All this talk of going pro kinda puts me at pause.
It sounds real nice, but dont you think you would want to compete in a federation show
like NPC. And then make a top 20 finish.
Then the next year make top 10 then top 5 a year later and then perhaps a pro card in say 6 years.
It is like me saying I want to be an astronaut...where is the launch pad.
How about you start at trying to beat the natural guys first of which there is a boat load of seasoned warriors ripped off the bone.
Then try to win a regional show.
Lets talk pro card in 6 more years cause I aint buyin the hype.
gotta agree with Pickle here dude.
you are so young, sound really young, and although it is good to have goals, you have no foundation for becoming a pro because already, at 21 years old no less, you think its all about the drugs.
Now, i know most BBers rely on drugs more than they should, but do you know the likelihood of you becoming a pro? I'd say its less than a 1% chance. No shot at you, just saying that is the odds.
Like pickle said, stop with all the shortcuts cause you have no idea (based on your weight and cycle history, and your age) what the hell you're doing. I mean you're 4 cycles in and 190lbs. That sucks. I started working out the same age as you at less weight and hit 190lbs naturally.
Just cause you like the sport (love. whatever) doesn't mean you're gonna be good at it. You need to learn about fundamentals and what it means to build a solid base to build off of. Unfortunatley you have neither of those things.
1. Learn the basics
2. Follow the basics and build a successful base.
3. Enter a local show (doesn't have to be tested) and do well. This may take a few times
4. Enter a local show and qualify. Make sure its not some gay ass show with 5 competitors cause if you qualify that way and go to a Nat'l stage you'll look like an idiot.
5. Enter a local show and win. Maybe do this a couple times.
6. Enter a national show. Now you're up against the best in the nation. Chances are you will not win or place.
7. Enter a national show and place. This may take a while.
8. Enter a national show and win your class. Depepnding on the show this may get you a pro card.
OK, now you have the basic steps. And step one is one of the hardest. Success on stage is not about drugs... its about hard work and understanding the basics.
Good luck.
