I've been lifting weights since I was literally 15 or 16 years old. My muscles are short and powerful and built to lift heavy weights, not to be graceful and glide around a dance floor.

When you start to treat the light weights like heavy weights, the heavy weights will go up a lot easier.

Ed Coan

The truth I've discovered is that you don't have to lift enormous weights to grow muscle. By using stricter form, slower negatives, and stretching between sets you can get an incredible pump in all your workouts. Numbers are an abstraction, especially to muscles. Your body doesn't know the absolute weight of what you lift, it only recognizes how heavy it feels. The secret is to make lighter weights feel heavier.

Frank Zane

I believe you need to take enough rest to lift heavy weights, but if it takes you 5-10 minutes to rest and get psyched up for a big lift, I don't know if that's going to be good.

Phil Heath

I lift pretty heavy for my body weight, and I don't do any of that girly stuff like cardio or any light weights. I go really heavy, and that intimidates some guys. I enjoy that.

AJ Lee

I lift quite heavy weights, but unfortunately no one believes me.

Cyrus Broacha

I like to keep fit, but I never lift very heavy weights...

I like to keep fit, but I never lift very heavy weights.

Everybody used to always give me a hard time, 'You never really lift weights like that.' I would lift enough, but instead of lifting weights, I'm standing on a track field.

DeSean Jackson

A lot of guys are starting to get away from trying to jerk these heavy weights and throw all these heavy weights around.

Jake Arrieta

I always lift weights very heavy and spend a lot of time in the weight room.

Mark Teixeira

I run in the morning, lift weights in the afternoon, basketball training at night, and then lift weights again at night.

Feed and strengthen your body. Fear is physical. When you lift weights or go for a sprint, that energy flows back into your body and restores you to certainty.

Tony Robbins

I try to do something every day. I lift weights at least three to four days per week, and I'll intersperse that with cardio. For example, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'll run and do heavy lifting, and on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I'll spend two hours lifting weights, as well as something like swimming.

Misty May-Treanor

I can bulk up very fast. I can lift heavy weights because, like most people, I started off with heavy workouts. That's stayed in my muscle memory. I feel horrible when I feel my jeans are getting tight. Workouts peace me out.
