People get very creative if you include them.

All exercises that you do with your own bodyweight are great.

The best activities for your health are pumping and humping.

When you have a well developed body and you’re confident, you see people bending your way, wanting to be on your side, wanting to do things for you.

I believe in the philosophy of staying hungry. If you have a dream and it becomes a reality, don’t stay satisfied too long. Make up a new dream and hunt after that one and turn it into a reality.

You can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don’t think about it, I just have it.

Ideas are the beginning of all achievement.

Either push your limits or die.

Work hard, have fun and make history.

Don’t let complexity stop you.

Don’t spend major time on minor things.

I’m as proud of what we don’t do as I am of what we do.

If things aren’t breaking, then you’re not moving fast enough. People learn by making mistakes.
