Yeah you fucking right it says something about me. When you say ignorant stuff about a fellow lifter in what I consider a brotherhood of iron, I am going to call you a fucking moron and tell you that you should not write stuff about someone you are not willing to say to his face.
I met Wrath at the Animal cage at the Arnold and he is a good dude, dedicated as hell to this game and when your ignorant ass comes along and tear him and his girl down, I am going to speak up. I do not expect you to understand what I am talking about.

THANK YOU…stick together. But now your gonna make me post all my favorite quotes from Wrath. Ecspecially now that im getting ready for my first ever contest. So here we go:
1.) How do you know you’re ready? Let me tell you something… You don’t. As I’m lying here in the dark, alone in the gym and thinking about the next 18 weeks, I know this… You won’t find answers anywhere. It’s not written in any book. There’s no guide. Nobody’s gonna tell you it’s time. Only one person will know… You. You just got to want it bad enough. Maybe one day you’ll wake up and you’ll know today’s the day and you start your own journey.
Just remember this… Making the decision to venture into the unknown, into uncharted territory–that’s the hard part. You get over that, and your future will open up. Destiny will be within your grasp. That doesn’t mean things will get any easier. Fuck no, they won’t. But just getting to the edge, being able to look over–that’s why I’m here.
Listen, you can’t wait until you think you’re ready. I got news for you–you’ll never be ready. You’ll never be big enough. You’ll never be lean enough. Your lagging parts will never catch up quick enough. So if you waited for that time when you thought you might be ready, you’d never step up. And if you don’t step up, you’re not in the game
2.)People go through life taking a lot of things for granted. How easily they could eat whatever they want, when they wanted. They live life on the surface?they don?t try to see below it. When others see a slice of pizza or a burger, they?re thinking about how good it tastes. They?re looking for satisfaction, gratification. For me, when I see food, I see two things and two things only. I see bricks and I see shit. Each good food I eat, well, it?s another brick in this motherfucking house I?m building. I knew going in that it would take a lot of bricks and a lot of time. But if I eat that burger or drink that beer, well then I?m eating shit.
It?s simple: You can?t build a house made of shit and expect it to stand up to the rain. With that first drop of water, you?re fucked. So for me, every time I see a piece of food, I?m asking myself, am I building up or am I tearing down? Will my house withstand any storm or will it easily crumble?
3.)The Ninety-Nines… That?s what I call ?em. Ninety-nine out of a hundred people can?t fathom what I do. They scratch their heads, can?t believe my dedication to this great sport. Many don?t even think this a sport or that I have a life. Never let others define your ?life? for you. This is what I have chosen. This is the road I?ve taken, with all the potholes, bumps, and turns. The Ninety-Nines, they can?t commit 100% to being their best, to step up one day and stand tall among the giants.?
I don?t play the lottery. I don?t have the winning ticket. Everything I have, I busted my ass for. The only thing I ever got handed to me are the genetics my old man passed down. From him, I learned the value of a work ethic and getting your hands dirty. To those who?ve always wanted more, stand with me. We are few and we must stand on the mountaintops to be heard.
When the day is done, our voices will carry. It shall be a call to all those who have always dreamed of something greater.?
To the naysayers, I say your words will fall on deaf ears. To the doubters, take your misgivings elsewhere. To the envious, do not desire what we will achieve. I will beat back mediocrity with a fierce hand, will demolish conformity, so that when it?s time to cash in my chips, I won?t leave a legacy of regret, that I didn?t go for mine. In each one of us lies the power to start something… So to those of you out there who can hear, let me say again, who are you and will you stand with me??
