Would you give up bodybuilding for money per se?

[gtbro1]

  I'll take the money...money CAN buy you happiness.

[candidizzle]

Agree, well said.

another wise man is amongst us.

I quit my job to live the dream. I'm sleeping in my Kia in front of Gold's Gym Venice and take sink baths in a Burger King bathroom.

You're focused.  I like that.

Remember, you can always get a real job and a real house and a real car.  You'll probably live to be 70 or 80.  But your window for bodybuilding success is only for another 18 to 22 years.  So do everything you can to get your Pro card now. 

Let the haters in their homes laugh now.  When you have the perks of being a pro - a $13k contract with BSN and a really nice room at an older friends' house - they won't be laughing then.

How many Ronnies are there, vs. how many kids out there who squander their future for the bodybuilding dream?  DId you miss the sarcasm in my post?

sgt d, let the hatred go, man.

Not hating at all. I forgot you know how much money these companies give out. I see you are "intheknow"

Ronnie is only one out of many.

Is there something "gtbro1"?

[gtbro1]

Is there something "gtbro1"?

was just pointing out that while Ronnie is successful there are many others who aren't.

I'm giving it up after my show today for nothing

Thought you melted and left, Coach?

[omg]

No. It is a stress reliever and I think I might kill someone if I couldn't do it regularly. There are just too many assholes looking for a punch in the face to give it up.

Hahaha I REALLY hear you there!

Just doing a front double biceps in front of the mirror makes me happy because i am such a stud! 

its quite a dilemma.

  MONEY> BODYBUILDING

[sync pulse]

Lets say you found a better paying job but it requires you to give up bodybuilding because of frequent overtime?

would you?

yes or no

I would alter your bodybuilding goals into what can be done in the timeframe you have. 
I would skip the computer surfing, and try to time manage your gym time for the greatest effect.
Let Freakfestmd lead you. He does very well with the short time he has for it.

How ever, this is pot and kettle talk, I am a terrible time waster myself.
I have noticed that weight trainers that make good use of their time tend to be successful monetarily.

You are talking like someone that will never find peace of mind.
Poor people in India, china, Africa talk like that.
I want to be rich!! Make business deals!!!! Work work make money!!!

A big percentage of the population have
enough money to create a happy life, they just don't know how to do it.

The biggest obstacle is their own brain.

More money and no training would just make my life worse.
The only thing I don't want to waste is my time.
Freedom to be able to choose where you want to
live and train.
Life is short very short.

I  don't need more money I actually sold my company so I can spend the rest of
my life being with my girl, train, travel and enjoy life.

If I kept it I would make more money but I would have to spend time working
and being stuck in one country.

Tease me with something more important and valuable than money and I might reconsider.

Where do some of you come up with this gay shit?  Go out, lift weights seriously, get a job, a life, and some friends, and I bet you won't sit around thinking up stupid shit like this.

  No...actually I am talking like someone who doesn't take this thread too serious.

..like soccer moms who put on ten lbs. of fat every year and then have a midlife crisis and are depressed..

[Captain Equipoise]

Does anyone have that classic Special Ed post 'a day in the life of a pro' archived anywhere? he pretty much hit the nail on the head with that one.

[Deicide]

Man, have standards gone down...what's this world coming to when the illiterate hack candied jizzle 'coasts into finals' with a 4.0...

[omg]
