Aesthetics gains (POLL)

Hey gents and ladies,

So everybody on this forum is in the pursuit of a better physique and I know some even compete. A recent curiosity, who of you guys use your physique as a means to your job, earn money, part-time income, or some other financial or career advantage? The obvious route is bodybuilding competitions, but I also modelling, actors, dancers, stage performers, promoters etc? And for those of you that have gone to great expense to attain a certain body, did you eventually use your physique to get any additional benefit (career/financial)? Notice I said physique (looking aesthetic), not having a physical job (labourer).

So I am not asking about: “look-good feel-good”, “want to keep fit”, only lift as a hobby, do it to impress the opposite sex, self-esteem issues, self-vanity, experimentation etc.

Cheers.

I'm slowly getting involved with other facets of our sport. The strength side, and these comps do have winnings.

Last week Saturday was SA's strongest man for the U/90kg category. And plus we have the Arnolds coming!

So it's a good time to be making some money out of your body (bunch of hookers )

Thanks for input MM. Have you received prize money from such a comp before?

Yes bud, got 2 grand once but in a bigger event I would not have come close.
