This is why life is unfair...

Agree. But alot of the top bodybuilders are what most people would say, "RICH." But its not always from bodybuilding.

Arnold was a millionaire by the time he was in his early 20's. I think from real estate.

Jay Cutler has money. Real estate and who knows what else. Endorsements, magazine deals, prize money, guest appearances. The top guys make alot of money. But its usually only the top few guys.

Branch Warren owns his own logistics business.

Ronnie Coleman works as a cop because he likes it. In his earlier years, he NEEDED to work that job. But he doenst now.

Phil Heath didnt compete in the 2009 Arnold because......he didnt need the money.
He has a Bentley. Id say the kid is rich my most peoples standards.

and a billionaire is one thing. lol there is only about 1200 billionaires in the world so dont expect to be on that list.

But I think its very possible for someone who is intelligent, knows how to market themselves, and uses the money they earn from bodybuilding to start related and non-related businesses to become a millionaire

Yeah, as long as they have one in a million genetics. Good luck to anyone going with that as "Plan A."

Totally agree.

Anyone who puts all there eggs in one basket isnt very intelligent IMO.

I would love to become a pro and earn a living doing what I love. But im smart enough to know I should continue my education so I have an actual career if my dreams dont come true.

Radiography, in case you were wondering what im going to school for. haha

Yes, Gear.... If you're on gear and you don't get those kind of results in a few years time I'd say your doing something wrong.

I also think it may have to do with age, and amount of natural testosterone production.

Gear or no gear its hard work that got him there!

He looks good for an 18 year old but he's obviously juiced to fuck from literally day 1. I've get no respect for these 'get big quick' merchants who don't train naturally a single day in their lives.
Plus he looks good FOR 18 but I wouldn't say he has a great physique, if you guys know what I mean?
Regardless what I think he can juice as much as he wants, I couldn't care less. More power to him. His life

Most people don't realize that Arnold, Jay, ronnie, Kai, ALL the top pros would be top amateurs and would be top of the natural class. No matter what fed or division or style they compete in they will be on top, there is no changing the fact that some people are born better than others in terms of, looks, body type, IQ. The world is not fair or equal. You take what you have and run with it. I Love powerlifting, I would like to try bodybuilding. I love the iron, I love the smell of rust on old plates, I love the feel of chalk on my hands. I roar of heavy metal and grunts of a 200 pound man ripping 600 pounds off the floor in less tha .5 seconds. If I died in the gym of a heart attack tomorrow I would die a happy man. That being said I will NEVER quit my day job to persue dreams a pro bodybuilder or powerlifter. I will work AROUND my job to make my dreams come true, but to quit and follow a pipe-dream. Silly. All the stories you hear of people quitting their jobs or schoo to persue dreams, think Bill gates, Mark Zukerberg are ONE IN A MILLION don't buy the hype. Don't think ever think the world owes you anything because it doesn't. You control your own fate and you set your own limitations, unfortunately sometimes those limitations are genetics and all the training and gear in the world won't make your hips any more narrow, your shoulders any wider, or your dick any bigger. Quit crying and get back in to gym.

Who's crying?
Not really sure what your point is?
The kids got good genetics, he's juiced from day 1, he looks good.
So what?

All i got to say is to each his own. Its his life and his own choices and it may not be the best choice but its his. Me and alot of others dont agree with it but we have our own life to worry about right. Just have to be thankful for what we ourselves have and make the best of it.

Good genetics? NO. He was 100 pounds when he started lifting and probably juiced from day one, as you said.

You honestly think this kid has GOOD genetics? I think he has fuckin POO POO DNA and started juicing hard. Big deal. I could take a kid his size who has never lifted a day in his life, pump him full of all sorts of shit and have him looking like that in 2 years time as well, GUARANTEED.

And im not hatin on the kid. He has put on a substantial amount of size in that time. BUT how can you look at his before pics, knowing he started hitting the sauce hard and say he has good genetics? And I dont think he looks good at all. Def not a mature physique.

I could point out 10 guys on here right now that look better than this kid. POO..... POO..... D..N..A....

He seems to respond very well to gear. That's a genetic trait.

Besides, seem we agree that he's nothing special. I said he looked good for an 18 yr old, I never said he had a great physique.
