I saw a t-shirt once that said:
You gotta hurt, to wear the big shirt!
Yeah man, I love those stories, Michalik was an animal in every sense of the word. I am borderline insane at times when it comes to my training but those guys were in a completely different league of their own.

Force has no place where there is need of skill. - Herodotus
So needless to say, other than my whole foods and shakes, I also find myself shoveling in shitloads of capsules and tablets and mixing numerous powders. It’s a pain in the ass, but this is advanced bodybuilding–it ain’t a fucking birthday party.

Freak? I hope I am. This is all I know. It’s the only way I was able to get myself to grow. You need to stay on top of your meals and nutrition NO MATTER WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE.

Another by Bulldog on training motivation…
Find that spark inside you and make it the biggest fucking fire around.
Why you should be strong.
"A man who doesn’t exercise will have a weak body, a sluggish mind, weak will and will lack energy. He can hardly hope to succeed in the the times that we are experiencing and can expect to continue to an uncertain time in the future. And the man that lives right and exercises right not only obtains tremendously powerful muscles that obey his every command but his internal organs perform their duties perfectly. He also obtains a thorough mastery of his will and an easy and contented mind.
This frequent employment of one’s will power makes it possible to control the body and to easily perform feats that otherwise would be difficult or impossible. This type of man becomes independent and self-reliant. He will never be a coward and when real danger threatens, he is the one that others look to and depend upon.
When a man is strong he has a real mastery over himself. This strength breeds energy and courage, helps to meet with success the more difficult problems and tasks of life. Results in true contentment and enjoyment of living. Who would want to be inactive and weak when proper physical training benefits so greatly?"

“Heroes may not live forever, but cowards do not live at all.”

Zeus: “You know, son, even a god can die.”
Hercules: “Aye, father, but only a mortal may truly live.”
And one I coined back in high school (that NO ONE seemed to get!):
“Life’s a bitch… And I fucked her!”
