 I often get asked by young guys how I got into the supplement industry as a researcher and product formulator, and how they can do the same. The fact of the matter is that there is nothing in college you can learn regarding bodybuilding science other than the obvious background fundamentals such as biology and chemistry. I try to convey this to these guys and explain to them that I was self-taught and that the story of how I ended up where I am is not something they will probably ever be able to recreate. Unfortunately they don't seem to really understand this, so still they ask the same questions over and over again. So I figured that this month it might be fun to start telling the story of how I got to be involved in this industry as a chemist and a supplement company owner.

 Q: I have a friend who does a lot of core training using a Swiss ball. He claims that this type of training works your core much more than any other type of training. I think that Swiss ball core exercises are not all that great. I also think that just doing heavy free-weight exercises also works your core. Can you help us out in settling whether or not Swiss ball exercises are the best possible exercises for your core?

 First of all I want to say how much I love your column. I get MD every month and go straight to your article. I appreciate all the tidbits I've picked up over the years; they’ve really helped me as a bodybuilder. I’m 48 and trying to diet down for my first show. A guy I know who went to Nationals gave me a diet program that didn’t work (it included 7 cups of cooked rice a day), so I thought I'd solicit your advice on the diet I'm going to try next.
I'm 5'8" and 254 pounds, my body fat is about 15 percent and I'm 19 weeks, five days out from my show. I'm more of an endo-mesomorph (probably heavier toward the endo). My diet is as follows:

 OK, it’s time to discuss your favorite subject: prohormones!! It’s my favorite subject too, as I have spent many years studying and manufacturing the stuff, and have made most of my living selling them. I do wanna move on to other things— but people keep bugging me about prohormones so I keep discussing them. And I am sure this article won’t be the last one on the subject

 Just as scientists and the public were inaccurate in regarding all dietary fat as “fat,” so, too have they been in regarding the different forms of body fat as “fat.” When scientists, dietitians and clinicians looked past their entrenched bias, they discovered that some forms of dietary fat are more readily burned versus being stored, specific fatty acids act as hormone precursors and still others offer health benefits that remain to be fully understood.1,2

 Men who supplement their diet with protein products are often wary of using Soy protein because of its supposed testosterone-lowering effects. But a new research meta-analysis shows that the use of Soy protein or isoflavones (active constituents in Soy) does not have any negative effect on testosterone levels.
