Hello guys,
Im new to forum....
I was wondering how you can turn into a pro.I mean you must win 3 times your national ifbb championship(Im from a European country)?
Then, when you take your pro card you must be a us citizen in order to compete in usa?
And finally to which shows are you able to compete?
Thanks a lot....

Well, i think it would be a smart move to say "Fuck you" to this guy, that way coming to the U.S. will be easier.

Do they not have google over where you're from? Or do you just want someone to do your homework for you?

Either a) Get a job that pays a fortune, or b) take out a massive loan.
Then:- Buy a shedload of gear.

- Wait til' you're 280lbs of enhanced freak -

Then compete. If you're lucky you can become a respected pro who can earn enough doing guest appearances, etc. If you're unlucky the only way to earn enough $$ to keep you in the game will be to turn to g4p. Enjoy...

P.S. I don't really know.

Remember to do a lot of roids, then you'll turn pro by yourself eventually.

That's not true! Derek Anthony has been sucking cock for years and years, not only can he not turn pro, but he can't even convince a promoter of minor amateur shows to let him compete!!!

Maybe he's not as good as Ronnie.

If you are European it is quite difficult. You have to win nationals in your country (usually not drug tested) and then you qualify for European or World Championships. If you win worlds, you can turn pro. European..you can apply and maybe turn pro. The difficult part is that european or worlds are drug tested, which makes it a whole different contest.
Sometimes if you are top in your country and brown nose enough or pay you can by pass these procedures.

You are welcome.
It depends a lot from which country you are but it is never wrong to be friendly with people in the national federation...
Good luck

Priest and Yates and a few others turned pro via winning their national champs(several times), and their national federation applying to the IFBB.

I think to be accepted you have a ritual ceremony, and you gotta take someone out too.

The Worlds route is like roulette, even Ronnie Coleman struggled there.

1. superior response to hormones
2. money to buy these hormones
3. base base base,,you gotta have somewhat of a foundation before you start hormonizing yourself
4. lots of free time and food
5. stable relashionship with a woman that can accept being second to lifting for the time being,,or simply stay single

What was your route like gh15, quick, or lots of lower level shows?

Armageddon · « **Reply #18 on:** January 29, 2007, 10:16:00 AM »

Get a recommendation from your local federation to the IFBB and you will turn pro with out winning anything

Pros down play the gear cause it makes em uncomfortable knowing how much it really matters..

a good contact is about as hard to come by as good genes Tom.. $:-\$

It matters as much as it matters to the 100% of pro's that are on the same level playing field....so it's basically irrelevant.

Don't the rich ones have a less leve playing field than the poor ones?

I'm guessing a "pro" on mag covers winning 3 shows a year isn't on the same level as a "pro" who can't place top 10 at NY Pro.

Is there a huge level of quality difference in what a little money, and a lotta money, can get ahold of?

No...you're missing the point.

Taking more gear doesn't equate to a better BB...in most cases...it equates to a worse one.

Genetics have always been, and will always be, the determining factor. Genetics of shape, etc...genetics of response to the gear, and genetics of response to training.

All the gear in the world doesn't make narrow structure, wider...or a naturally wide wide waist, smaller.
