its up to you mate, the amount of gear and pinninig that goes hand in hand with the ridiculously hard and painstaking training and eating!it has to be your whole life and its a fulltime job!!!! you will have no time for anything else in life, it will be all eating, training sleeping and pinning and i mean alot of pinning, think mast,tren,test,deca,anadrol,anavar,hgh,slin,thyroid,clen,letro,aromasin,caber,and many many exotic copmpounds and peptides, and were talking everyday pinning sometimes multiple times a day, and yes dont forget synthol !mmhhm! and im talking over ten thousand calories of clean food a day!! along with all your cycle supports, ancillaries vitamins etc!! also you will never recover after running the cycles pros do, you will be on test forever!!! i got a mate that competes over here bro!!! you need over 20 grand for the gear for comp prep over here and thats just the gear, and thats here in oz, id imagine it to be harder in the u.s.a,

5'10 and 170lbs you've got your work cut out if you want to make it to 230+ lbs. Im not going to tell somebody they can't do something but, but there's other factors that are involved genetics is the main factor, plus you want to maintain your health as well. You will need to max out all your hormone levels, test, hgh and insulin. Realistically you want to aim at 6lbs per year of solid lean muscle, maybe a few extra lbs will be a big bonus, I'm trying myself to get that pro level physique aswell

It takes probably a decade with solid training and solid diet with proper use of aas to get anywhere near pro. So nail those down and eat,eat,eat!!! And hit the comps and learn!
