Adam let's say that your dynamic personality and charisma, coupled with your physique, won this year's rendition of the MD Online muscle classic, putting $10,000 in your bank account. Now, let's say that the next year, the competition evolved to develop and worked to demonstrate many of the same winning qualities you exhibited the year before, to the point to where your gaining 3 pounds of quality muscle and losing 1 more percent's worth of bodyfat on last year's winning physique might STILL NOT make up for the other hollistic sort of gains your competition learned to develop through their more intellectual capacities. And we're not even mentioning the introduction of "new blood" into the competitive fray. At what point would doing, let's say, one cc of 50 mg winny a week become justifiable, especially if the prize money, due to the competition's following and sponsorship having increased since last year's having been a success, increased to, let's say $15,000.
This process has played out over many, many years, in many, many varieties of competitive endeavors, over history, in many, many civilizations up to this point. You are not going to change the natural course of human behavior. This is why the most competitive natural organizations would always eventually turn into the IFBB. The PDI, if it did eventually take over the IFBB, would eventually become "the new IFBB." Same shit, different name. Look, in the long run, none of this bodybuilding stuff is about the money, anyway. Who's gonna let a nationally distributed magazine NOT run their picture on the cover of it if they refuse to pay them money for it? NO ONE. 99% of the people in the sport would actually PAY THEM to put them on the cover...or just in a training article, for that matter. So all the bitching about how they're not duly reimbursed for their "contributions" to the magazines is bullshit anyway, if you ask me...I'm rambling now, but you get my point. You, nor anyone else, is gonna create anything different in this industry that hasn't been tried already. It's always the same thing, just with a revolving door of somewhat different people in control. We should all just concentrate on building the kind of look we appreciate looking in the mirror at the most, that we perceive to serve us best, in the lives we choose to lead.
