Irish BB Show in Waterford: TOTAL PRICE FOR WINNER!!! 500 Euros

[Stark]

I'm not kidding, saw the poster yesterday, Dennis Wolf is guest posing.
But I was very surprised with the overall win of 500 Eur, i have never competed or seriously thought about what it takes financially to
compete on any show or level, but you don't need to be a Nazi rocket scientist to figure out that 500Eur will not balance you checkbook.
Granted they are not Professionals... but still,

[webcake]

yeah its dissapointing

Theres the Australian championships on sunday here in Sydney. I have no idea what the winner would get

[Stark]

i mean in fairness I'm amazed they have any money to give away, all the BB shows I have seen (unless I'm horribly mistaken) the winners get a thropy and that's it, no free Protein or Supplements at all.

Yeh, doesnt really give much incentive to bust your arse for months only to get a trophy...

[IronFan]

When I was in Ireland I couldn't find a Snickers bar for protein, let alone a protein bar.

I had a supplement store on my street when I lived in Dublin. The gyms were shit tho. Way too expensive, or pussy coroprate type gyms. I trained at the YMCA 

[RYAN1]

Yeah you trained where the Homeless live...Made you feel at Home?

[240 is Back]

that's good compared to 99% of the amateur shows in the USA, where prize money is zero.

Amateurs usually don't get anything (except maybe a 750 gr. protein powder and a 2 $ medal)

When was the contest. I have been working a lot of hours over the last 2 months so haven't been keepin up to date. Was wolfe in ood shape. I met him at the olympia last year. His size was ridiculous. What was the standard like.

Luke, i never replied to your message from way back, sorry. I train in westwood leopordstown although i'm lucy if i get there a couple of times a month at the moment. I used to train in UCD crunch when i studied there. I'm sure i met you and spoke to you a couple of times about bodybuilding. You used to train sometimes with a guy who was a magician i think.

regards,
the Doc

What does Chic say about this show.  Did all those people who entered just ruined their chances of a future in the IFBB and making a living out of BB.  And an IFBB member supporting a non-sanctioned event.  bad boy that guy,
