If you could trade places with any IFBB pro who would it be?

If you could trade lives with an IFBB pro, who would it be?


Now to keep this thread interesting, Arnold is off limits.




Really think about it and let it sink in.

If you choose Ronnie...watch some of his DVD's and realize he just had double hip replacement surgery.
If you choose Jay...watch his DVD's and see he's divorced from his long time love, along with other drama.
Levrone? LOL look at his recent comeback.
Matarazzo? Oh you're dead.
ETC ETC ETC.


Who besides Arnold would you say "Yes, I want to have his life!"?

[RoroCwalker]

Samir Bannout.

-Similar culture.

-Mr.Olympia.

-The era he was active.

-Has been on stage and trained with the likes of Arnold, Zane, Haney, Makkawy, etc.

-"The lion of Lebanon."

-No injuries during his bodybuilding career, at least, not that I know of.

-Married to a hhnnngggg and she's the sister of Lee Labrada.

-Known for having one of the greatest backs of all time.

-Did the masters in 2011 and looked relatively great.

-Still looks great, doesn't seem to be "unhealthy".

-Still involved in bodybuilding.

If I were to look deeper and analyse every possible advantages/con, it probably wouldn't be Samir, probably something like Dorian.

I'd hate to change places with anyone who's currently successful / has been or is almost there. It's like if you were offered your ideal body and overnight you'd have it. You'd then have to maintain it etc. but it'd be there tomorrow morning. Most of the enjoyment of succeeding imo is the hard work you put in and being able to look back on what you had to go through.

Staying OT though, Justin Compton. The above points are my main reason for choosing him. There's still alot of work for him to do in order to be successful, but he has the potential.

[SammyJr]

Definitely Levrone. But I'd probably keep using drugs for the rest of my life and stay full blown forever, baby! (if im allowed to) My organ genetics and hair genetics are un-effing-real

-Amazing hair my whole career

-Amazing physique my whole career

-Know I will stay healthy even on a full blown drug regimen

-Be somewhat better looking than I already am thx to excessive drug use

-Be intimidating to everyone

-Everyone wants me to win because I get 2nd at the mr. O 4 times b/c I don't have a muscletech contract

-My face doesn't age 30 years in 10 years of drug use like a lot of pros



Only con is I'm shorter and I've lost size in 1 other place but that's nothing

You forgot the 10 incher

[SammyJr]

You forgot the 10 incher

I already mentioned that in my last line. I'll take the downgrade if it means I have an awesome physique

[jayvee]

I actually wouldn't want to change lives with any of them. No disrespect, but the life of a pro bodybuilder would be rat$hit I reckon. If I could trade any of their physiques for mine, then i'd take Levrone in his prime..

[lestatgear]

I've always said I'm very happy being me, but if I could trade with one person it would be Jay Cutler. Yes, he got divorced, but so does 50% of the married population, myself included. His success, all from extreme discipline related to bodybuilding, it admirable.

[IwillBaMonster]

I'm not into sucking cocks so would not trade places with any of them.

[Larfleeze]

[Hellraiser2013]

What wrong with Jay Cutler? He divorced his wife? Who cares lol, hes still a millionaire and big as fuk.

I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Levrone has one of the greateast packages of all- time

[JanesLastResort]

Honestly none of them, but if i really had to choose i'd go with one of the physique guys.

As most forum members are not IFBB pros, these question is kind of silly. The lowest ranked IFBB pro is still a pro, and still gets to step onstage next to the super freaks. So I guess ANY IFBB pro is better than being an amateur with 18 inch arms and no legs. A more interesting question would have been:
What IFBB pro would you NEVER trade places with ?

My answer would probably be Flex Wheeler. 2 Suicide attempts, abused as a child, nearly died while still a pro, physique went to hell right after he retired...the list goes on...

Do dead pros count?

I really don't think that way. There are some IFBB pros with with ruined health, mangled bodies and that dont make a lot of money. I certainly wouldn't trade places with them just because they have "better" bodies than me

[StopVinceYoung]

Zane.

[LUGIA]

Shawn Rhoden

[Deano87]

None

[buzzbot]

Dorian definitely, well respected and very successful in youth, and living the Charlie sheen lifestyle in middle age.

[Ajthemeso]

Phil Heath. sick physique, hot wife, seemingly good life, lots of money, Mr. Olympia.

[Larfleeze]

The numerous excruciating and deforming muscle tears don't put you off?

A little... But Dat Brazilian wife or gf

[nturalfreakcy]

I'd go for Kevin Levrone. The first guy who looked badass wearing a hoodie in the gym. Sleeps with guns all around the place. Screws the rules in the gym (using chalk when it's prohibited). Uses drugs for 6 months and then go human mode for another 6. Different hairstyle in every Olympia (never gets boring) and the list goes on..


I just find his physique awesome! full blown baby. ^_^
