When did PRO bodybuilding start ??
« on: November 13, 2010, 07:32:38 AM »
When guys stopped having jobs and working and started acting like divas and princesses ?..

I'm guessing around the early-mid 1980's, 1983 or 1984 or so, around the Samir Bannout, Tom Platz, Lee Haney years...

I think by the 90's the general malaise and laziness became ridiculous, and no I don't consider personal training a few times a week 'work' or a 'job'

You try wearing a thong everyday and not letting it go to your head.

WHUUUUUUUUUT?

When did any sport (or whatever you like to call it) turn in to professional?

How many NFL players work in real job?

I think the money should goto the contestants not to joe weider.

just my opinion

If 20,000 go to the show and pay 10$ each then you could divide the money in many ways.

You could also have a vote for the winner.

Would this be satisfactory?

A killer poser might beat a boring but beter body guy.

hmm
