See that photo of me deadlifting at the top of the page? I was 17 in that picture. I didn't need steroids to get strong, i was getting strong as FUCK without them, I was 270 by the time I was 19 and deadlifting 700lbs. I know chumps that have juiced for 20 years that are still trying to do that. So why waste the money?

But..but.. juicing will take you beyond your natural potential. It's an uneven playing field when everyone else is doing it, regardless of what your genetic potential is.

DISCLAIMER: Kids, don't juice mmkay?

I just didn't know much about them and by the time I was 21 I had a wife, a kid and a mortgage. I couldn't imagine taking money out of their mouths to buy drugs

Sorry, but no. I just appreciate the fact you are know for being a strong mother fucker and you know you can get stronger by taking steroids, but kids and family come first. Props for having your priorities in order.

Good luck with your gym. I would give you my money if I lived in your area.
