I always go heavy and I always go to failure.

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 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 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.

And it hit me like a ton of bricks - that people will put you on a pedestalto only later pull it from under you. Stability.

Maybe that's why Jesus was so fond of parables: Nothing describes the indescribable like a good yarn.

What weeping adds quietly to your life. Happiness can't even have idea of it.

If you're feeling pressure, then you shouldn't be here.

It's amazing that even though I've lost everything else, I still have wrestling.

The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.

where is the 'punch' in sweetness and light?

We should do whatever we can to cut through the scum that has grown on our understanding and rediscover freshness.

It's the not the subject that interests me as much as my perception of the subject.

You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine
