"I mean, does anyone seriously think there are no drugs in Olympic sports just because they do some k..." — Dorian Yates

I started messing around in my teen years but didn't really begin training properly until the age of 21. I did a lot of reading prior to that - Mike Mentzer, Arthur Jones and all other notable bodybuilding authors - and just came up with a routine that worked for me.

As an early teen, soccer is the number one thing that you do - and I wasn't very good at that.

I am more interested in health, quality of life, longevity and how training and nutrition affects that as you get older.

There are two drawbacks to steroids, one is the potential problems with your health and the second one is it is very easy for people to dismiss everything you have put into it by saying, 'yeah but he takes steroids.'
