I think it’s important to watch out for how long those professional bodybuilders tend to live… They take a LUDICROUS amount of drugs, and are lucky enough to have the genetics that actually respond to them.
A thread worth looking over. (he’s 19 and has been training for 2.5 years in the first picture)
This guy went on to win the NY Pro and you can tell from the very first picture that he had genetics to support such aspirations.

If you balloon up on your first cycle, when you go on, then it may seem more reasonable to dedicate effort to stage competitions.
