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

I never focus on contraction. I'm focusing on my muscle. I'm not focusing on a certain style of lifting or contracting. I'm just trying to get the weight up. I'm trying to build muscle.

I always say to myself right before a tough set in the gym, Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it.

I've attained my mass basically by training hard and very, very heavy.

I know that in order for something to work for me it has to be extremely powerful.

Most people know who I am. Then I get the people who don't know who I am and just want to take a picture with a guy with muscles. I get more people that know me than anything.

There's no secrets or magic tricks to being successful in life. It's plain and simple. Work harder than everyone else and the only way to do that is to do it. It may sound silly but it's the truth and there aint nothing to it but to do it!
