I couldn’t agree more.
If I can quote yourself;

“Fuck this.
I’m taking control. It’s my choice on how I react to everything that goes on around me, and everything
that happens to me. I can either cry and let it bring me down and make me weaker. Or I can say screw it
bring it on, I will go through any mountain, any roadblock, any brick wall and I will smash it to be a
success.”

Being a success is more than reaching your goals. According to me it’s a mindset and a way of life. And with a mindset like the quote up there I think you can go far.

As we say in Sweden: “Vägen är viktigare än målet”, which basically means the road is more important than the goal. (I guess that quote is popoular “over the pond” aswell).

Thanks for the answer

I love the part in the scene where he is doing the power curls and he throws the weight onto the rack and it falls over and he just walks away not giving a f*ck.

I wish my old gym would have let me do that.

Im gonna be tossin weights around when i get my underground gym next year.

I will send a vid to Zach so he can post it up.

PURE Beast!

So, in regards to his goals, he achieved them and broke records, in life, yes, looks like he is a wreck.

As he went from training for olympics and world championships, to bodybuilding, singing, porn and now oldest bodybuilder in the world….

It’s unfortunate as it seems he never “found himself” and is always searching.

This is why I encourage people to go for their dreams, if porn is your dream, go for it, ha ha

But seriously, it seems as if he was just never satisfied or happy with where he was.

I’m a HUGE believer in balancing my family, work and health.

But, no lie, sometimes I work too much, other times not enough, it’s a game I will always juggle, but I have made the steps to get away from working day / night which could have made me an emotional wreck as well.

I’m pretty damn happy now and I want others to be happy as well.

Just payin it forward bruddah.

Peace!

I learned that move from a free-agent footballer from the 80’s who was also an alternate pick for the Olympic weightlifting team years ago.

Worked up to 225 and sometimes a little more. Guys used to give me a hard time about it; “that won’t make your bi’s grow!”

I didn’t care how big my guns were.

So I challenged the guy to a curl off with 135. He just looked at me.

I said, “Strict. No cheating.”

He grabbed the bar and could not even get one rep.

I did 6 strict reps with no swing at all and then slammed the weight to the floor. He never bugged me again. I was 32 at the time, so I wasn’t some twenty year old spring chicken. He was.

I’ve been layed up for two months from surgery, but I bet as soon as I can lift again, in several months of doing what my friend called “cheat or power curls” I could repeat that strict curl w/135 for 6 reps pretty easily. And I’m 47. I might just do it for the he-double hockey sticks of it…I think I will…

Booya!

All I can see is an emotional wreck of a man. He is a total psycho and besides being a great athlete, I don’t see what this man has accomplished in his life.

Look at this video for example.

Just yesterday you could read about him in the swedish newspaper about him going for “the oldest bodybuilder in the world”. I would say that being a great athlete has taken over his head.

That is NOT greatness.

You can give the 2 videos to 2 different groups of people and have each one write a comment about it and you will get 2 completly different responses.

The power of your mind and how you can see things will give you a direction for your goals. But you decide to take it or not.

I gonna kill those 135 with a powercurl and then see how much more do I have to add
