According to the interview, the 75-year-old pro opened up about his past with steroids and was concerned about the current bodybuilders. He warned them not to follow in his footsteps and simply stay away from steroids. Speaking of his association with the drugs, he revealed he was taking testosterone and Dhol with a dosage of 100 mg per week.?
Despite that, Arnie is mindful of his influence on the youth and clarified that experts always supervised his doses.

He simply advised the youth, ?Don?t go there,? since it?s not worth playing with life in that manner. However, that was not all of his expert insight on the issue.?
