It seems like in this sport to get to the top you have to have good genetics. What characteristics are these I have a large frame and put on weight muscle easily, lose it easily too. Are most of these guys realy fat before they start this sport?. What types of things help to get to the top?

A large frame will help. If you are fat, that is a plus becuase you put weight on easily.

what is the average age to earn your pro card. Iam 19 now, I havnt done a cycle yet. I dont think my body has realy entered adult hood so iam holding off on cycling for a while. What age would be the best to start? Should I try to compete now to get experience or hold off and get as big as possible.

hold off, gain more mass. You don't want to do the required strict dieting right now, as you are in your prime growth stage. Usually, BB's don't reach their peak until after 30yrs. of age. That is when total development and muscle maturity are reached.

so around the age of 21 I should start with the cycling. I keep my diet strict now. Just have a bit of fear of getting fat again lol.

Well, everyone is different. Stay natural as long as possible. By doing this you will maximize your genetic potential with the juice. No problem in keeping the diet strict, but for competing you have to lower carbs and fat intake drastically, which will usually cause a loss in muscle mass. A good measure is to juice after 5yrs. of natural training. I wish I would have waited a couple more years, but oh well.

I disagree, im also natural and 19 and have my first show in 9 weeks, i want to get my feet wet so i dont go in a big show unprepared, i want some sort of experience so i can touch up any mistakes im going to make. You cannot just look at the dieting and mass as factors to compete, you should still get experience with flexing and having a posing routine, i guarantee your first created posing routine will be your worst.

You don't have to compete to practice flexing and posing. My point is that he isn't juicing yet, and by lower his caloric requirements to get his bf% very low he'll be sacrificing hard earned muscle. I guess its a matter of personal preference. I would rather build for another year, practice a dieting strategy, then apply it to a competition. I know posing has a lot to do with it, but so does mass, density, muscle seperation, etc... Not saying you are wrong bro, just how I see it.
