I thought I would make a new topic in the General boards because not many people follow the Natural boards on a regular basis.
Here is a good clip of Jeff Rodriguez.

And last but not least here is Jrod's response to the clip
Actually, rollerblading is sort of what got me into bodybuilding. I broke my wrist (compound fracture) rollerblading and I used to have to go to physical therapy for it. I started going to the gym only with the intention trying to strengthen my injured wrist and arm (the arm in the cast got a lot smaller than the other). But after a while I would bring my friend Mike along and we would mess around with some of the equipment. It only took a few months until my Mike and I started to take it more seriously.
Looking back on those times I can say that we used to have some TERRIBLE workouts. The effort and intesity of our workouts was good, but we just didnt know what we were doing. I remember one day Mike and I were trying to battle for who could handle the most sets on this ab machine. We started to feel weak and dizzy after about 23 sets to failure on this ab machine (this is after training chest), so we decided we should eat. We walked over to the McDonalds a block from the gym, had some McChickens and came back for another 2 hours of training... We could never figure out why we would get so sick and dizzy.
Another time, I remember that we stopped by GNC before training. I managed to convince the guy there to give us a free a jar of expired protein. Mike and I were so excited cause we thought that drinking some protein would immediately make us stronger and give us a lot of energy. So we Mike and I sat in the gym parking lot and together drank the entire 2lb. jar of protein one scoop at a time (we used McDonalds cups cause we didnt have shakers). It was so gross, but we thought we were just being tough. Then we tried to workout but that didnt last long cause we both got really, really sick and spent our time in the bathroom (never had protein powder before and that was about 15 scoops or about 300g of protein in one sitting).
