sevastase: I do remember my infamous appearance in Detroit and yes, the Dabish's run Detroit... Great family and lots of power! That was a good guest posing appearance and I will never forget Darian Bond and the "balloon" party that he took me to.. INSANE!
Moen: True That!
suckmymuscle: I understand where you are coming from but there are few things you need to understand:
1. for every one person that "hates" on me, I get 100 more that praise what I do, stand for, and have accomplished.. Believe me my man I have more fans than most professional bodybuilders in the world. I know there will always be haters.. Ignore them
.
2. You are 100% wrong when you say I have lost size in my upper body
.. I am so much bigger than I was in 2001. I don't know what else to say here..
3. I was the most "ripped" I ever was in 2001, in that sense you are 100% correct, but times have changed and body composition changes and you have to go with the times. There was no IGF-1 and Humalog during that time and the IFBB was rewarding conditioning over size until Ronnie came along and blew everyone away. Yes, I can do "exactly what I did in 2001" and attain the same conditioning but I will be dead in 3 years or on dialysis.. I'd rather be alive to see my children grow and take care of my family.. 'nuff said.
Earl1972: Steroid remarks brother... I hear it all the time when I travel.. I love it!
