Are you speaking from experience?  So technically they are getting paid 5,000 junior bacon cheeseburgers if my math is correct.

If this "bodybuilding" hobby is so "dumb" then why do you spend all day between shifts at Wendy's posting and ripping aprat this hobby? 

5K is not bad winnings for a hobby that you love to do.

Hahaha...OK Junior Einstein, whatever you say.  ::)

Now go back to eating those 5K bacon cheesburgers, I am sure your physique shows the results of it very good.

It would cost you more to "prep" for this show than it's worth

Exactly-so why even do it????

If you do it for fun no problem, but at this level it is for the most part their livelyhood.

I also admitted to excessive Nubain use(not a good idea to post pic and admit to illegal activity).  If you would like to see me in person I work out at LA Fittness in Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33403 on Corner of Congress and Northlake.

Hahahahah... a "Nubian" addict that works out at "LA Fitness", you must be a beast.

Hey guys it's not about the money. It would be an honor or dream just to step on the Mr. "O" stage.  I would be  on cloud nine just to be apart of the 202lbs. class at the "O".  These guys bust there asses off to be the best in the sport and to showcase all of the hard work they have put in over the years. The prize money to me means jack shit, it's all about rocking and rolling on stage and being at your best! True competition.....

I have to admit a $7,000 1st prize for the biggest title in bodybuilding is probably the most embarrassing thing ever.


Hello? This is not the Mr. Olympia contest. It is a 202lb and Under Contest at the Olympia. There is a difference.  I think the Mr. Olympia contest prize money alone is $500K, with an additional $170K or so going to the three women's contests.

In addition, the Olympia 202lb and Under contest is being held in the Las Vegas Convention Center - South Hall, so there is no extra money coming into this event other than the expo cost.  So kodus to the promoters for actually putting on this contest, and letting the expo attendees see it for free.

You can be 7 foot tall and compete in this contest.  It doesnt say - Short Dudes. It says 202lbs and Under Class. And I am saying is that the Mr. Olympia contest is the best bodybuilding contest for the top rated competitors.

The 202lb and Under is a contest to showcase the competitors that do not wants to be judged on mass, but more on conditioning, and a good shape.  And yes, it is for the smaller competitors.  The NPC has seven classes to compete in. Here, we can showcase the competitor

And I do agree that as a competitor, you need to choose one or the other, but not compete in both on the same weekend.

yea but if short it's more likely that you weigh less.  I doubt anyone in that lineup is what anyone considers tall.

Wow...  that's almost as much as the winner of the Mr Getbig takes home!
does the getbig winner though get sponsorships or get noticed worldwide?  Dont think so.....when a company I Know sponsors someone they make money off the sponsorship not the winning look at david henry believe it or not he has a good life does not spend on a lambo like king kamali does or a hummer he knows his limits and wants to retire from the sport and be nice and free he gets most of his money from muscletech sponsorhip and the guy has not won a Mr. O or a major compeition for that fact.

I am flattered I you have enough time to research me.  Now you, are a pathetic loser with waaaayy too much time on your hands.  What gym do you train at?  Weights are weights I'm sure your broke ass cant even afford a membership, you must do pull ups down at the play ground after you get done walking home to your low income apartment builiding after your shift.

Dave will take the stage. Kevin English should be 2nd and Yaroslav Horvath looks good to deserve 3rd place. Jason or Ray may place 4th

Oh well that is different.  Then $7,000 1st prize at pro show is awesome then ::) ::) ::)  This makes it even more embarrassing.  These guys get to compete for basically no money at the Mr. Olympia yet it isn't really Mr. Olympia for them.  Wow pretty good for BB
