I AM VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW SO I WOULD HAVE TO SAY YES, I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IF IT IS WHAT GOT ME TO THIS POINT. IF I COULD HAVE GOTTEN TO THIS POINT EARLIER IN MY LIFE WITHOUT BODYBUILDING, I WOULD TRADE IT IN, YES.

I want to be a healthy 80 year old and have 2 more children. I want to enjoy my life, not have to struggle for much, not worry about what others think about me but how I feel about myself, not need the attention that I seeked to validate my existance when I was in my 20s and 30s.

You want more kids... Got to carry on the Hernon legacy mate?
How hard was it to adjust to not being on stage, in magazine and interviews and traveling all over the world? Is it hard not being "that guy" anymore and just a kinda regular guy like the rest of us..

AND what advice to you have for MIKES and others who are walking that line?
