Mike, you seem to have been really interested and involved in bodybuilding in the 80s & 90s. How come you never took it to the next level?

He looks like 19 years old in those pictures in the blue trunks so that was around 1982. The pictures in the gym were from '85 when he competed in the Night of the Champions and took second to Beckles.
