What are you more hungry for?
Is really the question, because it was always my question.
Am I more hungry to be Mr. Olympia?
Or am I more hungry to eat like everyone else out there and therefore look like everyone else.
That was my question.
To me I was more hungry and more interested about the fact of becoming a champion.
And being ripped on stage, and being cut and winning the trophy and all of those kind of things.
Because I knew that if I would just have a temporary joy here..
And eat and cheat ..
.. I'm most likely not gonna make it.
That someone else is gonna walk right by me.
And someone else is gonna grab that title.
Because many times those competitions were very very close.
Any mistake could have cost me the title.
So this is not a mistake that I want to make.
I wanna be reponsible that I do EVERYTHING that I can to be a WINNER!!
From then on..
If I lose, which I have..
I lost against Sergio, I lost against Frank Zane.
Then it was not because I screwed up
It was just because they were better.
I need another year, or I need another two years.
But the worse thing is that if you lose a competition or if you're not quite reaching your goal because you didn't do everything that you could do.
And this is why I say to people, is think about that twice before you grab something else..
Stay on your diet, stay focused
When you have that question and you're about to eat and cheat..
Think about what your goal is.
And this is gonna help you get to your goal.
We had a habit after we trained at Gold's Gym..
That we would go and all go and have lunch together.
Celebrate the great workout that we had.
But we would watch each other.
Yes people would have steak and a hamburger and all this..
But if someone had the bread with the hamburger ..
We would bust him right then and there.
What is your goal? What is your vision? Where do you want to go?
Does this screw up now, is this really a need to have some bad food?
Is this gonna help me?
