As Taffin stated, there are a large number of @IFBBPRO_JohnDough's and @IFBB_JaneDough's popping up all over Instagram now, thanks to the increase in the number of new divisions that hand out pro cards in multiple weight classes and in specific age brackets like Master's 40-45 groups at the NPC Team Universe and other lesser known pro qualifiers.

A friend of mine made it to the Canadian CBBF Nationals, while only competing against two other people at provincials in his weight class, and nobody else at locals.

This is IFBB Men's Physique competitor Jared Feather, who trains Hollywood actor Ethan Suplee:

They are giving out pro cards at collegiate and masters nationals to every class winner. Some classes have 5 guys. Beat 5 guys get a pro card. It's not the same as winning the overall Open division at Nationals pros are a dime a dozen now. But I think we all know the difference between this dude and a
 legit overall national champion in the men's Open

But just think Palumbo couldn't get a pro card back in the day now this asstwat has one it was a lot more difficult then

Incredible.

And out of curiosity, roughly how much gear would it take for your average athletic man to get to the shape of this man?

And has this man who has probably not trained chest for several days from the time of this photo, not trained legs for several decades before that?

Attracting shitty ink, yes.

It's a new crossover division between the IFBB and UFC.

He looks pretty tall, like 6'3"+, I'd guess 1.5g with maybe a little bit of GH.

the average guy who looks like this at 5'10 might be on 500-750mg

$275 yearly dues is $275 no matter how many pro cards they hand out I guess

Eminent MC Lonnie Teper once mentioned a contest with 300 total competitors. That was just one contest. That would be $82,500 in annual pro card fees right there.

So if there are 3,650 total "IFBB Pros", that's over a million in dues every year to pay Jim Manion and the others who run this non-profit organization right there.

When you consider that you have Men's Open Bodybuilding, Men's Classic Bodybuilding, Men's Physique, Women's Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure, and Bikini - if you have 500 dues paying competitors per division, that's about a million in fees each year.

I don't know if there are 500 who actively renew their pro cards each year [which is required in order to compete], but surely there would be at least 100 paying competitors per division each year, and even many inactive members who pay their dues just to get their [un-laminated?] updated pro card in the mail for reasons of status or personal gratification.

In the end, the physique community is still pretty successful at the moment, so that's good, right?

You forgot Wellness. So, that's even MORE money in dues.
