A good friend of mine is a top level national competitor super heavyweight. 290 off season about 250 on stage. He has been top 5 in the USAs last 6 years or so. Still trying to get the pro card. His wife is an IFBB pro. She has won the Arnold and competed at the olympia the last several years. I've learned a lot from them that just made me go wow....
The pros take a lot of shit. I'll just put it out there like that. Some take more than others, but they all take a lot, and anyone that says they dont is lying through their teeth. PCT? Wtf is that? Nobody at that level is coming off. Nobody
