Question about IFBB

Boddhisattvha Posts: 1,226 Joined: 2002/03/07	2002/05/17, 05:00 PM Anyone know what you have to do to get your IFBB card? I'm just curious how the process works. And generally do you have to pay to enter a contest? ---------------------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

For Canada however you must win overall in your weight class AND overall of all the weight classes to turn pro. For the US you simply need to win your weight class at the top level show.. npc etc. Just to put things into perspective for you, to earn a pro card is harder than winning the lottery. Good Luck.. see ya on stage! -------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o.

With my tattoos I'm don't think any judge is going to give it up to me. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

So don't worry about that. It all comes down to your structure, size, shape, symmetry, etc. -------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o.

Boddhisattvha Posts: 1,226 Joined: 2002/03/07	2002/05/20, 11:01 PM Nope, it's more along the lines of WHAT I have tattooed on me. Only two more weeks and I'll put pics up. I only have one that makes people look at me strange. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.
