Many women seem to have hang-ups about going out with me because they feel they have to be in the same shape that I am. If they're overweight, they're insecure, because they don't understand that I don't look at women the same way I look at myself.

Start wide, expand further, and never look back.

The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.

There are no shortcuts—everything is reps, reps, reps.

Together, we must renew our continued commitment to serve and pledge to bring a positive change to our communities.

The secret is contained in a three-part formula I learned in the gym: self confidence, a positive mental attitude, and honest hard work. Many people are aware of these principles, but very few can put them into practice. Every day I hear someone say, 'I'm to fat. I need to lose twenty-five pounds, but I can't. I never seem to improve.' I'd hate myself if I had that kind of attitude, if I were that weak. I can lose ten to forty pounds rapidly, easily, painlessly, by simply setting my mind to it.

If I would have listened to the naysayers, I would still be in the Austrian Alps yodeling.
