are all the competitors at pro shows pros?

prbaflexed · Jun 21, 2005

when i look up shows on flexonline (toronto and new york shows) and scroll through the competitors i see guys that look like they couldn't win local shows i've seen. do these guys have an ifbb pro card? i don't understand how some of them have could have got one. is it easier in some countries to get then in the states. i'm not trying to talk shit i was just courious. i believe any body pro or not that can do what it takes to compete is a champion.

peace

I know that some guys could not get their card here in the USA so they go where there is less stiff competition like Canada or elsewhere where they stand a better chance of getting a card...nothing against Canada or elsewhere but less guys compete at some out of state shows so your odds increase with less comp...

Once you get your pro card you keep it for life. You noticed how those guys are older? Most haven't competed in like 20 years, and they do some shows for whatever personal reasons. It's always been like this, it's just you didn't have the net in the past to see the pics and the magazines didn't usually publish them.
