Ya I've always kind of wondered what you would have to do or what you can do to get into bodybuilding.

Google Your state and bodybuilding. There should be local show you can join in on.

Well Starting out sponsors will not be paying you crap. I own a company myself and I sponsor top level pro's and even I do not give them a paycheck. however I do pay for there air fair,travel expenses,suits, free sups and other things like this. Now if you want to get paid cash you need to be doing adds and shit. Competition for this kind of work is hard. Unless you are famous already, a freak of nature already,or dead sexy woman then get in line man. I got people calling every week to get me to sponsor them. Not just reg people ether. NPC and Ifbb level.

Just be ready and willing to put in a lot more work then just getting your pics taken and thinking some ones going to hand you a pay check for that right now.

First off you have the wrong attitude. Don't get into bb to be sponsored. Get into because you want to have fun and compete. Sponsors come much later and only if you have what it takes to make that company money.

Aside from that I would start going to local shows and study bb. Learn how to train, diet, pose, etc. Then enter a local show and see how you do. Being a successful bb is a long process. Just enjoy and take your time. There's no rush. If you try to rush it you will most likely quit.

You have to earn your pro card by winning a national show. Nobody "gives" it to you.

thanks for the replies bros and NEEDTOGETAAS yea im a long way from that lol but i dont want to do it for sponsership like someone though earlier i love competing in any sports but my favorite part is the lifting and training i could do it all day everyday and not get tired of it it makes me feel sooo damn good! so i figured why not get into a sport that IS lifting and getting in the best shape possible. The reason i was wondering about sponsership is work interfears with my workouts alot and if i could get paid for doing something i love then

I you want to look good & get paid ,consider being a model,or Get your certification and become a personal trainer.
I used to compete however i quit,the injuries i put up with I finally realized that i couldn't put my body (competeing) thru that hell anymore.
