why do 99 % percent of pro bb without children/family?

[Blockhead]

Blockhead -

Spend some time thinking more long term + why you are doing what you r doing.

Many surgeons have seen their marriages + lives disintegrate because of their obsessive love of operating.

Ditto for businessmen + making $$$$$$.

Good luck.

Thanks, doc!  I know why I do this...it's because I refuse to look like everybody els and I love looking and being just a little bit different not to mention...I genuinely love to train and push myself and see what I'm made of come contest time.

 I'm not that bad actually...I know guys who make me look like Ned Flanders. I know BB's...locals, never won a weight class who don't even hold a job down and refuse to work and live like vagabons, nickle/diming gear and using 'thier girlfriends' car and bumming money and food off whoever will give it to them because they can't let a pesky day job hold them back. I'm telling ya!

 I hold a fulltime job down and always have. PLUS...I want more out of life but make no mistakes about it...BB will have a spot in my life somewhere and somehow. After my competition days are over...I want to prep and guide competitors or write for some entity somewhere or somehow.

 Great Thread BUT i have my Govorment job which is morning till 2pm.. and 3pm till 8pm in the gym doing my personal training, and my training plus eating every 2.5hrs... my wife works and we got 2 lovely kids...
and now i am doing even better in Pro level   but i gree with u coz some Pros r doing bodybuilding for living and cant earn much from it to support a family or having a kids or even getting married   thats when he is an IFBB Pro 

 

[bmacsys]

garraeth,

 S My main goal in the BB world is to win my weight class in a local show...qualify for nationals and get on a national stage...once. Just so I can say I did it. Then again...I'm so fkn nutty if I do get to taste that expierence I might want to keep getting up on that stage and go farther and farther. I'm a peddle to the metal kind of guy and I'm the kind of guy that doesn't know the meaning of the word 'die'. I never say it.

Good luck to you blockhead. I think once you meet your goal and get on that national stage you are going to be even more driven. From listening to you I don't see you quitting until you decided your as far as you can go in this sport.

[gh15]

just wondering this why 99 percent of all pro bb dont' have children, for those few that are married? i'm not talking just about cutler,coleman, and the top 10 pros in the world, i'm talking even within the top 50 pros in the world.

reasons 1) pro bb is about me, me,me 2) not enough money to support a family unless you are a top 10 pro 3) not enough time to care and pay attention to 1 baby/child, much less more 4) perhaps certain side effects have left most of the pro's how should i say incapable of fathering children in the first place

i only know of dugdal and rusty jeffers who have kids, and i'm not even going to go with jeffers and his how should i say past and what he will tell his kids when they grown up, how daddy had another name he used  and what daddy used to do for money! laugh

oh yeah, how come most of the pros women whether they are married or just thier girlfriends are not very attractive, gunter's new woman kim lyons being a very sole exception!

golden rules for a bodybuilder inorder to keep a hot woman for life:

1. always control your woman past the initial 3-6 months falling inlove period. be in control! she gotta know youre  the man and she is the woman,,even if on the outside youre a feminist let her have her time but she always gotta know that youre the final say. especially if she is AMERICAN!

2. train her from  the beggining to go get groceries and also get her to cook at times even if shes young and hot. . inject it to them slowly during the initial 6 months. you must train them to do it,,,otherwise they will always be lazy bitches think the world evolve around them.... dont get scared because she is pretty and have perky boobies,,bubble butt and few other guys want her,,she wont go nowhere if you know how to handle her. hot women are very insecure and will do anything for the guy who knows how to handle them.

3. its exteremly hard to find a girl that takes all the shit we do. she got to be uniqe! she got to be giving! she got to be single with no kids! and she cant be fake! the industry is full of fake hoes,,stay away from them,,,they will never make a good girlfriend. stay loyal! to the girl who loves you,,,do not play around with the industry's bimbos.

4. she cant and shouldnt adore muscle and size. if she want you for your body,,,fuck her once and throw her from the third floor window

5. NEVER! beat her up. saying youre fat/getting fat or saying bitch is one thing,,,raising your hand will make her leave you forever.

[Blockhead]

 I DISAGREE with everything you said, gh. Well...almost.

 Bottom line is THIS: Treat a woman with genuine respect and make her feel like an equal...she will HATE your guts and be so bored with you she'll slit your throat and go fuck the first no job having pot smoking loser zero thug who abuses her behind your back.

 Treat a woman like a BITCH...they will fight for your affection and worship the ground you walk on.

All drugs.

[Captain Equipoise]

 8 meals/day 6 days/week. Gave her my list with measurements (for example: Meal 1: 1/2 cup ground oatmeal mixed in 1 meal replacement with 16oz water + liquid creatine + 5mg glutamine. Meal 2: 1 chicken breast, 1/2 cup rice, 2 tbl spoons Flackseed oil). She mixes it all up and delivers 3 days worth at a time.

Awesome.

I'm in the exact same situation, except all my meals are lovingly prepared by my girlfriend... she makes my meals twice a week, on wed. and sat's 

[Voice of Doom]

To much juice has blown the nodes to have kids...

and


if you primp and pose in front of the mirror more than the lady...lady goes away.

[Alex23]

What Shawn says is true. Let's examine TheBlockHead for a second...bare with me people it's to shine more light on Shawns theory.

 TheBlockHead Himslef has only done 3 shows but has been living the lifestyle to it's fullest for the past 5 years. I mean to the FULLEST. My life revolves around my protein consumption and being in a positive nitrogen balance. I will never go pro nor would I ever imagine doing so...I just love this stuff and have fun prepping for a show and prepping others. ALL my money after important stuff is out of the way goes to groceries, and eating out constantly. Just last week...I bought a Swiss Army Watch...set me back about $80 and I had buyers remorse for about 2 days all over a punk ass watch...because I started to believe that $80 could have bought me a weeks worth of red meat and chicken breast and bag of potatoes and I almost brought it back.

 Most serious competitors I know are all divorcees and the ones that are married are in really disfunctional relationships. I read about guys like Dugdale and I don't know how he does it. I'm trying to keep it together but the 'spirit' of bodybuilding has got ahold of me and I don't know if I will defy the odds or become another statistic. Bb is my love and passion...but also my worst enemy.

I respect what you're saying there BLockhead. In my case, much like Garreath I went the career route first putting bodybuilding on the shelf for a couple of years came out at 26 with a MS in Computer Science but looking like a shit. Took me 3 years to bounce back from it. Now I have the financial resources and very limited time. But even at 120k+ in income, huge part of it goes into BB. But I'm getting results.

That being said,I'm way to selfish to think about kids even close to my 30's with a giant girlfriend with the biological clock that goes "TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK"....   

[LASTREP72]

Shawn, enlighten me...

Did you pull a lot of quality babes back in the day?  You had the look at the style.  Speak on this.

I remeber Shawn was on some talk show - Opra, Montel, or one of those as one of the "best catches for a single person" so I guess dude got his fair share of hot ass

[HowieW]

Has it ever occurred to you that not every single person on the planet wants kids?  i am not saying every pro.  but i can guarantee you there are some that just don't want kids.

Like me and my wife. I could be in a different sport, like poker or fart blowing and still not want kids, who knows?
Maybe all the juice makes their jizz like dishwater and they end up shootin' blanks LOL

[UpTheDosage]

Tom,

tons of IFBB pros have kids. u r a douche bag.

hope this helps

[french mistake]

Most pros are so self absorbed that the thought of a kid spitting up his Gerber on the gym bag, or toddler hand prints on the mirror would send them into a panic/frenzy.

The others are gay.

Although said a bit too harsh, it is kinda true. I also found that women like to be dominated. Not that you have to treat her like shit and kick her 'round the house, but they wanna feel that confidence and strength. And those women who argue otherwise are either lying or haven't grown up yet.
I think it doesn't matter what man does, as long as he is confident, goal-oriented, and keeps his cool, women will admire that.

 I've been married a little over a year now and the #1 subject of fights between TheBlockHead and Mrs.Blockhead has to do with me never being home(training, tanning, training someone els, meeting up w/ someone els I'm prepping to see their progress for an upcomming show, picking up and dropping off and slingin gear, grocery shopping, eating out somewhere etc...) and my INABILITY to 'give and take' and compromise. NEVER, not even once in a while take another day off from the gym to do something with her...if there is a family function...I will absolutley REFUSE to go and Mrs. BlockHead is flying solo because "they" will only have hotdogs and hamburgers and beer over there...PLUS...I gotta meet so and so at the gym..."they're 3 weeks out...he/she needs me!"

 When I am off work...I refuse to do ANYTHING outside my norm of pickup/deliveries, train, nap, tan, cook, eat, nap and be a slug on the couch or bedroom because..."I am regenerating and growing''. I am so on the go, go go all the time never stopping I can't even clean out my car because it's FILLED with gym clothes, tupperware everywhere, wrappers from protein bars, empty water bottles, crusty old shaker cups and resturaunt recipts and Subway plastic bags, weightbelts, magazines, old newspapers, wrist straps, spilled gym chalk and more tupperware.

 I'm just a local NPC competitor in Chicagoland who hasn't even won his weight class yet and I'm having a hard time handling my life and marriage. I'd reckon in the higher levels of competition it's even WORSE and more difficult.

 Most serious competitors I know are all divorcees and the ones that are married are in really disfunctional relationships. I read about guys like Dugdale and I don't know how he does it. I'm trying to keep it together but the 'spirit' of bodybuilding has got ahold of me and I don't know if I will defy the odds or become another statistic.

WOW, this is both fascinating AND extremely sad 
All of this for a trophy, not even any cash prizes. I'd say some re prioritizing is in order.

Classic BB blockhead. No one else finds this self-absorbtion interesting-allocate a little time each week to getting away & outside of the dogma or start interviewing divorce lawyers. You're the problem, from what's been described.
