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.

Bodybuilding is an art, your body is the canvas, weights are your brush and nutrition is your paint. We all have the ability to turn a self portrait into a masterpiece.

I'll never be a weightlifter.
