Whatever his status is..one has to admit he looks rock hard and shredded..shows no sign of water retention or gyno. If he is using something hormonal...he's probably not hurting his health too bad or screwing himself up...and he's passing the drug test. I think he's pretty impressive and most people would rather look like him than an IFBB pro. Honestly, if you could look like this guy without having to shrink your nuts, screw with your heart..shut down your test or.... look like an IFBB pro and suffer all the sides that go with it..which would you choose?
