Do you think having the title of IFBB Pro justifies someone to take more drugs than anyone else? What about light weight bodybuilders who are 150 pounds but are Pros? I do understand the point/opinion though as pro's could be making money from all of this. But what about the fact that Bostin makes more money than most pro bodybuilder or physique guys? Does that give him more right to take more drugs cos he can make more money from his looks than most?
I am not stating his drug take his right as obviously he is an addict but he even admits that. But to me as an adult with a sound mind he has the right to do what he wants. Plus a piece of paper with a title is great but it shouldn't justify his right anymore. Look at all the top heavyweight bb's who look amazing at the nationals but never get that card every year and you have 160 pound physique guys with no legs turning pro after 2 years of training. The title of pro definitely meant a lot more 20 years ago than it does now but it's still an amazing accomplishment I just don't think it gives someone more right to take drugs. Nor does making more money to me either. I understand people who think it does though so not debating with you I just think everyone has the same right as anyone else and I like to make people think.
I like Nick and Bostin a lot. Been enjoying their videos recently. Refreshing to see. So much bullshit in bodybuilding when there doesn't need to be. I understand why some don't like the guy but I think many are starting to see he is not a bad person and it's hard to not like a guy who just tells the truth even if it means it makes himself look bad.
If anything the ability to make more money is a better justification to endanger your life than a pro card. Look at deep sea anglers, crab fishers, police officers, military. All of those jobs shorten lifespan or endanger you.....but people do it because it affords them an opportunity to take care of their families and financial obligations. A pro card doesn't do any of those things.
