For me winning isn`t surprising at all

During weight cutting your mind plays tricks on you.

Steroids are used in all sports.

All else being equal, the guy with the best genetics will have the best physique. But rarely are all things equal.

The single biggest mistake that most beginners make is putting 100% of their effort into the positive (concentric) part of the rep, while paying no attention to the negative (eccentric) segment

If I listened to my instincts, I'd be down at the pub chasing women, not under a 400 pound bar squatting

Back in the 80s we were very cautious about steroids.

If those guys with better genes trained as hard and intense as me, I wouldn`t stand a chance!

Each workout is like a brick in a building, and every time you go in there and do a half-ass workout, you're not laying a brick down. Somebody else is.

One set at extreme intensity does the muscle-building job. It must be stressed that the one final, all-out set I do takes me to the very limit of my capabilities. If you feel you can attempt a second set, then you couldn’t have been pulling out all the stops during the first set. It's not pretty, but it works.

I started training bodybuilding in 1983.

At the end of the day it's not a weight contest, it's a visual contest. And it doesn't matter what you say you weigh, if you don't look that big then you don't look that big.

That's a good weight...for a small woman

I also think you have less separation if you are fuller. If you go to the gym and pump your arms up they are bigger because of the blood volume, the fullness. But the separation is not so defined.
