Competeing

me no not in a loooong while, anyway i have a few questions. how much can someone make winning shows

 

[ultragainz]

depends what shows you do..but you wont be making money like the ifbb pros

 

[Mike P.T.]

depends. amateur, nothing. Pro, 10-15k for some shows. The Olympia is like 120k for the first place check. It's nothing like other professional athletes who gt paid 10 times more. It's not fair. Oh well, i don't compete anyway but i know others out there do and deserve more for what they go through.

part time i make 7-8 k a year, working 20-30 hours a week how many low key shows would i have to win to match that

I dont know what they make, and dont follow competitions very closely,, but I do know they work real hard and abuse alot of drugs, and deserve an unbiased group of judges, like how priest has never taken a show and he has deserved to, how cutler should have beaten ronnie and so on.

You don't make any money winning low key shows or any ameteur shows, unless you get an endorsement contract by a supplement company or something along the lines of that. Once you go Pro, now that's a different story.

You don't make any money at this unless you go pro and even at that only the top few make a decent living at it. The money is in endorsement deals and seminars, not winning shows. The Arnold and Olympia have the hiest paychecks at over 100k for the winner, but odds of winning are slime enough that you can't base your income on that. When you see Dexter Jackson in a Muscle Tech add or Chris Cormier in an American Bodybuilding add, that's where the money comes from. Guest posings also help to pay the bills, but all in all it's not even close to the pay "earned" in other pro sports.
