What he said.
However, I didn't enjoy doing squats because it hurt my back.
Instead, I used the machine where you sit low on the floor and your back is supported, and you push the weight up on an incline.
I really didn't spend much time on my lower body because it responded more easily to training. I spent much more time on my chest, shoulders, and lats to improve symmetry.
I would do everything again except for the steroids, and I wouldn't strive for bigger size. It's not necessary to get "bulked-up". I would just want to be healthier: improve strength and increase lean muscle mass. Having a higher percentage of lean muscle tissue raises your metabolism. Fat is inert and doesn't burn calories. Muscle, even at rest, burns calories.
