BODYBUILDING QUOTES

"I have nothin' to say I just wanna eat my cake."
-Lou Ferrigno
.
"If we don't know what stress is then we won't know what feels good....Man ...When this is over with do you know how good cake is going to taste to me? It tastes that much better because I've deprived myself of it for so long! It's like....I feel for food more than i could crave a woman..And that's the truth! The thought of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches just takes me over the HIIIIIILL! I can do another hour of cardio thinking in a couple of weeks I'm going to tear the hell out of some cake! I'm going to walk into a local bodega in New York City and I'm not going to care about the calorie count, I'm not going to care about how many grams of carbs are in it, how much fat, how much sugar. I'm just going to pick it up and eat the shit and feel good about it!!!"
-Kai Greene, Treadmill Confessions

"The body that isn't used to maybe the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth repetition with a certain weight... So that makes the body grow, then. Going through this pain barrier. Experiencing pain in your muscles and aching, and just go on and on. And this last two or three or four repetitions, that's what makes the muscle then grow. And that divides one from a champion and one from not being a champion. If you can go through this pain barrier, you may get to be a champion. If you can go through, forget it. And that's what most people lack, is having the guts. The guts to go in and just say I'll go through and I don't care what happens. It aches, and if I fall down, I have no fear of fainting in the gym. Because I know it could happen. I threw up many times while I was working out. But it doesn't matter, because it's all worth it."
-Arnold Schwarzenegger
.
"I'm the strongest bodybuilder that ever lived, I think."
-Franco Columbu

Pain is a sign of weakness leaving the body.

"The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds."
-Henry Rollins
.
"Rule of thumb: Eat for what you're going to be doing, and not for what you have done. Don't take in more than you're willing to burn off. "
-Lee Haney
.
"Stimulate don't Annihilate."
-Lee Haney
.
"The best activities for your health are pumping and humping."
-Arnold Schwarzenegger

-Jon Pall Sigmarsson
.
And last, but not least, just before our prayer meeting:
You fargin sneaky bastage. I'm gonna take your dwork. I'm gonna nail it to the wall. I'm gonna crush your boils in a meat grinder. I'm gonna cut off your arms. I'm gonna shove 'em up your icehole. Dirty son-a-ma-batches.
-Roman Moronie
