Genetics to go pro

Also, how difficult is it to live off just your bodybuilding career? I have no clue

You can go pro in male stripping for 40 year old women

Why u mad bro

The only way to know is if you hop on gear. I'm tired of steroid users saying it's all genetics when people look nothing like they did when they were natural after they start using. A lot of steroid users may have decent insertions, but compare their natural physique to their roided one and they look worlds different

Bodybuilding is lifestyle, it's not something you can just casually do. But yes you have good insertions and could definitely do what >>42541657 suggests

very difficult. Pros dont make shit for money. Not even phil health, theres rumors going around that he basically lives pay check to pay check. Kai green is essentially the only marketable, high paid, body builder right now (other than Ramy) since the olympia has lost almost all monetary value because of lack of interest. You have to understand that these guys spend literally thousands of dollars on pharma grade chemicals. On top of paying for their entry into most shows. Professional bodybuilding is a dead end financial wise unless you can learn how to market yourself similar to how kai green does it or von moger and the rest of the youtube stars. You dont seem to have bad genetic inseritons, but your clavicles arent ideal

Yeah that's what worries me, to make decent money you need to have your own brand or have a huge sponsored instagram...too bad then. I guess I ll just stay natty and keep it as a hobby.

No matter what genetics you have, you're not going pro anything without dedicating your life and health to it, including using roids. I remember being semi-pro in judo, have a black belt and a brown in Brazilian jiu jitsu. Went to senior nationals 4 times, got two golds, and was ranked for a short while. I then realized the dedication to go from where I was to an international or world class level meant ten times the dedication I was willing to put into the sport. Drop out of college, use roids, practice 6 hours a day, etc. These people dedicate their lives to it.

So I dropped off, only compete in small local tournaments as a hobby. I used to train at a jiu jitsu gym that spit out world class athletes as well, and as a hobby it isn't even worth training there. These people train with so much shit in their system I was at one point basically there for show. I stopped being able to keep up as I got older, and I mean late 20s as older. These people will train year around like it's tournament preparation, the amount of conditioning you need seemed like a special forces level to be.

So yeah, keep that in mind, it also applies to Olympic lifting, power lifting, and bodybuilding. It's your life, you are consumed by it.

Tbh if you don't have a great job, it seems like good money. Top male strippers in vegas make over 150k with tips. Just be prepared to strip for men too...

I would consider the being a stripper for a while but my face is pretty mediocre, I don't think a good body is enough if I want to get paid a decent amount

Don't let that deter you. If those guys thought the same way, they wouldn't be here today. If bodybuilding is what you want to do you should definitely go for it. You look good btw.
