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 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.

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.

Light weight ... Yeah buddy!
