Maybe he means the ladies. lol

I'd hate to see the legs on a pro dude who couldn't manage 2 or 3 reps with 315.

This is what I'm thinking as well. I'm not trying to be a compleeeete cock, I'm actually pretty curious.

Sorry, I meant to say physique pros not bb lol. But I guess it's common knowledge that a lot of them don't train legs.

Now I would probably agree with you. lol

Thank you for all the positive compliments!! The video should be up very soon I hope! Sorry about the wait, it was out of my hands and I forgot to have someone record with my iPhone.

I have considered doing a powerlifting meet several times.. Three problems I encountered though.. most are natty around here, most are suited(I only want to do raw currently), or most are so small and the organizations are so new or unknown I was repping their records for high reps lol, it wouldn't even have been worth my time. Don't get me wrong there are excellent orgs and meets its just tough to find one somewhat close that I feel would be a good way for me to judge where I am at.. As for bodybuilding, I love competing but I think it's just because I love to compete ha.. I do love looking good though but the money and time I put into it for something I may not be super competitive at or a pro doesnt make a lot of sense versus something i think I could legitimately turn pro at with some work is surprisingly still a tough decision for me haha.

It's hard to see where I transition too.. Heck I didn't even plan on competing this year and did and won for once and got tons of amazing feedback from extremely important people in the industry which may have gave me the bug back almost unfortunately lol..Right now I want to focus on developing a career #1 and get my shit together with life. I've put bodybuilding too high in my priorities for a long time already... I think I can accomplish doing things I want to first in life before doing another show again but still do a couple powerlifting meets with no problem and who knows maybe I will be hooked.

Right now my main goal is to win a bros vs pros for squat or medley haha. That could be more money than I'd win in twenty years of bodybuilding, plus the forum pride is nice.

^ Sounds like a post by a young Stan Efferding. lol ....These days Stan's a rich businessman, competitive bodybuilder and elite powerlifter.

You've definitely got your head screwed on bro - making money from a hobby is just a bonus at the end of the day.. developing a career is the real priority.
