Tom is strange. His videos, clips, interviews are all over the place and have steadily gotten more and more out of whack as he's tried to remain relevant in an industry that is not kind to the aging athlete.
Whether he talks about Arnold, the 80 Olympia, how he would train, poundages he'd use and mostly his steroid use.if you look at 5 different interviews, you're likely to get 5 different answers.
At this point why not just admit what you did? He went from nothing in 79, 80 to a beast in 81. He must've put on 20 lbs in one year AND come in more shredded. From 79 to 81 he had to have put on 30 or 40 lbs..His usage had to be wild for the era.
But since no one is really honest about drug use it would make the reality of it more shocking. So everyone minimizes it.
