I know Ron and some others here love the top pro events. Hey, I enjoy the big expos and seeing the best go at it pose for pose. But, for my money, a top NPC regional or national event is what I enjoy best.
I prefer wt classes and enjoy seeing the various age and wt classes go at it.
I think we all can agree that with the recent Lee Priest controversy, when $$$ is involved , things get more heated and ugly. ( By the way I think that BOTH Lee and the IFBB have good reasons for their stand)
I am older and look at bodybuilding as a hobby anyways.A little sensible drug use, is no big deal to me.
I do feel that the pros will feel compelled to keep pushing the enevelope and this is something I don't approve but can understand if a bodybuilder is making his living from the sport.
