Huge is as huge does.
And, of course:
Life is like a set of freeweight barbell squats. You never know when you're going to throw up.
Gravity
Sometimes when I work out, I don't think of it as an exercise session so much as a continuation of my war with gravity. Oh, it'll win, but I'm going to die fighting back.
Arnold's Words of Wisdom
This last two or three or four repetitions, that’s what makes the muscles grow. That’s what divides one from a champion and one from not being a champion. If you can go through the pain period, you make it to be a champion. If you can’t go through it, forget it. And that’s what most people lack: having the guts – the guts to go in and just say… “I don’t care what happens.” I have no fear of fainting in the gym… I threw up many times when I was working out. But it doesn’t matter, because it’s all worth it.

You Know You're In Trouble When...
I always used to tell my lifting partner the following right before I bench pressed:
"Remember, when I tap my thigh with my hand, it means to help me get the bar off of my neck."
"Remember, when I tap my thigh with my hand, it means to help me get the bar off of my neck."
Leg Day
I found this quote online at Jeremy's Status Message:
The first rule of leg day is that you do not talk about leg day. The second rule of leg day: you DO NOT talk about leg day. The third rule of leg day: when someone says stop, goes limp or screams "HELP!", the set is over. The fourth rule of leg day: only two guys to a squat rack. The fifth rule of leg day: one set at a time. The sixth rule of leg day: no belt, no wraps. The seventh rule of leg day: sets go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule of leg day: if this is your first leg day, you have to squat.
I like the thought of going limp during a set.
