thank god for pure natural strength

I've never really considered myself as being the best bodybuilder. I always try to let the people decide that. I just try to do the best I can do at whatever it is that I'm doing.

Hard work and training. There's no secret formula. I lift heavy, work hard and aim to be the best.

Light weight ... Yeah buddy!

Never underestimate the power of wide-grip pull-ups to develop width and size.

I loved challenging myself every day. The weight room was my therapy for everyday life stresses. No matter what I was doing I always wanted to be the best.

I used to think that my career was to be a police officer, and that is what I was put here to do. But I always kept the faith and always worked hard on my goals and I finally found out on Sept. 25, 1998, why I was put here - (God) called me here to be Mr. Olympia.
