if you mean steroids, the 3/4 back shot was taken 8 weeks into my first cycle. people didn't believe me then, and i'm sure they still won't. oh well!
i had been training since i was 11 years old and my discipline was unmatched.
i've battled a back problem my whole life. i believe i was training too hard and too heavy at too young an age.

hey guys, good to hear from all of you. i may end up training hard and competing yet. here's some recent shots, i'm not really proud of the way i look right now, but i've been training twice a week around a bad back. these are from nov 06, jan and feb 07, 260-262 in each pic.

great progressive pics you are still large today and it would be cool to see the differance of contest shape back then to now. Hope your back doesn't limit you too much

i actually only cycle when i am going to compete, which means i have taken up to 3 years off between using. i have completed clean before, and it is easier to preserve muscle dieting and using. prior to my first cycle, i could bench 350lb for a single for 3 straght years and it never increased. so i was definitely at a natural plateau, although in retrospect i was also cronically overtrained.

Superb pics man. You clearly had great genetics but not trying to take away from an obviously superb workrate and level of dedication. Still look great now buddy.
