success motivational-sports bodybuilding
Well, you know, I'm the forever optimist.
motivational-sports giving-up matter
Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction, the quitting response that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn't matter.
funny motivational-sports witty
It's simple, if it jiggles, it's fat.
strength sports fitness
Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.
motivational-sports athlete body
I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.
sports girly motivational-sports
I'll be back always sounded a little girly to me.
sports spiritual winning
I had a clear vision of myself winning the Mr. Universe contest. It was a very spiritual thing, in a way, because I had such faith in the route, the path, that there was never a question in my mind that I would make it.
sports dream jesus
I was always dreaming about very powerful people. Dictators and things like that. I was always impressed by people who could be remembered for hundreds of years. Even like Jesus, being remembered for thousands of years.
sports motivational-sports warrior
You'll get more from being a peacemaker than a warrior.
sports moving winning
My instinct was to win, eliminate anyone who is in competition, destroy my enemy, and move on without any kind of hesitation at all.
sports winning competition
Onstage I'm always different than offstage. I can be very friendly offstage, but onstage I will pull one trick after another on my competition to wipe him out, you know-because it's my living and I have to win. Franco is my best friend, but I will do as much as I can to make him look bad and make me look good.
success sports looks
You don't really see a muscle as a part of you, in a way. You see it as a thing. You look at it as a thing and you say well this thing has to be built a little longer, the bicep has to be longer; or the tricep has to be thicker here in the elbow area. And you look at it and it doesn't even seem to belong to you. Like a sculpture. Then after looking at it a sculptor goes in with his thing and works a little bit, and you do maybe then some extra forced reps to get this lower part out. You form it. Just like a sculpture.
sports running race
The better you get, the less you run around showing off as a muscle guy. You know, you wear regular shirts-not always trying to show off what you have. You talk less about it. It's like you have a little BMW - you want to race the hell out of this car, because you know it's just going 110. But if you see guys driving a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, they slide around at 60 on the freeway because they know if they press on that accelerator they are going to go 170. These things are the same in every field.
sports beach people
I have a good sense of my body in a bathing suit around people who appreciate what I'm doing, like a contest. Then I'm proud. On television I am proud. But on a beach most people are not experts. The general public doesn't know how to look. How proud can you be when they don't even know what they're looking at?
