If you’re starting out in this sport, lemme give you some advice, and it won't cost you a dime... You’ll need thick skin. Thick skin to ward off the ignorance, the criticism, the doubts, the fear, the fucking clueless questions about why we got into the game and what it takes to stay in... "C'mon, what's wrong with a slice of cake. One slice ain't gonna kill ya." No shit Sherlock. Man, I can go on and on. After a while--sometimes weeks, months or maybe even years--your skin begins to thicken in proportion to your dedication. Your skin, your commitment to bodybuilding, becomes something like a layer of armor. At my level, at this stage of the game, I don't give two shits what others think of my dreams. Yeah, you could say my skin is made of titanium. On my journey I don't have room for belly achers or naysayers or hangers on. As I get closer and closer to the show, as things wind down, I just gotta dial it in, get shredded. Damn. How's that for irony? In this sport, thick is the skin you'll need if you ever want it to be thin...
