**Trick D** · 01-10-2007, 02:45 AM

A lot of great shows coming near you. I think we should get a bunch of people together and see a show or two. If anyone is interested I could get a package together for a summer show maybe. Will have to see though.

Hey Trick... do you know if there's going to be a San Francisco show this year? I'm about an hour and a half from Sacramento so that's do-able, but I live right outside SF so that would be very convenient!

**Peaked_18** · 01-10-2007, 02:13 PM

Trick D, how many competitions do bodybuilders participate in per year (ex. jay or ronnie, ruhl, etc)?

**Trick D** · 01-10-2007, 03:00 PM

You know I went to the IFBB.com pro website to find that tentative list and I didn't see it, now I know they are having a sacremento one though. I will keep my ears open.

ProBodybuilders like Jay and Ronnie normally only compete in the Fall Season because they already have qualified for the olympia based on the previous years place. They normally do the Olympia + any shows afterwards. Most of the time it is 3-4 shows a year total.

Bodybuilders like Darrem Charles has done probably 6-8 shows a years some years. Really depends on how they play their cards.

**skelooth** · 01-10-2007, 03:27 PM

i could make it to the NY show, but, uhh, what is that $35,000 all about?

**Trick D** · 01-10-2007, 06:41 PM

That is the prize pool. Normally broke down where the winner makes around 10-15k and on down. only top 5 normally make anything at all. Bodybuilding needs to change and find bigger sponsors so all competitors get something.

**b-boy** · 01-11-2007, 12:50 AM

trick im going to try like hell to make it to the arnold this year. your going right??? me and the wife will probably make it to the expo and prejuding this year.. hopefully, i gotta travel to the northern kentucky in covington at the end of march so i have to see how the funds fall for that month.
