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.

The mind is everything. If you don’t believe you can do something then you can’t. If you believe that your upbringing was substandard and therefore you have to walk around as a refugee from that crisis situation for the rest of your life, forever bearing the burden of that experience then that will be YOUR life.

My goal is to be a contributor and to encourage others as they realize their dreams.

The weight is just a tool. Do you focus on the hammer or the nail? You better focus on the thing you're trying to hit.

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.

I feel for food more than I could crave a woman. And that's the truth!

I am a believer, I am believer that we shape and create the life that we choose, and I believe that the tool that we have to do that, is our mind.
