Although I'm nowhere near able to do this now my ultimate goal is to one day do this, atleast one shoot you know? I know for regular modeling you need an agent, portfolio, etc because I did a few shots several years ago....is fitness modeling the same deal? Any good agencies?
kind of.. depends how big you want to go... but just find someone thats into it and have them give you the hook up... i'll being doing at least 3 this yr, its fun and all, but you need time to take it to the next level.....
Yeah, it's rough and it's a serious business if you are trying to do anything worth being noticed. It's like 10 times harder than getting totally ripped, and it takes a lot of dedication/persistence to get ripped.

look into the lyons group. mike lyons owns the agency. tops for models with great physiques. you can google them. they do have open calls if you have a book. that's where i would start and work you're way down if that doesn't work out.best advice you will get as far as city agencies for physiques modelsQuote:

Just a question what do you guys think the stats are for the average fitness model. Say for like mens health? Just curious!
Mike Lyons is a liar and a fat piece of garbage. It's not even his agency and he leads you to believe it is, he was the owner at one time, but then got bought out and just worked for them as a scout. He doesnt even have anything to do with them anymore as of like last month, he's with Arnell now. This guy fed me nothing but B.S. for 2 years straight, **** TLGQuote:

I'm sorry, but acting like a queer isnt what got my body to where it is now, nor where it will be. And as much as people would like to pump it up, your not going to get rich just fitness modeling. If anything, ripped off and you'll dump far more into your physique than you'll get out of the shoots. This is the real deal.
Can one make a good living at this? If so, how much does a good one make?
its a good point that u will spend much musho denaro on supps, foods and things like this, it aint easy being pretty, or cheap at that matter
Can you tell me more specifically what happened and why you feel this why because my buddy and I are involved with this guy as we speak.Quote:

Strength.net is basically a gay porn site with no nudes. It's for men who like to "admire" ripped young guys. I would stay away from that site if I were you. Unless you like oiling u, wrestling and posing with other guys for money.Quote:

I want them to view the website, etc.
I'll make sure to say "my wife encouraged me to do this, as she saw your site", but once they learn that I don't like to play in the mud, they'll probably ditch my application.
