[ Q ] You competed for a long time and clearly had the genetics and work ethic to make it to the top. How did you manage to take drugs for so many years, yet stay relatively healthy?
It is not only what your genetics are like if your aim is to turn pro or how hard you train or your consistency, it is also very important how your body reacts to all the different kinds of drugs you are ingesting for years and years. Not only the positive, anabolic effects but also the negative effects, the side effects.
You need to have a constitution like a horse. For example if Ronnie Coleman and now Jay Cutler didn't have constitutions of a horse they would have been sick a long time ago and wouldn't be able to actually continue competing like they are competing.
Then we have the bodybuilding victims: Flex Wheeler, Don Long, Tom Prince and Mike Morris and many more like them, and so many more nameless ones. They are all victims of whatever they have been doing over these years and not everybody has a perfect health situation.
It is also how the side effects have an impact on you. You can also be or become a psychological mental victim when it comes to health success and achievements.
