  Speaker 1: You need a physical vehicle that's this as the body.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I got a custom made one that I've been working
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: out a little bit. But it's just a body, you know.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: And when this thing ceased to exist doesn't mean I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: always cease to exist. I always exists, you know, it's eternal.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: But just this body and this experience is a temporary thing. Well,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: most people come into bodybuildings because they want to hey,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: look at me. They're extrovert people. I'm an introvert. So
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the thing that appealed to me was this is a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: total you win. You lose everything, and bodybuildings down to you.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: There's not a team sport. I loved it. It was perfect
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: for me. The difference was really mental, I think a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: matter of desire, because sometimes when you have things coming
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit easy, not giving one hundred percent. There
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: were no teammates, there were no family, there was nobody
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to let you down. It was just all down to me.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: We all lose. How big can I get? How rip
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: can I get? How strong can I get? I want
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to go to the max. And I don't want people
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to say, oh, that's wow, that's a nice, pretty physique.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I want people to.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Say, what the fuck is there.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to do. Everything's mental everything support
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you know, you create, Your reality is your thoughts. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: preferred to stay isolated. I saw a body building it
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: away to change and improve my life.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, come on its ways.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And then the last set is going to be like
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: like somebody's got a gun to your little baby's head. Yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and he's going to pull the trigger unless you fucking
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: give one hundred percent. It's life and death one set. Yeah,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: mm hmm.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You can ask my training partners. They never saw me.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Even my training partner would never see me with the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: top off because I was not interested in their opinion.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: No disrespect, but I was not interested in their opinion
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: because they're going to tell me I look great because
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I do to them, but I'm not standing next to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Lee Hany or whoever I was aspiring to compete with.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You've got to have a goal, you know. It's like
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you've got to have a plan and a desire, because
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: if haven't got a desire, when it gets really uncomfortable,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you're probably just going to say, hey, screw this, this
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: is enough. I had a nice physiqu when I started,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I had a nice physic I had nice
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: abs and everything, but I'm like, if I'm going to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: do this, I'm going to do this to the max.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: If you do something profession or sport or whatever, that
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that doesn't define you, that's not the whole of you.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Thing starts with your mind, your thoughts, and you can
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you can change your existing change your reality. Almost bodybuilding
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: was so individual for me. I had to study the nutrition,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I had to do it, the training. I had to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: find out how it worked with my body. If something's painful,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you don't want to do it right. But if you
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: can overcome that, and like if your body is telling
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you to eat and you can, you can like just
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: bring yourself to say you actually know I'm in control.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: There then other obstacles in life. I'm not going to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: be so difficult when you come to place. You build
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: your story with your with your mind, you know, and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I built this story. I wanted to be in a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: stromka that starts with a thought. Ultimately, we're creators. We're
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: all creators of our own reality. So if something in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: your life you don't like, or it's a problem or
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: whatever it's you've got to kind of figure out what
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: is it about yourself that created that or brought that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: into your life. You know, I always knew that I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: was cut out to do something different. I didn't relate
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to the circumstances and the people around me and their
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: view of what life was. You know, get a job,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: simple like you get a council house, get some kids,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: go to work.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I like, you've got to be more than that. You
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: can win, mister Olympia, then I can do this. I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: can do that in different different areas of my life.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: WHOA, Yeah, you know.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: The greatest thing in life, the greatest freedom is when
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you don't give a fuck, don't give a fuck what
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: people think anymore. That's really freedom. Yeah, it's like a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: computer game. It's like a virtual reality game that we're
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: all agreed to play in. I believe a lot of
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: people become what I call crystallized, you know, very early on.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: This is who I am, this is what I'm about,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and that's it. It's not like I'm dismissing my past.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: My past is it made me who I am. But
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I don't need to stay in the past. Yeah, I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: had no distractions in Birmingham. It's not a pretty place.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: You don't have beaches and all this kind of stuff
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and parties and girls and all the other kind of
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: stuff that the other guys that were exposed to, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I saw it as an advantage that I didn't have
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to deal with that. I just was pretty isolated, training, eating,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: sleeping all year around. That was my life and that's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: why I was the best. They knew all about each other,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: but Dorian Yates, they didn't know. It was almost like
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I had a feeling that I had to do this.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like, you know, I had to do it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I had to do it. It was like life or death.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: There's a spiritual aspect to train and to spare. As
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: an athlete, you will almost go to some places or
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: zones or something almost you shift a little bit under
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: extreme stress and pain. Sometimes you just it just kind
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of melts away and go to a different place. When
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I was going to the gym, I was almost like
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: an entrance, but nobody could ever talk to me because
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I was not there, just in my own world. So
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: between the sets, I just madely like look at the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: floor or talk to about you know, training by the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: hammer's weight, not like what didn't do last night or
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: anything like that. You know, it's none of that after training, yes,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: but not before or.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Not during song.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: W you know.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It all the guys I got ye.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Little so.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I'll say a god now didn't scream. Yeah.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: The guy that inspired me was Tom Platt. When I started,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: he wasn't mister Olympia, but he was very inspirational and
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: when he talked it was just full of the energy
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and enthusiasm for the training and pushing the body to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: its absolute maximum. This passion he had for like pushing
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: himself into the gym for the to the absolute maximum,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and that inspired me to do that and try and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: take it even further, put everything into it. You know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: nothing else exists almost that's my focus. I will not
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: be distracted by anything. I'm coming here upon myself. You
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: tend to be in your own little world and work
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: out your own things.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: M the Steell prison swim.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Oh it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Mustle your.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: To soon.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: See that. Yeah, it's first crazy.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, this is an experience that we haven't and this
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: based on information from the five sentences about to build
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: your experience.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: H h.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: People just want stuff like you know, they want stuff
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: easy now. You know everyone wants to be famous. But
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the picture on Instagram. You don't need to do shit.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Just be famous, go on, big brother, be famous for nothing.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: It done nothing. Yeah, that's I don't know. I think
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that's a reflection of the way things are perhaps in everything.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: People are just really more concerned with the cosmetic, the look,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and you know, taking their pictures and putting on Instagram
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: and all this kind of stuff. They're not really into.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: It's almost a spiritual side of it, you know, where
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you want to push yourself to that maximum and see
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: how far you can go, and how you know how
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: far your mind can go into the pain and all
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. It really appealed to me this
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: aspect of bodybuilding, where it was really a soul endeavor.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I was very much in a tunnel and you know,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: my house would have been on fire if I had
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to be at a gym at eleven. My house is
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: on fire. I just call a you know, a fire service,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and you go to the gym. I wouldn't. I would
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: refuse to let outside forces influence me in anyway. And
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: what you focus on this is what you bring to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: your life. You focus on bad things enough, then you
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: know bad things are going to happen. So for some reason,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of a lot of faith in myself.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: And you'll see you can count a students.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't really have any support, so I felt like
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I had to do. And you need some kind of
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: extreme hunger drive that makes you strong or make you
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: or breaking. Basically, whenever you're pushing your body to a
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: limit in any sport, I think there's always a risk
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: of injury because you're you're flirting with danger when you're
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: when you're pushing things to a limit. But you know
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that got me from being here at Backstreet Gym and Berman,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: which is you know, everyone knows it now, but back
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: in the day it was just a hole in the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: wall gym. Not many people understood bodybuilding in my town.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: So to come from this place to win mister Olympia
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: using a unique training philosophy, which I think cataported me
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: past people with better genetics, saying I can't say that,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you know, I would absolutely change it. I think if
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I trained conventional bodybuilding wise, I would have been a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: good bodybulder because I'd got good genetics. But I don't
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: think I would be mister Olympic. And you can bring
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: things into your reality.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: So there you are the structing young mans. Was it
