The Trainer is a cock head. Best to ignore it.
LOL, ok?
I have no serious personal problems with anyone who decides to juice or go for a pro card ( NPC nationals).
I just wanted to do things on my own terms.
For me it was always positive to :
Train hard, eat well and compete in regional shows without the risk and complications from BB drug use.
So many hardcore types seem to think you have to go for the nationals and a pro card.
For me, trying to win my class at a local or state NPC show seemed more reasonable and fun.
I'm perfectly happy buying a ticket to see the pro and national level guys who have the talent, drive and go for it.
