Biography

Yamagishi was born on 30 June 1973 and grew up in Obihiro, Hokkaidō. During his youth, he played rugby and started lifting while at Hokkaidō Sapporo Asahigaoka High School. He then proceeded to Waseda University, where he pursued weightlifting more seriously.

Yamagishi has appeared in a number of magazines, including Weekly Playboy, Tarzan, and Ironman Japan, and has released a number of few training videos/DVDs, the latest being called A Warrior's Fight. He has also appeared on television in Japan.

In January 2008, Yamagishi was charged in California with possession (and supposed distribution) of steroids; and he served a 65-day sentence in an American prison before being released (on 15 February 2008) and having all felony charges dismissed.

Yamagishi's "philosophy on training" is : "an 'all or nothing' mentality. There is no such thing as 'impossible'. ...[T]rain hard everyday; and even harder the next day!"

He is married and resides in both the United States and Japan. He holds a degree in Sports Nutrition Science and National Certification in Japan from the NSCA-Japan and National Certification in Japan for Acupuncture Therapy.

Biography

Curry was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. He first became interested in weight training when he received a pair of Hulk Hogan-branded dumbbells for his sixth birthday.Curry would later recall in a magazine interview that he was motivated by superhero action figure G.I. Joe and the Rocky and Rambo films to develop his body to its fullest muscular capacity.

As a child, Curry's parents enrolled him gymnastics classes, but he lost interest in the sport.Curry was involved in wrestling, track and field and football while he was a student at Hunters Lane Comprehensive High School in Nashville.

Curry attended Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where he majored in exercise bnn science. He initially played on the university's football team, but later left the team and switched his athletic focus to bodybuilding-related weight training.

Initially competing in the light-heavyweight class, Curry won his first bodybuilding competition, the 2003 Supernatural Bodybuilding & On June 17, 2006, he came in second in the light-heavyweight division at the NPC Junior National Championships; the five-foot-seven Curry weighed 189 pounds for that event. The following year, with 28 additional pounds added to his frame, he moved up to the heavyweight division for the NPC USA Championships on July 28, 2007, where he finished second in his division. On November 17, 2007, he came in second in the heavyweight division for that year's NPC National Championships.

On July 25, 2008, Curry won both the heavyweight division and the overall of the NPC USA Championships, which secured him ranking as a professional bodybuilder.Curry is not only a bodybuilder he also works as a personal trainer in gym.

Any way he going to be in Mr Olympia his practices were going well.

The Side Effects Of Anabolic Steroids

The disruption of the natural hormone state in men can produce the following side effects:

Accelerated male-pattern baldness
Decreased sex drive
Reduced sperm counts
Breast development
Testicle shrinking

While men may experience feminization, women may experience a masculinization with side effects including:

Clitoris enlargement
Menstrual cycle changes
Deepened voice
Breast reduction
Male-pattern baldness
Facial hair

Both sexes put themselves at increased risk for:

Skin disease (acne and cysts) -
Cardiovascular disease (strokes and heart attacks)
Liver disease (cysts and cancer)
Psychological effects (from depression to aggression)

The above shouldn't be considered a complete list of the potential side effects of steroids, but rather a partial listing of some of the more common risks

Banned Anabolic Steroids

Anabolic steroids are banned by all major sports bodies including the Olympics, the NBA, the NHL, and the NFL. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) maintains an extensive list of all banned performance-enhancing substances. Some include the following:

Oral Steroids




Anadrol (oxymetholone)
Oxandrin (oxandrolone)
Dianabol (methandrostenolone)
Winstrol (stanozolol)

Injectable Steroids



Deca-Durabolin (nandrolone decanoate)
Durabolin (nandrolone phenpropionate)
Depo-Testosterone (testosterone cypionate)
Equipoise (boldenone undecylenate)

Steroids Facts

The risks involved in body building supplements are often confused with supplements that are medically approved and those types of supplements that poses some form of health risk because a person seek a faster and more effective way to build larger muscle.

Some bodybuilders use anabolic steroids and it may be true that it is effective in building bigger impressive muscles much quicker, the negative effects of these kinds of supplements are outweighing the positive results by far and in some instances with severe and irreversible consequences. On top of it all, making use of anabolic steroids is illegal.



Anabolic steroids, technically known as anabolic-androgen steroids (AAS) or colloquially simply as "steroids" or "'roids", are drugs which mimic the effects of the male sex hormones: testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. They increase protein synthesis within cells, which results in the buildup of cellular tissue (anabolism), especially in muscles

The Risks and Dangers in Bodybuilding Supplements

Regardless if anabolic steroids are used or abused, the health risk implicated is seriously not worth it. It is common knowledge that steroids significantly reduce a man’s sperm count, cause shrinkage of the testicles, trigger hair loss, and affects the vocal cords. Females using anabolic steroids know that they will have deal with sudden facial hair growth, reduced breasts, and likely a more masculine voice.

However, yet these side effects might not be as scary, but few people know that regardless if you use anabolic steroids moderately or abuse it completely, there are other health implications that are much more severe than those that are commonly known. The use of anabolic steroids lead to the forming of cancerous tumors, damages the liver, hardens arteries, causes heart diseases, enlargement of the heart, skin problems such as acne, interference with the central nervous system and causing aggressive and even violent behavior.
