I've been training so long, its second nature to push myself to the limit.

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.

If you take a hammer and hit something over and over again, it's gonna be destroyed. I don't wanna destroy my body cause I want my body to last me as long as it possible can. If you train hard and push it everyday, your body is going to wear out. So I give my body time to recover.

I always train heavy and it worked well for me. I always train heavy and put on size for a competition. Most people would be worried about an injury but if you're gonna worry about it so much, it's gonna happen anyway.

Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but don't nobody wanna lift no heavy ass weight.

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