If you did one thing different in your life then you may not even be around today

Leaving the house a few minutes differently than you did in the past could have seen you in a fatal road traffic accident rather than getting to your destination safely

The butterfly effect.

I wouldn't have perma bulked. Doggcrapp stuff was nonsense. Like, don't be healthy and lean, get heavy and blocky and increase your blood pressure.

I did that stuff to force gains as a natty at the start (food as an anabolic  :P), gained a lot of unnecessary fat.

Worked out later that as a natty, it's just training as high a frequency and with as high a volume as you can and then letting your genetics do the work over time. Poundages don't matter as much, which is why you get the street workout guys and girls looking jacked.

So I would have stayed lean, and not try to force the weight to go up.

P.s.

-I wouldn't have wasted money on supplements. Glutamine, creatine etc lol.

-I wouldn't have taken tren and anadrol. If I could do it again, I would have stayed lean, took 2 or 3 six week cycles of dbol/winstrol only or with a little bit of test during my early 20s and then tried to maintain as much as I can for life.

The entire DC training thing was a total gimmick to make money.

I tried his "demon" training back in early 2000 and it gave me so many injuries i had to stop lifting for 2 weeks.

With so many people just out to make a buck it is very hard to know the truth.

Nobody should ever use Tren, it's completely toxic and wrecks your health.

Anadrol is fine at a low dose, but i wouldn't even consider it at my age.

Test low dose with a little Deca and Dbol cycle once a year.

Supplements are garbage, i haven't even purchased anything but protein powder in 10 years.

Stay lean and enjoy life. Your health will matter one day.

Would never have 'bulked up'.

Complete idiotic advice which is still preached today.

Only leads to stretch marks and stretched skin.
Agreed, and I never would have done "hardgainer" routines like 20 rep squats. Completely unnecessary.

Less mass building/basic exercises only/mostly and used more variety. More splits instead of full body. In other words more volume/maybe not as heavy. The schmoes who were doing variety looked a lot better than me doing the basics. The ones I knew followed a decent diet, did 20 minutes of cardio a day, and did bro splits. We were all natural too.

Also, would have avoided reading articles about "science" and bodybuilding and what "science" says works/doesn't work. I mean look at the guys who wrote those articles (or look at those writing on T-Nation). Obviously were full of BS.

It's the only thing that actually changed my attitude and temper.

And i'm about this most relaxed person you would meet.

Who are your inspirations?

Tom Platz, Sergio Oliva, Lee Haney, and John Hansen

none of them are alike but as a whole I either admire the lifts they put up, composition as a whole, or pushing the natural limit for the very ladder

You will not have to do it again, it's all downhill from here and the end destination is a hole in the ground where we will rot into a smelly disgusting bag of worm food   :-\
