Would You Rather Be A Top IFBB Pro or the 12th Man On An NBA Bench?

stripping is very public, so that doesn't happen a lot. 

A lot of them do "hanging out" on the side, where they will spend time with clients.  Giving training and diet advice, go hanging out with the guy's friends so it looks like he's down with pro athletes, banging his woman in a 3way, letting dude crank one out, whatever.  Doesn't float my boat, but if two grown men want to trade money for time spent, it's their business.  You have kids selling crack on playgrounds and unsolved home invasion robberies that deserve the police resources far more than what two men do, harming no one.

thats more for top professionals, i just said bodybuilders in general.

IMHO... amateurs do it a lot more, since they can't even get scrub suppco deals, and are still hitting everything under the sun to overcome their genetic shotcomings that are keeping them amateurs.

if a guy is 30 and still not top 5 nationals, he doesn't have the genetics to be a pro.

yeah, but an amateur isnt going to go through all that hassle to keep a low profile. he doesnt even have a profile to keep low. there are tons of bodybuilders doing male stripping.  thats the look they want for that.

240 was talking about the guys on the end of the bench..the "12th man" ...they are walk-ons.  Most have one or two

Teams get 9 scholarships over a two year period barring any kind of NCAA violations.  Meaning most teams have 10-12 scholarship players at a time

A walk-on 12th man isnt going to be dressing out for a game as long as there are scholarship players there. ( assuming they are not red-shirts)

Even then a walk-on 12th man will still get more TV time than ANY IFBB Bodybuilder!

Man i rather play street ball for free then be top ifbb pro..i saw an interview with Vince taylor complaining that his been doing this loser "sport" for years and struggling to pay bills..Do you see Kobe bryant, Grant hill, Dwayne wade, Lebron james charging kids $20 for a autograph..

Bodybuilding is a great hobby, nothing better then having a great body, but to inject this, inject that, take this, take that, taper off this, water loading etc just to walk on stage, the hell with that, fucken strippers make more then that without all that hassle

Why is Taylor struggling to pay the bills, especially since he is (or was) one of the top bodybuilders in the business? Did he squander his money or make some bad business investments?

Did he have an unscrupulous accountant? Remember the R&B groug TLC. Their best-selling album sold 10 million copies, yet they had to file bankruptcy, because they were being fleeced by management. Making money is one thing....KEEPING THAT MONEY is quite another.

Yeah but you dont see alot of NBA players going broke and stripping on the weekends, Sure there a few that lose there cash. Combining all the NBA teams and they have around 400 players, not many of that batch go broke
