“The body that isn't used to maybe the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth rep with a certain weight. So that makes the body grow. Going through this pain barrier. Experiencing pain in your muscles and aching, and just go on, and go on. And this last two or three or four repetitions — that's what makes the muscle grow. And that divides one from a champion and one from not being a champion. If you can go through this pain barrier, you may get to be a champion. If you can't go through, forget it. And that's what most people lack, is having the guts. The guts to go in and just say, 'I'll go through and I don't care what happens.' It aches, and if I fall down, I have no fear of fainting in a gym because I know it could happen. I threw up many times while I was working out. But it doesn't matter, because it's all worth it.”
― Arnold Schwarzenegger

― Bruce Lee
