I broke down sobbing on the bathroom floor six weeks before winning a world championship due to overwhelming pressure and anxiety.

Six weeks before the Olympia, I found myself crying on the bathroom floor due to overwhelming stress and anxiety from personal issues and health concerns.

I decided to retire right after winning the championship because it felt like the right moment for me, especially with a young daughter at home. I wanted to exit at the top, not on the way down.

It's okay to cry in the bathroom when things get tough; it's a part of the journey.

I realized that I was bottling up my emotions, and it took my fiancée's concern for me to break down and express my feelings.

I felt a strong emotional connection when we brought a contestant's daughter into a challenge, which made the moment impactful.

Winning is not just about the trophy; it's about the journey and the effort put in every day leading up to the competition.

I hope I won my sixth Olympia and want to bring my best package, despite the adversities I've faced over the years.

Winning the Olympia requires a willingness to sacrifice not just time, but also relationships and mental well-being.
