Dave Draper’s Musclebuilding Q&A

I have a son who trains hard, eats well and is very very strict on himself. He’s very dedicated to his dream of being a professional bodybuilder. I do not want to kill his dream, but I also do not want him to waste years of his life on something that’s never going to happen. My question to you is does he have any kind of realistic chance at achieving his goals?

Part of the great journey of lifting weights is the growth of character and commonsense and insight. There’s a good chance he will develop these hallmark qualities. As for becoming a champion bodybuilder sponsored by the fitness industry and continuing a career as a paid product endorsee, the chances are one in a zillion.

There are few things more worthy than muscular fitness and good health and the determination to achieve them. The money will make a strong man weak, a healthy man sick.

Remember: The iron heals, mends, fortifies, toughens, vitalizes, enables, engages, entertains, satisfies, serves, instructs, humbles and makes a good door stop… (note… riches, yes… no mention of money).

My suggestion: Train hard and always… God’s Might… Dave
