I learned from a very young age that no one owes you anything and nobody's gonna give you a damn thing. But you can have anything you want, if you work hard enough for it.
You wanna be big, you lift big weights. You wanna be little, you lift little weights.
The harder you work and the more you sear and bleed for a win, the sweeter that victory tastes.
I always go heavy and I always go to failure.
I train for two reasons. Number one, I love working out, and number two, I want to win. You can't win if you don't train to the best of your ability.
I always go heavy and I always go to failure. Even when I tell myself I'm gonna go easy, once I get to the gym and start working, I never end up going easy. I hate leaving the floor feeling like I could have done more weight or more reps. I just love working out and going further than I ever did before.
I would never have turned pro training like an average bodybuilder. There is no substitute for intensity.
It took me 20 years of hard training to get the physique I have today. what you need is what i had - BELIEF IN YOURSELF.
I think that strength levels go hand in hand with building a great physique. You've got to lift heavy weight to get big - period.
When I was 18 years old I knew pretty much what I wanted to do in life. When I was 18 I knew I wanted to be a pro bodybuilder.
