well said. How someone turns out as a pro and the time the deserved to turn pro are not alway the same. kudos to anyone who completes the vicious journey to a procard and gets it. it is a path that leaves broken dreams and bodies in its ditches. haterade is an unique drink. once said to me about hating, watch what you wish on someone else as it could come to pass on yourself. i wish the best to all competitors, because as BB'rs (regardless of levels, genetics, gear or not) we all give everything financially, physiqually, emotionally to attempt to make our physique just a little bit better. I believe to endure the diet and training and get your ass on a stage to be critiqued or judged by others is something within itself. More importantly people who just talk shit about people are usually the guys that juice and yell in the gym and walk around swoll talking big shit and never get on a stage themselves. why? they are so insecure to expose their flaws and physiques and face critcisms from their peers especially since they talk shit about everyone else, even those who normally wouldnt talk junk would devour them. just my two cents. everyone sees things differently. "If you must critique; you must compete."

Usually amatuers will enter a national qualifier and compete against the best of the best there and then whoever wins that class will compete in a National contest to get that pro card. Whoever wins that days in that respective class or the overall will win a pro card...
What I am trying to say is that person or persons may have been the best that day against their peers and deserving to win that pro card.
To say that these men dont deserve their pro cards is a slap on the face to them that worked their butts off. The way they came in shape on that day of the contest made them earn their pro cards....they may not have had the prettiest physiques but they were among the best of the best that day....
