Dude is still jacked as fuck and training like an asshole. He's retired and I believe he has a successful trucking business. Does he not want to enjoy the latter half of his life? Just gotta go hard until they're in a casket.
Lifetime smokers lose one decade off their lifespans. But if they quit by age 45, they have the lungs of a non-smoker by age 55, as well as the lifespan projection.
The moral of the story to me is: quit the vices early. For PED's in particular, don't stress your CNS with them at an age where you should be taking protective measures [although I realize I am a hypocrite in this regard, but my cycle was relatively light].
Almost all of Ronnie's injuries came from his post-Olympia stupidity. I feel if he went for the health look at that point, he would have been fine. Ditto for Branch.
But...these guys won't stop. Even if it means taking 20-30+ years off their lifespans potentially.
I heard that steroids permanently change the structure of your heart though. But I'm not sure if that's true. But regardless, surely reducing or quitting PED's would help. But these guys don't seem to want to.
It must suck to have your identity tied up in something so unsustainable as high level bodybuilding.
