Things are about to change as bodybuilders are getting older!

[Bluto]

Where will we be in the next couple of years?

Ronnie is 43. This might be his last year.

Gunter is 37 and has hinted that he's about to quit. Finishing 10 last Olympia must've been horrible.

Dexter Jackson isn't moving in the right direction - losing at the Arnold and 4th at the Olympia. He's 37.

Melvin Anthony, not sure how old he is, but he's been competiting for 15+ years so he can't be that young.

Toney Freeman is 40.

Troy Alves is 40 too.

Darrem Charles is 38.

Mustafa Mohammad is 40.

Dennis James is 38.

Johnnie Jackson got a few years left. He's 36.

So does Gustavo. He's 35. And Ruhl also 35.

But still, things are changing!

bbing in the late eighties and nineties on a rookie standpoint ages were like ray 21 a pro or priest 20,now guy's are in nationals at 35-40 to go pro go figure.again a good build is a good build no matter.esp on a level playing field with anabolics.

Kinda funny that Lee Priest has been around as long and longer than many of these guys yet he is younger than most of them and has achieved twice as much....I mean what does Ronnie have going for him after he retires??? Jump on the Dorian bandwagon and start his own supplement company???

I'm just kidding. Have you ever been to Rocklin? I may have seenyou before/

....I mean what does Ronnie have going for him after he retires?

His savings from all the guest posing, seminars, photos, videos and all 8 Olympia wins. There's the endorsement contracts he currently has and I'm sure he'll have one for a few years after he retires.
He was a police officer and will more than likely do that again after BBing retirement, and I'm sure he has a 401k prior to even winning his pro card. He's an accounting major and a college graduate.
On second thought, maybe Ronnie doesn't have squat.....

I would love, oh love to see Ronnie going back to being a cop and busting all those people in posession of controlled substances that they didn't have a prescription for(like super high amounts of Testosterone, HGH, painkillers, Slin etc..)....Damn that would be great irony right there...Please let Ronnie go back to being a Police Officer that upholds the laws of our great nation hahahahaha what a joke....

And that has "what" to do with your prior statement where you skirt that Ronnie has nothing to fall back on?

Ronnie will be able to earn 100k a year EASILY for the next 5 years signing autographs at expos.

If he saved even a million dollars he could live a modest live just on the interest in a bank account.  On better investments with portfolios which invest in multiple sources, he could earn $80,000 a year on a million.  But really, that depends on what he saved.

I dont think that ronnie will have to worry about money. YOu could sell all of his cars, that would probably get him at least a half-million

[Figo]

I hope to see the return of the Benny Podda physique.

[Rob Base]

Thank god for the Mr. Getbig contest!

[Wombat]

The best news we have heard over the past couple weeks is that all of these guys are on minimal gear...Less then 2 grams/week at contest time(says milo's) and to think that getting ready for a show used to be a major money issue...Amazing how times have changed

Now with all of these guys on so little juice, i guess its safe to say that these men should live to be well over 70 years old...That is great news for everyone in the industry...

I guess the death pools should not contain any IFBB pros...At least at the olympia level....Maybe we should be doing Pools at the state level where guys are using 3 to 4 grams/a week..

i heard one guy charges $20 per autograph, ronnie should do the same.

[gordiano]

Troy Alves will be fine. He has a very lucrative ticket scalping business........
