Amateur Bodybuilders with Poor Genetics trying for 10+ years to go Pro

Do they have a mental illness? 

At some point, they should have figured out that they won't go pro, yet they still dedicate their lives to pumping their body full of drugs and eating 6-8 meals a day and living the "lifestyle"

[The Wizard of Truth]

Well yeah I guess it is a kind of mental problem. Just like people who go to Hollywood and try be a famous actor and end up waiting tables for the rest of their lives.

What do you care at least they are following their dream, look at john meadows chase his pro card for 10 + years and finally got it so I guess he should have given up.

Looking at him now, yes, he probably should have.

Yes. Mental illness. They are obsessed with people idolizing them at their local gym. People at their local gym treat them like they are God.

But once a year, they venture onto a national stage... where they promptly get their asses handed to them.

They don't wait tables, they become porn stars

Didn't it take Chick 15 years or something? It was a smart move for him, got him exposure to stay relevant in the industry.

Short answer: Yes.

Like that Finnish Pro Jari "the Bull" Mentula, later "the Bullshit" Mentula, who got his pro card, were 16th in both of his pro shows and is still training and juicing, but never competing again because he can't do anything to his genetics.

If you cant make it to the top 5 as a pro, go do something else, the drugs required to stay competitive at that level without the earning power of being top 5 make it uneconomical to continue.

I know they're bodybuilders, but at least give them some credit I dont think anyone goes into bodybuilding for the money.

Ask Evan cent of panties. Most of these guys haven't understood that 'good genetics' = world class response to steroids

[Powerlift66]

Same issue as anyone who dons a thing and poses for mostly  gay men, retardness of peace... (Wes excluded of course)...
