“When people ask, are you gonna do it again, do you have enough fire in your belly, are you motivated? Are you afraid? Are you scared? of these other people. I’m not scared of a damn thing.
Try watching your wife go through the things that she had to go through, try watching your parents go through the things that they’ve gone through, and still be able to have a smile on their face. How the hell am I not gonna be able to do that cardio at midnight, how the hell am I gonna be on low carbs and still be able to function normally? How? Through my faith in God, through the many emails and letters, through the many friends and family and sponsors that I have, throughout all the support that I have been given, I’ve already won. And Im gonna prove that on Saturday night.” ~ Phil Heath
“I visualized it a lot.” ~ Phil Heath
“Kai that was cool, but that wasn’t cool, i’ll just go ahead and say it. But it doesn’t matter, cause ill be signing 3 time on sunday.” ~ Phil Heath
