I know its not a realist approach because only very few make it. But how hard is it exactly. The thing that turns me off is the whole, they do anything literally to survive or so I hear. Things like gay for pay, or jerking off on webcam, or flexing for money. All that stuff im not into. Or would it just be a better approach to just be your average cycler that looks like a bodybuilder but work a normal job?

Its a hard career and you need to have a lot of dedication, money, time, gear, and genetics. I think a lot of us would like to be jacked like that but it's not worth it to me. Sometimes the cost of admission is not worth the show!!

That is a question that is almost impossible to answer. I think going pro and being a top pro. Would be one of the hardest things to do in the world.

Yeah, genetics is a huge factor. There are some guys who could use twice the amount of gear that Phil Heath uses and never get a pro card. Just the way it is. Plus if you watch bodybuilding shows, you see how out of breath these dudes are carrying that much muscle on their frames. Hard on the heart. Not my cup of tea. Lol.

Plus there is still a certain amount of politics that go along with it too. You could have the best build out there but if you don't know the right people you'll never advance.

Good point. I think that's what leads to a lot of their deaths relatively early. People have the misconception that just because someone is 300 lbs and lean that he's healthy when the reality is that it's just as hard on you as being 300 lbs and fat. The only ones that don't develop problems after they turn 40 are the ones that start dropping weight.
