That is nuts! You could buy a car a year with that. I don't know how much a low level pro makes in a year but if they spend that much...damn.
Only the top 5 guys in the world can actually make a living off winnings. The rest don't even make enough money in winnings to pay for their prep. If it wasn't for endorsements and their business ventures in the industry, they wouldn't be able to survive. The guys living in the Middle East actually are state sponsored, almost like having a government position as a bodybuilder. Guys like Kamal will get 150k from their governments for competing and doing well. This is why we have seen a surge in bodybuilders coming from the Middle East.
I have heard rumors of BBs doing very questionable things for $$$ in the gay community oven if they are not gay to pay for it all. Same with MMA fighters at the lower levels. Dakota Cochrane was rumored to do gay porn to pay for training and food. He is straight and has 3 kids.
I do not love hobby enough to blow a dude. HAHA
I am sure many amateur BB sell gear and recs? Anyway, follow one's own bliss I guess.
No disrespect intended by my post. There are dark sides to everything. I bet there are PEDs and seedy shit going on for pro chess players too.
The gay stuff is as real as the sun. I remember the first time I was approached about it, back in 1998. I was at a Muscle Mag International photo shoot and some older guy came up and tried to shake me down. I was still a kid, so it really freaked me out. Still haunts me. Haha. Anyways, a lot of dirty ass predators in this business looking to take advantage young bodybuilders, because they know exactly how hard it is to survive. Thankfully they have IG and YouTube now, so guys can actually earn a living doing that. Hell, at worst they could do an OnlyFans and do whatever they felt comfortable doing. Like the South Park episode on Paramount, Cred, "I already jerk off 2 hours a week, why not make it 4 hours and make a little money off of it?" LMAO.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

You advices, My Uncle said use to be dball, deca and androl 50 from a local doctor. Total 100=150 dollars a show. I think wow. But I see the difference in todays line up. Bigger harder and and ripped. Beast Mode.

I tell all my clients. If you are prepping for a local/regional show, set aside 3-5k outside of what they pay me. If you are prepping for a national show, set aside 10-15k outside of what they pay me. There isn't anything cheap about bodybuilding.
