I feel it is a tremendous compliment to a natural competitor to hear "I just don't believe you're natural," because it means you just look that good.

I don't really believe in cardio. I train with a very high intensity, which in turn gives it an aerobic effect. I like to use anaerobic resistance type movements or exercises. I don't believe in sitting on a Stairmaster or a bike for hours, that's just not me.

The person with the biggest dreams is more powerful than the person with all the answers.

I try to think of myself as a struggling competitor or specialist at my craft, much like a singer, dancer, comedian, or actor. So I'm struggling to do my craft and I'm continually trying to learn to do it better. I think that's what's really been my secret.

I've never competed in powerlifting. But my goals weren't to be a powerlifter. My goals were to pack on size and get big, big, big.

You have to think it before you can do it. The mind is what makes it all possible

We are here to learn and to make our dreams realized.
