Dorian Yates

Finished.

You know?

And the fact that I've got all this, every single workout from 1983 to 1997 written down, all the diets, later on when I'm using anabolics, what I'm using and how long and all this stuff so I could analyze it, you know?

See what's working and what's not working.

A lot of guys were like...

shooting in the dark, hoping they're going to hit something, but they don't.

And I didn't have time to waste.

This was a mission.

I didn't have skills.

I didn't have a family, all this stuff.

So bodybuilding was my road to change my life.

Where it was going at first, I didn't know, but I knew it was going somewhere.

I knew I could be very good at it.

Well, the first thing I was into was Bruce Lee, right?

So, you know, Bruce Lee.

And even I was impressed with his physique then.

Now I look, compared to a bodybuilder, it's very lean.

But the abs and everything had that poster on the wall, you know, with the cuts down there and everything.

So I was doing push-ups.

Just in my last year at school, I started getting bodybuilding magazines and doing a bit of weight training.
