I plan to transition from bodybuilding to other athletic pursuits like CrossFit after my competitive career.

I have made a commitment to prioritize my health and well-being over competitive success in bodybuilding.

I have concerns about longevity and health due to the physical demands of bodybuilding.

I had considered quitting bodybuilding until the classic physique category was introduced, which reignited my passion for the sport.

I think the modern bodybuilding era has progressed in terms of efficiency in nutrition, training, and recovery compared to Arnold's time.

To gain muscle, you need to ensure you're consuming enough nutrients, training hard enough, and allowing for proper recovery.

To get stronger, focus on progressively increasing the loads you move; for hypertrophy, aim for localized, intense muscle contractions, and moving weights in the 30% to 80% range of your one repetition maximum is the most beneficial for muscle hypertrophy and strength.

Many aspiring bodybuilders underestimate the importance of genetics and years of hard work behind my success.

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