| Photo shoots (selling pic's w/ autographs & the stores pay you for attracting customers like a % of sales), sponsership such as nitrotech (jaycutler), Lipo-6 (Marcus Ruhl), and I could go on for days, LeePriest (Twinlab), Ronnie Coleman (the entire NO series). Private party sponsers and from what I understand a lot, and I mean a lot are self-employed and businesses owners. Everytime they win and place they move up the latter of self-worth, which means companies pay more for your time. |

| how can you tell if you have good genetics...it cant just simply be from my parents could it....cause my dad was like 118 pounds at 18 and my moms real short...so i think if thats what it is then i got the shitty end of the stick |

| you know you have good genetics if your bench pressing over 300lbs your freshman year of high school and you never worked out before. If lifting weights only on occasion keeps you lean. If eating a 2lb hamburger gives you the same results as someone else eating 2lbs of protein powder. (I heard this in biology class once) If both your parents have straight teeth. |

| i have marginal genetics, my dad is 6'3 185 lbs with a beer gut and my mom is 5' 3" and probably around the same weight as my dad...plus i was always kind of a fat kid. i was fat then at the end of high school i leaned out a bit without much training or diet change, then since h.s. i put on 70 lbs in 4 years. most of which left me a fat guy again. Now im working hard to lean out again... |
