"There are two drawbacks to steroids, one is the potential problems with your health and the second o..." — 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 mean, does anyone seriously think there are no drugs in Olympic sports just because they do some kind of testing? They are highly competitive sports with highly competitive people and just with competitive business people do whatever they can do to get ahead.

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