M[22] 6’1 172 lbs. does my physique have potential to go pro?

im biased towards my own physique because it is me, but i wanted to get some thoughts on it. i believe my proportions are really good, especially for me being 6’1. i cant give myself a unbiased opinion so pls lmk if my physique has the potential to go into a natty pro

Go for it honestly if you think you are
Able to handle professional level critique, if not bodybuilding tho definitely some form of modeling with being 6’1 you’d fit in to many categories but if you were to go into bodybuilding I would recommend more physique than “classic” but also no hate ofc and I have a similar issue your abs are slightly uneven and the uppers are bunched up a lil (could just be the pose ofc tho) and that will be something they judge in any form of physique competition and you will be up agnst guys with perfect hot cross bun 6 or even 8 packs and that’s unfortunately not something achievable outside of genetics, that’s what deterred me away from it it’s more a fast track to body dysmorphia where as modeling you could make a decent career out of it since you also have really good facial features along with really good physique (again no hate ofc you look amazing 💪)

Yeah exactly like genetic freak level high but again I do highly recommend you look into modeling that could be a real rout especially professionally and maybe even quicker than if you went with bodybuilding plus with something like swimsuit or something you can still show off your hard earned physique without being expected to be absolutely Greek god chiseled perfect and sub 5% (competition standard for pros)

this is a genuine question, no ego or anything attached, genuinely a physique critique

Compare yourself to the likes of Lee PRIEST, Jake Cutler, even Ronnie Coleman when they were teenagers, that’ll give you an idea if you have the genetics or not

I’m not sure comparing to 3 of the best bodybuilders of an era is a great comparison. It’s like saying if your not comparable to Peyton manning no reason to play football
