I workout frequently Fitness & Sports has been my life for over 45 years believe it or not.
I don't drink anymore it's been 19 years, i did not have a drinking problem. I have never in my life smoked tobacco and never got hooked on drugs. My view is why let alcohol, drugs and tobacco run your life in the ground. One more note i have never been on any medication in my lifetime. Also at this time in my life i can bench press over 300 lbs and leg press 1200 lbs ten times.
