There's always Schmoe Squatting to make ends meet

[#1 Klaus fan]

The muscle man who struts his stuff the right way, even if he is a total twink, gets as much as the 6th best overall bodybuilder.  

[DroppingPlates]

I want a Hummer or else I won't compete

[Dr.J]

are you fucking joking 240!!!! omg!!!

im gonna go pic up a basketball.......fuck working out

[Secret Stack]

every year (years when prize money is untouched), the prize money for the arnold and and the olympia are announced like it has reached new heights or it is a new 1st place award....

a few posts now about this years arnold....."arnold prize money ANNOUNCED!" posts that follow by board members (other than getbig lol) are usually, "wow! thats great" after thread starters like musclecenter decide to bold the first place prize like it is new or something 

what is it? oh, same as previous years.

"hopefully people havent been paying attention"

[20inch calves]

isn't still less. i mean they did away with the hummer. what was the prize money with the hummer?
also its not much considering how much the whole event makes. the expo is like 10k for a table size spot i heard.
i know ppl will say bbing doesn't bring in the money blah blah blah but lets not forget bbing is where it all began

[FitnessFrenzy]

I would guess this is the watch the 1st price winner gets. http://www.finestwatches.com/audemars-piguet-arnolds-all-stars-special-governor-edition-12877-12877-zoom.html



A little Hublot-esque.

[balzac]

more prize money = more drug abusing 

[Voland]

10.000 for the best poser is a lot. Place top 5-6 + best poser and you got decent cash to cover all the gh and gear expenses and even get some profit out of it.

How come Steve can use too and to correctly when so many US educated people here can't get their heads around it?

[Last Rep]

You worked it out a long time ago Stevie Boy Competing in Pro shows costs more than you make.It's all very simple BBs make shit, it's all to do with being a NON PROFIT org IFBB NPC = No money = No Profit.

[kreator]

[mass243]

Yes.

That's called capitalism and market economy, bro!
That's what pushes people forward. That's what motivates the winners to constantly accomplish more and more !

If you want something, you must be someone and know how to do something someone wants to pay for !!


Move to North Korea if you want that everyone earns the same, no matter if they perform better than everyone else. That's the idea behind communism.

Motivation...? To use more drugs? 

[musclecenter]

First prize consists of a $130,000 check, a Hummer vehicle, and an Audemars Piguet watch I think.
