Mr. Olympia

I just woke up from a nap like 20 minutes ago.

My weekend after, it's like post-Olympia, we went out... savannah came with us and spencer a bunch of a bunch of us went out right and we got back at 7 a.m okay sunday morning that's when i came and saw that's when we went to brunch but like here guys listen to this shit bb is bb is texting me what time is brunch as i'm going to bed like she's she's waking up to go to a dark sport shoot at like 7 a.m as i'm getting in bed and i'm like god damn it

Don't

text me.

So I got home at like 11 p.m. with the time change.

Next morning, I was up at 6 a.m. to go to the Fire Academy.

I haven't slept normal since like before Olympia.

It's ridiculous.

Mm-hmm

... around Europe and whatever to get to the pro qualifier, and it was only, like, the World Championships or, like, the European Championships or the Arnolds or the Amateur Olympia that you could get your pro card at.

Yeah.

So it was, uh, it was not very often.

And, like, you, you reached a point where you're like, "I need to, like, make a decision here, like how far I wanna go with the sport because this look is becoming very difficult to achieve." Oh, yeah.

And, you know, the, the elite level athletes, these were bodies you saw on stage.

Like, you would go to, like, like, a, an Olympia or, like, the Arnold and you'd be like, "Oh my God." Like, it's absolutely crazy.

Like...

Love it.

Um, [laughs] anyway, we, uh, are going to recap the Olympia.

We just both watched it this weekend.

So Lee Marie was able to watch the bikini pre-judging.

Right

... to see the bikini finals, which is crazy.

Um, but yeah, we have a, our first ever Olympian for the fit model division.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

We got the Olympia in two days or three days? Three days.

It's Wednesday, so Saturday, yeah.

We got the Olympia in three days, the top bikini competitors, the top fit model competitors.

Yeah.

probably we could name the top 10 probably every one of them train glutes three times a week yeah

I

said tempo doesn't matter, but sprinting and just pure plyometrics, yes, they grow muscle, but they won't maximize muscle growth.

I don't really put a lot of pressure on myself.

Even when I was, you know, stepping on the Olympia stage, it wasn't like I was freaking out.

You know, I was just like, I belong here.

I earned this.

That's good.

And let's talk a little bit about your bodybuilding experience.

So I know you've done what the Olympia twice?

Olympia twice.

Entonces, lo que tú estabas hablando de una de las adicciones más comunes en el culturismo es la vigorexia, el no estar nunca lo suficientemente grande y acabas consumiendo excesivamente de todo para estar al máximo.

Bien, lo que quiero que expliques a la gente es primero la base y es decir, te lo pregunto así, sencillamente: para competir a los niveles que estamos acostumbrados a ver como Mister Olympia o cualquiera de esos clasificatorios, ¿es necesario la química? Es decir, tienes que administrarte testosterona, tienes que administrarte clembu-clenbuterol, todas esas.

¿Es así o no? ¿O tú crees que hay alguno que puede llegar a competir en esas competiciones sin consumir nada?

Bien, eh, además, eh, tú sabes que me caracteriza algo, eh, en mi forma de ser, que es tenaz como un pitbull, que es, es tratar de ser siempre sincero, ¿de acuerdo? Y voy a ser totalmente sincero, ¿vale? ¿Se puede hacer culturismo natural? Por supuesto, pero eso es como un coche de serie.

Mm-hmm

... you've judged me from the beginning of, like, some of my first NPC shows back in the day all the way up to some, one of my, my most recent, um, pro show, besides the Olympia.

Really?

Really?

Yes.

[laughs]

So can you afford to try something out if you're doing, you know, the, the Sasquatch Pro or the Olympia? No, you can't.

You need to be dialed.
