How many bodybuilders make any money at this game? I remember all my college buddies who were steroid bodybuilders 30 plus years ago. They were so wrapped up in buying bodybuilding drugs and training that they threw away the pursuit of a career. One made it out and is an attorney but the rest are out of shape losers now. How many "pros" have little or no way to generate income? There comes a time when you have to support a family and a house. If you spend your 20's and 30's buying bodybuilding drugs out of the trunk of car in the parking lot of your gym you will end up a loser. Train hard but forget about sticking a syringe in your ass.
