A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER FIRST : IF U WORK FULL TIME U BARELY GOT ENOUGH TIME TO TRAIN AND NO TIME TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP . IF U GOT A RELATIONSHIP/FAMILY WORK COMES FIRST AND BB SECOND. THE ANSWER IS NO U CANNOT HAVE A NORMAL 9-5 AND BB COMPETITIVELY. AND STOP WITH RONNIE COLEMAN. MY FORMER TRAINER RON LOVE WAS A " REAL " FULL TIME COP...RONNIE AND WHAT U SAW IN UNBELIEVABLE WAS JUST FOR SHO' . HE DID A COUPLE OF ROUNDS AND MOSTLY CIRCLED AROUND HIS HOUSE AND WENT TO EAT WHENEVER HE NEEDED TO....HE DID NOT HAVE THE SAME REGIMEN AS A REAL FULL TIME COP. SORRY.

I'm a multi-thousandaire.

You're not the only one, 240.

I train to stay in good shape. I'm not the biggest or the strongest, but I can run 50 meters without gasping for air.

If you put bodybuilding before anything else, you're an idiot.

Ive had this issue for a long time.Ronnie Coleman brought it up in his "Unbelievable" video, about how he has a full-time job and being a bodybuilder. In my opinion, with most of the jobs today, or most of the jobs that i get stuck with, interfere with bodybuilding. What im trying to say is that you CANT be a bodybuilder and have a full time job. Why? because bodybuilding IS a full time job, its not an 8hr job, its a 24 hr job, eating, sleeping, training, and by having a full-time job it interferes with trying to eat every 2 hrs, and training. Too me, the only way you can survive is, either having a part-time job, or having a full-time job, sitting at a desk all day, which some of you might have, i dont know though. I take Bodybuilding very seriously, Ive quit jobs because it was interferring with my training and eating, yup. Most of your average joes, do it the other way, theyll give up working out because they dont have time because of thier job. Some of you will probably say, "Oh just get a part-time job"....and what make 200$ a week?? LOL, you cant live on that, especially with bodybuilding, 200$ would just get me by with my food and supplements.

So why are you on this site? To find pictures of bodybuilders to jack off to?

Why would i want to look like a normal person like you? So i could give jealous looks to guys like me cause you can't get the girls i can? Not my problem you're a lazy fuck.

So why are you on this site?

To make fun of sad people like you who let "bodybuilding"

rule their lives...word of advice, there is a lot more to life than brown rice and chicken breasts, otomix shoes, fanny packs and monster 1 hour sessions in the gym everyday, even more so when it comes at the expense of other things bottom line: you only have one life, live it!

Why would i want to look like a normal person like you?

How do you know what i look like? That sounds to me like the typical response of someone who deep down knows im right but is afraid to admit it to themselves and therefore lashes out with childish comments such as the one above!

So i could give jealous looks to guys like me cause you can't get the girls i can?

I dont know what you look like but as far as the professional bodybuilder look goes(the sort you would expect from being a "full time" bodybuilder") isnt a good look as far as women go, at least ive never known any who get aroused by hosepipe veins, gh jaw and seven coats of pro tan....mind you i guess it depends on the kind of "women"

you want to attract.

Not my problem you're a lazy fuck.

Im lazy but you are the one who thinks you cant work full time and train/eat properly? i work 60-70 hours every week, train in the gym 4 times per week and do cardio 3 times per week done over 6 days, granted i dont have a physically demanding job, maybe you are a blue collar guy who does a lot of physical work i dont know but even so to call me lazy when you say you cant train and work full time seems a little bizarre to say the least!

People are so retarded on this board..haha, what a topic. It can be done, its just a lifestyle. A top amateur trains at the gym I go to, and he has a full time job, and he is doing fine! Only thing he has to put up with people asking him all the time why does he eat so well all the time, and why he cant ever have a piece of cake a few times when birthdays came up during his training for Dallas.

Thats how it goes man.

Tell that to Sergio Oliva who busted his ass working full-time AND became Mr. Olympia, not once, but three times!

You really come across sounding like a whiner looking for an easy way out.

Exactly. Sure, Arnold took bodybuilding serious, but homeboy also knew how to enjoy life. I mean, watch the making of Pumping Iron again and you'll see the footage where he and a few others are drinking, dancing, having a good time.

Take on bodybuilding. Don't let bodybuilding take on you. Make your life full of "joy"!

240's advice is gold.

every pro athlete, if their being honest, worry more about the future than anyone. for the most part they have no retirement package at all and are completely reliant upon their talent and ability to remain injury free.

if this fucks up and they have no backup, they're fucked.

imo, if you honestly think you have the talent to make good money with longevity from your sport, then go for it, but who the hell could honestly say this about themselves when it comes to bbing? ronnie coleman? jay cutler? you should already know if you have this kind of talent and if you don't, i'm sure there'd be like a thousand people that could give you an honest (albeit brutal, perhaps) critique.

I have to wonder why bodybuilding so easily take over everything else in someones life!? I have also had that period when I was ready to quit school and almost everything else for bodybuilding... That's probably pretty common among young guys... But once you get a bit older you realize that isn't the most reasonable way to go!
You have to be realy talented to make serious money in bodybuilding (or almost any sport that matter).
Better open your eyes and be honest to yourself; have you realy a physique you can make money with...?
Of course in juice you see yourself as biggest guy in the world - but others necessary do not.

im not a top contender or anything, but ive managed to compete 6 times working full time in a shipyard... i had a conversation with a former top british amature and he said he missed working when he quit to consentrate on his training,,, was bored all day and didnt enjoy his training as much, when your working your day goes like clock work, you get your meals on time and have no time to be lazy.

well it all depends on what kind of job you have. some jobs makes bodybuilding harder ofc.

but then take 2-3 years of your life to educate yourself and get the job you can combine bbing with.

yep, and the irony is that sergio would be the type of body (freak 1 in a billion) that had the genes and potential to justify quitting his full time job.

bodybuilders who don't work because having a full time job would interfere with their ''BB lifestyle'' are the lazziest bastards on planet Earth, those 280 pound circus freaks wouldn't probably last 5 minutes doing something around the house without taking a break and sweating their balls off, they eat, sleep, train and shit, epic contribution to society, no wonder they resort to g4p or dealing drugs..........

I wish i were 280lbs. Yup free-spirit, that is me. And how can maybe someday being a Pro-Bodybuilder be fucking up my future?? LOL. I guess Jay Cutler, Coleman, and others are fucking up thier future. LOL. I was saying that many of the jobs that i had in the past interferred with my training, eating schedule, and being exhausted made it hard to do bodybuilding. The only job that I had that i was able to eat on schedule, and train was actually my most recent previous job at a manufacturing company, And Iam also currently employed soo i guess im not hanging out in my moms basement with the laundry "STU". Well, looks like im gonna be "fucking up" my future with bodybuilding.

ok i'll give you a break you obviously mis-interpreted my first post.

My whole point was you CAN work a full time job and train and eat when you need if you want it bad enough. However when i went from being at uni/training/working to working full time i was worried i would not be allowed to eat when i wanted in the corporate world. Which was untrue i worked so hard for people they didn't mind. But i still worried about it before knowing what it would be like.

I think anyone giving up a real job for bodybuilding is crazy in this day and age. Like 240 said you could end up 45 and a bouncer with no money or work experience behind you. But working in a corporate job, or your own business -i have to do both at the moment so yes 70+h a week- doesn't mean you cannot train 4 times a week and eat when you want. You have to make sacrifices but it's worth it to look better than everyone else out there.

JAP out
