove to be very profitable- if not just fund your hobby.  Even fewer people have the ability to even do that, in say... basket weaving.  When I worked with PROLAB, Box Long coached me a bit on the life of a pro and suggested I take up golf because there was "no money in the sport".  I just refused to believe that, and I did what research I could to make things work for me.  Read "The Next Trillion" by Paul Zane Pilzer.  It talks about people positioned in the health and fitness industry being part of a $Trillion industry... there's plenty to go around.  If Jay cutler can spend $500/ week on sushi, you can figure out how to get paid to look good as a bodybuilder.

It was intended to give guys the peek behind the curtain that eluded me early on.  You don't have to "go pro" to be a professional.  Once you've created money, it gets much easier.  Credibility begets more credibility...  You could do it.

Just a note from an amateur you've probably never heard of that has done well, comparatively financially, as such.  I was signed as a Team PROLAB Athlete in 1999 for about $1000/ month plus $250 in supplements.  Local companies sponsored my tanning, registration, and accomodations.  I even managed to have a law firm in another state provide over $1500/ month for my food expenses in 2003.Also in 2003 I signed a 3 year deal with REEBOK.  I'm currently on a program similar to what I did with PROLAB for another fantastic company, and am weeks from signing with NESTLE, Patagonia, Rip Curl, and either NIKE or New Balance.  Endorsements are available.  Companies are looking for public faces to utilize for marketing.  It helps if you actually work out seriously and have some marketing goals for yourself as well.  Hope this is encouraging to somebody that wants to make it for themselves.

thanks guys, your reviews were helpful.  as for the lady doin' the numbers...  i move inanimate objects from point a-b.  i can count to 10, and i enjoy my sport with her support.  thanks again.

my wife said i could pick a bb dvd for vday.  i'm a cutler fan... new improved and beyond or ripped to shreds?  or another pick.  i'm big on off season training and guest posing, as i myself am a competitor. thanks

Mo,
 I worked 6 years @ a GNC franchise.  @ 19 I was contacted by an endorsement firm for some major name companies in our industry.  Hit me back @: christopher.ashby@kingsmill.com
we could use a guy like you.

Big Mike, I'm also considering the MO show on June 3rd.  What class?

Just because he's from Va don't mean he's got nothin' to offer...  I'm from Williamsburg, but it's not like we have drive-by pitch forkings.  Remember VA is where the "Dirty South" begins

Keep @ it.  Put the legs together, and remember to build a back the judges will remember.  How long have you been in the game? 

Has anyone here ever been to a demo @ a GNC/ Vita Shoppe/ or Gym w/ an amateur bodybuilder where they gave away free sample/ t's/ shakers?  Would there be any interest?  What would you want to see?
