My main goal is to become the most successful weightlifter in history.

By the time I was 15 and I stepped in the high school gym, I was just stronger than everybody.

I took my weight training to a new level.

I was a personal trainer for about a decade. I competed in powerlifting, and I did a bodybuilding competition. I was heavily entrenched in the personal training world.

I used to lift very heavy weights in my mid-twenties - I used to bench press over 300lb. The most I ever lifted was 330lb; I couldn't do that today, no way.

In high school and college, I was an athlete.

I'm not a facelift person. I am what I am.

We're Norwegians. You know, the Vikings. My deadlift was 310 pounds. I mean, I was very, very strong - and I didn't take steroids. I did it all on my own.
