Can you be a little more specific with your "health problems" or would you prefer not to?

I'm just curious.

for whatever reason I lost alot of hair after I stopped using gear. While on I used finasteride regularly and didnt lose a single hair. I continued with the finasteride afterwards but I still lost quite a bit of hair. Everyone in my family has a full head of hair btw.

I had issues with my blood sugar after using insulin. that has since resolved over the past few years though.

I was never insanely strong but handled 500 in the squat and dl regularly. I have alot of scar tissue in my wrists and more and more I wake up pretty stiff in the AM and it takes a while before I'm moving fluidly.

The knots in me arse have finally softened. I had gold balls of scar tissue in several inj sites for many years.

As I was cycling off years back I started sweating like crazy and it just never stopped. I use drysol which helps a bit but my hands still sweat like a faucet even in 10 degree weather.

I always feel like my libido isnt what it should be but I often think I'm comparing it to when I was on 2 grams of test. I started using anabolics (not androgens) at 17 which was just a bad idea.

I actually stopped using gear when I thought I had an infection in my arm from site injecting EQ. I started myself on antib's and ended up with candidia in my throat. I had yeast pockets allover my mouth and could barely swallow (couldnt eat) for 2 weeks. I lost 30 lbs and my pop caught on to what I was doing so I quit gear and training for good. I also got a visit from the DEA but thats another story lol

I don't think Ronnie is a multi millionaire.

When he became Mr O, he took part only in Mr O and the European Grand Prix after that. Mr O don't pay millions for first placers. European Grand Prix was just a convenient way for him to make money since he is ripped to shreds after Mr O and the prize money was not exactly good. Although he did take part in Test of Strength once.

He doesn't have that many endorsement deals other than supplement companies which are not exactly raking in millions to pay him millions. Also, when he was Mr O, a great portion of his time was spent training after taking a few months off. I doubt he does personal training.

I know he has what is probably a custom Bentley which is probably costly in Arlington. Other than that, I don't think he has a fleet of nice cars.

But one point you have understated is Ronnie is a giant in modern bodybuilding and probably the greatest bodybuilder in modern times. A true great and fantastic human being.

Coleman's BSN deal was worth $750k, and he said in a radio show that he earns about $6k per appearance. Regardless, bodybuilding isn't a sport you get into for the money.

I would not be at all surprised to find out that the average PRO dose is half what the average hungry national competitor doseage is. You either have it or you "almost" have it.

see: Gavin Kane/Almost Pro

Kunks pro dose is exactly what I would imagine a elite level cycle to be at. nothing odd, just 2.5 of the basics, some tren, and gh when you can afford it.

Dorian in his prime when competing was 30 around the waist.
He may be 35 if you measure his protruding dozen pack abs.

i very much think that he is. you forgot to add seminars, the videos he sells, modelling for fitness magazines, advertising and then you have the sponsors. if youve ever seen his vids you will know he has a Hummer H2, Bentley continental, one of those stupid american SR2 thingies or whatever, a escalade and another one i cant remember. Coleman is very much a multi-milionaire.

i did at 245. 33-34 now. all my bigger stuff was sold or in the process of being sold. you are very concerned with my waist.
