yeah, I read the steroids thing on the second read. That is ridiculous I agree. I wish I could squeeze in two solid hours every day to workout; I manage to get 1 -2 hours five or six days a week, but all that working and running errands and stuff gets in the way. I guess if I ever get off my a$$ and become a self-sufficient writer, I could workout while letting the mind work on new story ideas. Lots of things I want to get into now: just started liking yoga, and Pilates is really great. And I swore I'd take up martial arts this year (my dream is to take aikijutsu--the original art, not the "do" form usually taught, tae kwon do, and kung fu). Oh--and I guess I really should getting around to learning to swim. At 6'1" and 210 pounds, I'd be a hell of a tough panicking person for someone to pull out of the water!

Always a wise choice. I wonder how he'll feel about it if get liver cancer or impotency from the steroids so he could fulfill a look for a role in a movie? I think there's a line there that I probably would not cross That said, I'd love to have personal trainer at my disposal every day to help me develop and maintain, a nutritionist is a must as well. If you don't fuel properly for your program, you can't achieve the desired results.
