I definitely agree with you on this. Once someone understands what goes into competitive bodybuilding, it just isn't worth it.

Liked I stated earlier as long as he has a career and wants to compete as a hobby and not a means for an income I support that but I will not let him waste his life to try to be a bodybuilder if he dosen't have a career to fall back on and selling drugs or doing webcam is not a career

Can I ask why if he loved it? Baseball players use steroids Football players use HGH and steroids if its over the drug use then it seems you need to realize that every sport is FILLED with drug use....not just steroids but pain killers and anti depressants to name a few

It's just not the drugs Billy but other "behind the scenes" activity that goes along with it. You mentioned the drug use in mainstream sports and I agree with it and my son is aware of it especially in the field I'm in, that being said he also knows the consequences that can result in getting caught. There is ZERO consequences and wide acceptance in the drug use in bodybuilding and is used openly and that goes along with the lack of professionalism in bodybuilding. What's right for bodybuilding wouldn't last a split second in a mainstream sport without dire consequences.

Rothlesburger is a perfect recent example. For his actions he got suspended for the first six games of the next season and he wasn't even found guilty, but since his actions represent a bad reflection on the NFL, he's paying a heavy price. You do G4P or something like that in bodybuilding and there are no consequences because that's what the industry decided it wants to represent. Do I want my son part of an industry that has ZERO standards? Hell no!

I agree on some levels but its not that standards are higher its more of cover your ass tactics....No sport cares what you do they just don't want to get a black eye from it.....Look at Tiger woods as an example do you really think people have not known for years in the sport.....his wife just had enough of it and it gave golf a black eye per se.....

In Tigers case, Golf is an individual sport and what even though what Tiger did dispicable it doesn't effect the golf industry as a whole, he hurt himself but not the games standards. But, if he did get caught using drugs you can bet he would be suspended. That being said, just for his cheating he lost a ton of sponsers along with a ton of money because of his acts. Yes, golf does test for PED's.

Actually the months he was gone Golf lost several millions of dollars from events he was scheduled to play in and didn't. Every tournament he plays in means millions of additional dollars from live audience, to sponsors to television rights. Some events pay Tiger to play in them because they know it will bring millions in additional revenue.

Comparing BB to baseball again is just stupid. You can fit the number of people who grow up wanting to be a pro bodybuilder in a small house over the past 100 years. I don't even have to mention how many kids grow up wanting to play baseball. BB is not something most people want to get into. The reward does not match the hard work. And no one in history was born with the genetics to be a pro bodybuilder and be the best. The ONLY way to be the best or competitive pro is to take drugs and play with your health (in a bad way).

That is great. Just be sure with that support comes the information on what BB truly entails. Don't trey to sugar coat something that can't be sugar coated. Tell him up front the good stuff along with the bad stuff. And yes there is bad stuff in everything. But, if he is interested in BB then tell him about that. Don't worry abpout everything else till the time comes

If he only had over head lighting and the right camera angles then you would have seen how truly jacked he was.

Top tier poster for sure.
