IFBB pro card is a joke . you can compete, promote and even win the damn Olympia ...and they won't give a flying Fak'....
look what they did to IFBB legend Chris Dickerson while on his dying bed IFBB couldn't afford a single visit or call .


WooooSHHHHHHHHHHHHH

G*d Damn, thats sad. So they pay a fee to the IFBB for their pro card. But for every contest don't they still have to pay an entrance fee too?

So what does the IFBB do? Ever see their website? Do they have any publications? Provide insurance or healthcare?

Of course they must secure the venue's for the contests, pay their judges, pay promoters (honestly what tf does a bodybuilding promoter do? A few tweets, a few posts on IG, maybe some posters or tee-shirts? Reach out to the supplement companies to advertise their shitty products?)

Exactly what does a bodybuilder get from the ifbb? Your typical 'social media influencer' can generate more revenue than an average mid tier pro.

Don't think the IFBB is there to wipe their arses for them or bale
them out when things get tough.
Plus Dickinhisarseson was as bent as bent could be.

why bother competing at older age when you're so much worse from your prime

just lift for fun and get other hobbies to occupy your time

He who has an IFBB pro card, Mike O'Hearn as favorite natural bodybuilder and a baseball cap of the Colorado Rookies,
has NOTHING


WooooSHHHH Fak that noise

Because it feels good and, if you do it right, it’s healthy. So what if other people think it’s a bit weird, screw them. A lot of what humans do is weird. Plus it is GREAT to fit in the slimmest waist clothes. Opens up the whole closet and the best clothing purchases from the past. Competitions are a no brainer way to get there.

Live and let live. People do what they want. It's hard to leave something that is part of your identity. But I'd say competetive bodybuilding at older age does more harm than good. Simular to aging MMA fighters. But in a different way for them(CTE)

Well yes, the drugs can bite worse than when you’re younger (maybe you need to be on the “natural” side of the spectrum) and the muscle and joint wear and tear can be a strong negative. But come on. Anywhere as near a negative as with the population at large? What are the two things doctors beg older male patients to do? Don’t be fat! And PLEASE weight train! For bone and muscle health, disease prevention, anti-inflammatory, etc. If you still look decent, getting up on stage in a thong is one way to go about it.

Had Ronny competed this past weekend at the Master's O he would have been the only relevant BB at the show,

Sad no legends want to do the Master Olympia no more

Maybe next year?

WooooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
