Forget steroids! Some bodybuilders take them for six or eight weeks in an effort to clinch a Mr. Universe title – but your idea of taking to win a “Mr. Novice State” is nuts.

I am against pumping up backstage. It makes you “lose touch” with your muscles.

I’ve always had pretty good size and not too bad “cuts” but I think my physique is lacking. I did take steroids for six months two years ago but all they did was thicken my waist area and maybe my arms got a little bigger, but nothing dramatic happened.
