Sometimes even longer, this define's that steriods does wonders.. But of course steriods were llegal back in the days.. Plus the guy got paid to workout and had the best workout partners in the world..Not including that he slept 9-10hours a day.. Working out for this guy was like breathing air to use, but we sure can learn a lot from him.. -------------- Hugo Govea
