Because the Arnold Classic is such a big show, a guy who hasn't been getting a lot of recognition all of a sudden does that show and arrives in good condition and is able to take out some of the top guys, it then puts him up there in the running for the Olympia title. So he can get more recognition that way.

My supplements are similar to my training - I always commit to being a better version of myself.

Where I'm from, Bastrop, Louisiana, you played football, basketball, and baseball; you ran track - and that was about it.

I was in the Pritikin Center in Santa Monica once, trying to lose 30 or 40 pounds in a month. I'd work... on a treadmill and with the weights, but it was driving me nuts. So I escaped. Tom Arnold picked me up and we went to Le Dome and had tons of desserts.

Here's a little known fact - Arnold is the first body builder to run for governor since Janet Reno.
