Best of luck to Mike and Laura -- two serious bodybuilders with the DISCIPLINE, GUTS & DESIRE to compete.
99% of bodybuilders will never compete.
90% don't have the discipline to diet down.
8% don't have the guts to withstand public scrutiny of their physiques.
1% don't have the desire.
Only 1% step on stage.
Congrats to Mike & Laura for being that 1%.
Let's get realistic. Guts and discipline? Like it's courageous and honorable to compete in an event which requires zero skill and is reliant on extreme drug usage. This has to be the funniest post I've read on getbig.
If you choose to compete, that's great, knock yourself out. Take a bunch of drugs, do another hour of cardio a week, and compete...I could careless.
Put things into perspective though:
how many people compete without drugs?
how many have the genetics to warrant "competing"?
how many can conceive of spending $1000 on gear to win a $500 first place check?
Never confuse competitive bodybuilding with something honorable or having "guts". Fact is, 95% of people competing look like garbage and should discontinue their drug use, it only magnifies their poor physique. Usually, competing is a great way for most juicers to rationalize their illogical drug abuse, nothing more. It places a purpose behind a pointless action.
If someone is a natural competitor, they are more about pushing themselves to the limit, but still need validation from a judge, etc.
I personally have never had a desire to compete and only think about it when someone asks me, "Do you compete?" I think to myself, what would I gain by competing in a game of "who's cycle/genetics are best" But hey, it's great if you enjoy it. Do what makes you happy.
Here's an idea though, compete in something that requires talent. That is a true competition. Fighting, juggling, etc. Something that requires an actual skill.
actually I prefer fat Mike..he had a sense of humour then
humour - humor
