I started training bodybuilding in 1983.

If those guys with better genes trained as hard and intense as me, I wouldn't stand a chance!

If I listened to my instincts, I'd be down at the pub chasing women, not under a 400 pound bar squatting

The single biggest mistake that most beginners make is putting 100% of their effort into the positive (concentric) part of the rep, while paying no attention to the negative (eccentric) segment

I have a swastika tattoo on my arm, but it's just because I like right-hand turns.

Believe me when I say that Bill Clinton's second term will be good for business. My business.

Happiness is there for the taking - and the making.

My main area of activism is the death penalty, and it will continue to be once this crisis is over with.

Leadership means that a group, large or small, is willing to entrust authority to a person who has shown judgement, wisdom, personal appeal, and proven competence.
