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.

You wanna be big, you lift big weights. You wanna be little, you lift little weights.

I would never have turned pro training like an average bodybuilder. There is no substitute for intensity.

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 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 think that strength levels go hand in hand with building a great physique. You've got to lift heavy weight to get big - period.
