OK,I stand corrected.
You made it sound like anyone could do it, while there are tons of national level competitors who look awesome, and have been trying for a card for years and years, but will sadly never get one even though some deserve to.
Some folks here are so delusional that they think if they megadose tons of gear, and add in GH and insulin,that a pro card is inevitable, when the fact is they are dreaming as it takes much more than that.
My bad!
i agree, but i think politics and "money/unwillingness to use extreme dosages" limits a lot of guys. 20iu a day gets thrown around constantly around here but if anyone has ever added up just how much that costs a year, it's as much as a used car, not many people who aren't 100% driven to becoming pro will run those kinds of dosages or be willing to spend that money on gear. not to mention the dosage will go up even more when someone is growing into a show.
the politics definitely plays a big role in it too, or maybe it's just luck, but there are a lot of guys who to me, while they are definitely huge, they don't really look that great or have the genetics but are extremely good at pre-contest cycling to give the illusion of being much bigger than they are. i think most people, barring the extremely genetically unlucky, can theoretically do both of those if they are driven enough, but the amount of effort and dedication it takes with shitty genetics to accomplish a pro-card is going to prevent most of those ungifted people from ever accomplishing it unless it's their only and main goal in life where they are willing to do anything and everything that it takes to get it.
training always gets ignored here but i think it's really important to building a foundation for the gear to work on. i don't think i've ever seen a thread on this board about methods of training, but i guess most of that stuff is pretty intuitive and giving it full intensity is the pinnacle of what you can really do in a gym to grow.
