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.

I always go heavy and I always go to failure.

The harder you work and the more you sear and bleed for a win, the sweeter that victory tastes.

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.

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.

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