'Professional bodybuilding is a sport of total dedication. You must dedicate every aspect of every day to the attainment of your goals if you want to succeed.

'If you want to get big, you gotta learn to feel it. No exercise works if you don't feel it in the muscle that you're targeting.

I think about getting the ultimate contraction in the muscle I'm targeting and I don't stop until I feel that.' - Jay Cutler, IFBB Pro.

Favor common sense over expert opinion. Act on your ideas while they are fresh.' - Lee Iacocca
