None of the above.

If anyone here over the age of 30 who has ever used gear was ever gonna turn pro they would have done it by now.

Any of the naturals on here - no chance.

Its not a question of what member has the potential........most do, id say 90% do, of course you have your goodrums and your avidans who have no chance, but for the most part almost all getbiggers have the potential, im just sure none want to take the necessary steps that it takes to get to that level.

I would disagree - this is where the role of genetics comes into play and explains why so few guys who lift weights in the gym will ever become pro bodybuilders.

Take myself as an example, I eat correct and consistently, sleep 8 hours a night, have access to as much gear and GH as I can afford, get the best training advice because I train at Temple Gym and can speak to Dorian whenever I want, and I've been doing this seriously for 13 years plus. So why am I not a pro? - because my genetics for suppressing myostatin take over and although I have built a fair amount of muscle (more than the average gym member), I still do not have the ability to even get to a national contest let alone turn pro. I have accepted a long time ago that I will never be a pro because the genetic factor simply isn't there and now I just lift weights for the fun of it. Simple as.

Exactly. And you are well above average in Getbig if we're talking physiques.

Flexington has competed himself, but like most people here, doesn't have a chance in hell of turning pro - I don't mean that as an insult. If guys like Hazbin and Spike can't become pro, what chance do the little guys have?

95% of the guys here could never become pro or even win amateur shows for that matter.

Who would want to turn pro anyway?
I for one am happy enough competing against myself and being the best I can be

You are one of the handful of people here who stands a good chance at getting a pro card if you gunned for it.

I'm sure there are many that could given they use enough drugs and sticks with it long enough.

I haven't posted here in awhile, but I would like to think I have a chance of one day making it a reality.

That's funny, how you're one of the biggest guys here who has actually competed and are saying you'd struggle to turn pro with your genetics, while guys who have never competed and have next to zero experience are saying anyone / the majority can turn pro if they took enough drugs

I've not seen any pics of you. Hazbin has the best physique in that list and he couldn't turn pro with all his trying, although I'm not sure how many times he tried.

He does have a pro-caliber physique, though.

I have been around alot of amateur guys that had the potential to be pro's, but there are many more factors other than genetics these days. BB shows are not all about AAS and HGH. Its dieting just right, getting your diuretics just right, color perfect and posing routines. With how crisp you can take photos and record video it is alot harder to become a pro. If you had high definenition of old school pros you would find all kinds of imperfections.
