How do pro bodybuilders or even top NPC guys afford thier gear?
With the amount of stuff they take, and the amount of food they eat, how do top pro's and ameteurs afford year after year gear and food. I try to get my gear as cheaply as possible but even when I go to mexico, I still spend 1,000-2,000 a pop and I go 2-3 times a year, and I don't use half as much as the pro's. Phil, Big A..you wanna shed some light on this subject.

I heard a rumor that chris cormier does or has done gay guys in the past for gear as has flex wheeler.

I'm not sure but I think most of their money comes from supplement companys for endorsing products.

It all varies just like in 'normal' life. Some work and sacrifice a lot to buy gear, others sell gear on the side to get their gear that way, others play 'tricks' and others like myself, own companies so the $ were never an issue.

That's probably the most straight and believable answer that I've heard for some time. Most of the small time guys hear a lot of BS about how prevalent the homosexuallity is in Pro BB. I don't think it is as bad as some want to believe. Also it gives them an excuse for why they can't afford what they think the Pros use. Noone wants to just "give" their BB secrets away. There is a price for eveything.

I believe the "gay" thing is definately a minority. I can't believe too many would succumb to that, regardless of how much money is involved!
