Just need to say a couple of things Nasser was not an up and coming bodybuilder im not sure how many times but he placed 2cnd in the Olympia, 2cnd in the world.
I also have to take a bit of offense at how you portrayed Palumbo. I think we both competed in the 1994 Jr Nationals. He is an extremely nice guy and a very intelligent well informed bodybuilder who knows his stuff. Did i like his mook, no, not at all. He was not a bodybuilder he just put on a ridiculous amount of muscle. Hr is not out there now preaching to you tube viewers that they should take as much stuff as they can afford.
Piana was a total idiot. You went easy in him. First of all when he did compete he was so blocky he looked like a walking refrigerator. He was a horrible competitor. I thought he looked like shit till the day he dropped dead.
What he preached on you tube the police should have raided his house. No one was listening to that nonsense but kids and guys just starting. They were listening to the worst bodybuilding, or drug use
advice, ever put on the net. Its horrible to day but i was happy when he dropped dead it proved that's what will happen if you live that lifestyle.
As fkr bodybuilding itself , I competed from 1990 at 18 until 1999. I fid very well. I was a middleweight at a time that was the most crowded class. I finished second in the first teen contest I did. Then i won my class and four overalls in 11 contests straight. I then moved to national level contests finishing 3rd, 2cnd, 3rd, 6th the last one being the NPC USA.. I used straight from 1990-99. I knew at least 8 older guys who are now dead of heart attacks in their mid 50's. So, i do believe anabolics have a negative cardiovascular affect. What is a myth is roid rage, that orals damage your liver(find me a single medical case), and that they can not be used safely and effectively. One problem is they are mentally addicting. Im much smaller than i used to be but still look better than 99.9% of the population. That becomes a part of you and I could never allow myself to be normal. Seriously , I have had the most beautiful girl friends and ex wife, to this day. That would stop right away if i looked normal. That's a negative. I have no plans to ever compete again but im starting to use again like i am.
Will i make it to 60, I have no idea. Either way I wouldn't go back and change one thing. Im a bodybuilder, I love the sport. I would do it all over again.
