I'm not. Too many damn pros nowadays. I know it's all a cash grab but I miss the days when you knew all the pros in all the categories. Best of the best.
From one pro men's bodybuilding division to a lot of various divisions, it did jump the quantity of how many pros there are. In terms of various divisions like bikini and men's physique, these jumped the numbers in the amateur ranks in many contests, sometimes accounting for more than 75% of the total competitors. Is that bad? No, it is different. But with those numbers, a lot more pros are competing in these divisions, which are easier to compete over and over again than in pro bodybuilding.
Do they reach the level of audience that pro bodybuilders do. No. But to each his own. In the days of growing Instagram Stars, and making money from vlogs, videos, instragram pictures and endorsements, something is working right.
Is there a difference to me between an IFBB Pro Men's BODYBUILDER and other divisions. Yes there is. I am happy that we have a pro bikini division. Double yes I am!!!
