Early life

Hidetada Yamagishi was born and raised in Obihiro, Hokkaido. During his youth, he played rugby and started lifting weights while at Hokkaido Sapporo Asahigaoka High School. He then proceeded to Waseda University, where he pursued weightlifting more seriously.

Career

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 闘: 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; he served a 65-day sentence in an American prison before being released and having all felony charges dismissed. [2]

Yamagishi's "philosophy on training" is "an 'all or nothing' mentality. There is no such thing as 'impossible'. Train hard everyday, and even harder the next day!" [3]

He lives both in the US and Japan. He holds a degree in Sports Nutrition Science and National Certification in Japan from the NSCA-Japan [4] and National Certification in Japan for Acupuncture Therapy.
