It is not worth it! trust me bodybuilders should get a monthly check! its the most hardcore sport and none of them make shit for money. the shittiest white professional basketball player who sits the bench all night makes more than any Pro. Pro bodybuilders should earn way more money than Basketballl players or baseball players. they put it all on the line. but the sport is just not mainstream enough. dont fuck up your body for nothing! I make more than 90% of all bodybuilders. It's best to just get big as hell and work a good job and invest some money , start a business. that's what i did. and i make great amount of $.
It is not
exactly a sport. There is no skill test, no agility required, no strength contest, and judging is simply based on aesthetics. As such, it is more so a skill of the right combo of drug usage/abuse and genetic response, then we can certainly call it a
drug sport in that respect. Those who have the money win over the genetically gifted "athlete", if we can call them that.
There are actual sports where skill, agility, and strength is required on the field. BB can never fall in the same realm as national level sports, nor is it. Beauty pageants also diet, workout, and prepare year around for their competition with just as much dedication and determination, if not more. That does not make beauty pageant contests a sport. BB is simply a sub-culture of drugs - a small niche within the health conscious community.
As to the money, it simply has no mainstream appeal. We live in a culture where drugs are frowned upon. We pretend to put our national level athletes in front of congress and pretend to be the paragons of morals and ethics to the upcoming fucked up generation nothingness group. As such BB, is
sport drug game (nothing more) that is the polar opposite of everything we are taught to do and think in our national culture. For the dreamers (as WW reiterates) - get a education - a good job - and treat BB as a hobby like you collected hockey cards when you were 10.
