how to get to pro bodybuilder level ?

[Nikoli]

Now i have a question
can a person reach level of pro bodybuilder. lets say Frank Mcgrath by working out and following good diet for years then hit few cycles and all other stuff GH and keep bulking and cutting ?
or do you need to be on testosterone all year long like TRT ?
or as some people say "that those pro bodybuilders are on like 1000mg of testosterone all year long and sick amounts of GH like 40 iu or so "
for the record.
im 24
5'10
183 lbs now in November
12% Body fat (did cut from 20% naturally)
didnt use any AAS yet ( and not planning to until like next year or in couple of years ) except 1 PH cycle like a year ago

Unless you have freaky genetics where your whole life you looked better than everyone you know, you probably don't stand a chance. What's the point anyway? There's no money in it.

You'd end up dropping about 100k a year on gear just to maintain...

Simply no. You cannot compete with those guys without all the drugs. Back in Arnolds day you could compete with mild cycles, but not today.

IMO no not just because of the genetics thing but lets say you do have the genetics of the top .05% of the population. (which is like asking can i make it into the NBA or NFL.. phat chance, gotta stay healthy, get lucky, and have amazing talent) but you also gotta devote 24/7 to this.

why not just have fun and compete in local competitions? usually you might have 6 guys in your category and top 3 get awards so you have a real shot to walk out a winner

i dont think i have freaky genetics . not even close!
its for me. thats what i wanted since i was a kid certainly not for the money. i make very good money. but i guess you are right . there is no chance to do it with cycles here and there you need to be on stuff constantly

Wow right out of the gate!

You would definitely have to have the whole package to get to pro. There are only a couple guys I have ever seen come to this board with the potential to be pro, and they obviously have the best genetics, eat like a beast, and run ridiculous amounts of gear year round.

The requirement to get that level is unattainable for the vast majority of the population

No you can't

Nelson said it all, competeing takes alot of dedication, I've been there, if you're after personal gratification competing will do it, as Nelson said Theres no money in it, you'll get your picture taken,maybe endorse some products if you're lucky.etc,etc,etc.
