1.) At a PAID photo shoot you have a guarenteed RATE you will get paid.
2.) It doesnt help him get clients. An extra 5 lbs of muscle is NOT going to be the THRESHOLD in a potential clients deciding factor as to weather or not to hire a trainer LOL!
3.) If he needs gear to bring his physique up to par to attract clients then he must have one SHITTY NATURAL Physique to begin with and has no Biz training people...... I cant imagine having such rotten genetics that I had to rely on a cycle to help me get clients ...
I think your stretching there, they are both selling the product of fitness, they are both seducing people into buying a better body. Its really the same for the whole industry, it is a business you know, not just a contest. They are selling fitness, and bigger muscles.
What is the difference of doing roids for the IFBB and Weider and Cell Tech and doing roids to make you more appealing to whatever market your in? If someone does roids and gets more work, makes more friends and clients makes more money has a better life, how is it any differenct than the whole bodybuilding industry?. You cant say bodybuilding is just about contests its not, its professional industry, meaning its a way to make a living. Your are saying its OK for pro bodybuilders to do gear to sell themselves and products but its not OK for someone else to do gear for the very same reasons.
Your creating a double standard. If you think it is wrong for one then it must be wrong for all.
