I never gave up, even when people told me I’d never make it. Never underestimate the heart of a champion.
It’s like you have to save your own life, nobody is going to be your savior for you, so we have to do what we have to do, no matter what it is.
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.
You come to a point in your life and you may be in bed just thinking about it. Ask yourself what is stopping you from becoming your dreams.
If you don’t believe you can do something then you can’t.
It’s a very interesting thing to try to be your absolute best – not a percent better or a percent worse than that.
Get out, realize your dream, and go for it.
My goal is to be a contributor and to encourage others as they realize their dreams.
We are here to learn and to make our dreams realized.
Your dreams will always be more important to you than anyone else, you can want something as much as you want but at the end of the day your mum doesn’t care if your arms are 24 inches or not, but that doesn’t mean you give up, chase your dreams.
In the mind of every artist there is a masterpiece.
What am I doing with my life? Am I just going to some humdrum job that I don’t really want to be at, doing some minuscule task, getting paid to be a mindless drone? Or am I out there living life, on my terms, the way I want to live it, doing the things that I want to do?
I’ve found my true calling in life, and I’m living life on my terms.
I feel it is a tremendous compliment to a natural competitor to hear “I just don’t believe you’re natural,” because it means you just look that good.
I do like to believe there is no stupid and or funny question because in fact if we don’t ask than we don’t learn.
Is it 10g of protein more or 10g of protein less, who cares, just get started.
In the beginning it wasn’t bodybuilding competition that motivated me, it was just getting muscles and getting big. And certainly it has evolved for me since then. I think I’m still evolving.
Bodybuilding has been the tool that single-handedly taught a little black boy from the projects to use his mind to achieve success. it taught me to see things for what they can be. I had 17-inch arms; I imagined them to be 24 inches. The power of my mind allowed me to achieve what I imagined.
I feel for food more than I could crave a woman. And that’s the truth!
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’ll never be a weightlifter...
