"I'm going to cut right to it. Here's EXACTLY, word for word, what it takes for anyone to turn pro:

1. Genetics
2. Busting your ass in the gym
3. Knowing how to eat alot of good food
4. Knowing what it means to "rest"
5. 12-15 YEARS of being consistant, and never missing a scheduled workout (*note: you are allowed to miss 2-3 workouts in that 12-15 years for funerals, family tragedy, etc.)

NOW.. here's how 1-5 plays out: Your GENETICS, you are born with, and can do nothing about. Numbers 2,3,4, I could teach a retarded monkey with a brain amputation.

And #5.. is why 99.99999% of the people fail.. and fall dead on their ass.

Notice is doesn't say "gear" or "steroids" in there at all. If you are one of those people that walks around saying "he's just big because he's on tons of shit!", then you will NEVER make it. NEVER!!

Steroids, GH, gear.. is the ultimate weak minded pussies excuse. Because, if it's GEAR, they never have to admit they aren't good enough. These people come up with an abstract excuse that no one can exacty pin point (how much, exactly is "tons of shit"?), and that way they don't have to admit they just ain't got it.

Notice the only thing you never hear someone say is: "I'm just not good enough?""

Discuss!


SO TRUE...........

SO TRUE...........

You have no fcking shame...The douchebag you are agreeing with has told many people in his life/and at the gym, that if he could go back he would leave the gear alone...And that he had to take it to be competitive...

The fcking guy is half dead for crying out loud and you are agreeing with what he says...You LEE PRIEST are a disgusting man...

Just imagine if all the football players/or actors got behind OJ Simpson and what he has said about the murder and said....."SO TRUE"

You have no fcking shame and you need to just go away with your BS lies...

      ::)  Because hes full of fucking shit.  Hes off the sauce now and hes 160 pounds, a shriveled up little pussy.  It wasnt genetics and "hard work" that kept him at 300 pounds, it was tons of gear.      ;D  hahaha
yeah  what a crock of shit from a midget    big 300 pounder   LOL

I've never seen it. Seems like a pretty good summary. So why do people rip on Tom Prince?

He's not advocating mad drug abuse like gh15 -- who oddly enough has fans on this board...he's advocating hard work and gumption.

Obviously drugs DO come into play, but w/o the other things as a solid foundation, you're going to be just another bloated dbol mess for a couple months then shrink right back to the 150lb weakling you started out as...

Garraeth....  TP was spouting shit like this all the time, yet when HE came off the drugs, he shrank down to like 160 lbs (while claiming to be 220 or something), proving he was ALL DRUGS.

It is true that all 5 of those things are required to have a pro physique.  It's also true that #6, massive amounts of gear, are also required or numbers 1 through 5 will produce a 200-lb guy at best (less at TP's height), not a 5'8" 300-lb mass monster.

Just some information:

On musclemayhem, Tom Prince said he was the one who gave Branch Warren the diuretics he used to dry out at the 2001 Nationals.  In MD, Branch said that he was cramping in his hotel room begging the person with him to take him to the hospital.  How crazy is it that Tom gave Branch (a seasoned drug abuser) enough drugs to almost kill him?  Branch did not mention Tom in the MD article but those of us who read both the thread on mayhem and the article in MD put the two stories together.

FYI, the original thread is here:

Well, some peoples kidneys go thatt never touched a bottel of Dbol.
But I doubt steroid abuse didn't play major part with Tom.

The points are all accurate, but steroids do have profound effect. The guys would look A LOT DIFFERENT
WITHOUT THEM! ANyone wants to honestly argue that - never used any, or is misleading.
But pills and oils don't make champions by themself.
99.999% of the male population wouldn't make it to top Pro calibre with their own pharmacy and expert coaching and total dedication.

not olympia material ,,but he would be same quality 30-40lb bigger to beggin with if he was constantly on hormones and other products,,

all depends on his reponse to hormone and training and since he already been on them since 250lb 5'10 is usually hormonized to some degree,,more likley m1t or some simple products in tablet forms,,and he is not getting any younger....he would most likley not win  pro card even if constantly hormonized these days

Now I know why I'll never be pro.  I'm simply not good enough.  Thanks Tom.  By the way, if you want to get to 205lbs @5%bf without drugs, call me up and I'll give you my diet and training tips.
Most people who lift do not want to be a pro bodybuilder, myself included.  If I had the genetic response to gear need to be a pro, I still wouldn't go that route.  I can't imagine waking up every day and knowing I need 4 shots, 15 pills, etc, just to stay in contention.  Also, knowing that drugs were the route of my existence/physique would to me, be a shitty feeling.

Drug use is the most important part of being a pro and that's final.

Drug use is crucial to sports, wrestling and bbing.. That's the TRUTH.

Better start out at 300+BW to end up w/ a honest 5% at 205. That aint realistic IMO.

      This is not true, drugs play such a huge role.  Every high school in this country has at least a few kids off the football/wrestling/track teams that could equal many of the "pros" if given the Pharmacy, time and weights.  Prince actually has shit genetics, his are sub-par as are Queen Tamale's and several other pros.

Yeah I believe in "genetics for gear". Still, not that many turn top pro calibre.
It takes Decades to build a Dorian, or Haney or Ronnie .... Its not just drugs, but it does take drugs to do that.

thats coz flex was on juice since day 1
when pppl shrink down, its down to no training not proper eating, lee enjoys his kfc.
gear will increase ur strength and recovery, it will utilize the proteins properly, strength when on gear and off:
i was doing half stacks on everythin, take a couple of dbols, and next thing ya know full stacks and shrugs with 14 plates!
ya dont turn into ronnie after one cycle it takes years on gear , and many cycles. eg one cycle should add about 10lbs on lean body muscle, and 1 " + on all measurements arms etc

but if ya take gear ya gotta eat ya protein as much as possible.

Yes but he comes off holier than thou like he didn't do any drugs and or they played no part in his success.

Maybe because you do have the great genetics Tom talks about. While somebody like Prince doesn't.
