you got to have a lot more than hormones and hormone related products in yoru system in order to win a pro card,,atleast when it comes to npc,,
first and formost you got to have the muscle shape and phenominal response to hormones,,then you have to have symetry especially in the npc you got to have symetry and that thing you are either born with or not,,cant do shit about it
thirdly you got to live bodybuilding 24/7 that includes eating enough,,training right and heavy when needed and that includes knowing your body,,and ofcourse have enough money and time to get the muscle mass and condition needed,,and that takes time even if you have the all drugs in the world sit infront of you,,
dedication is a big must part of it
symetry is a must part of it
muscle shape is a must part of it
hormones and enough food for your personal lean muscle mass is a must part of it
but most importantly is to be open to critiqe! you have to always aim at improving yourself even if you think you are perfect,,there is no perfect,,bodybuilding is a cruel sport and in many cases you pay heavily for little mistakes wther its hormones,,training,,nutrition,,not knowing how to pose,,etc
bodybuilding is the only sport that if everything is not in tune 100% you simply lose,,you can have all the muscle mass in the world but if you got no symetry you will end up like greg k,,and greg k is a sucessful story since he did have what it take to get pro card,,there is a lot worse,,a lot worse!
