Dorian Yates

As I observed the history of bodybuilding, the guys that were great champions, they were great like out the gate.

They didn't get...

I don't know, 12th place in Mr. Olympia and then next year a winner, right?

You got it or you don't have it, right?

That's what I thought.

I'm going to be brutally honest with myself.

I have a gym.

I'm making okay money now.

If I don't compete, I could open more gyms, put more time into that.

I have a young son.

You know, they're kind of making a sacrifice of time and energy and everything because I'm putting everything into this.

So if I don't get in the top five in the Knights of Champions, competitive career is over, steroids are over.

do something else within sport, open more gyms or something like that.

Anyway, the story is I got second, so I continued to do what I got to do as a professional, and I feel it was justified because I was earning a lot of money, more money than anyone else I knew ever earned.

But what's my advice?

If you were a 20-year-old guy and you were speaking to me and I'm giving you advice,

Get as far as you can naturally, yeah?

And then look at it.

But whatever gains you make by taking anabolics is a temporary situation.

You will lose it when you get off, right?
