"If you take a hammer and hit something over and over again, it's gonna be destroyed. I don't wanna destroy my body cause I want my body to last me as long as it possible can. If you train hard and push it everyday, your body is going to wear out. So I give my body time to recover"

In this quote, Ronnie Coleman is highlighting the value of taking care of one's body. He uses the analogy of hitting something with a hammer consistently to highlight the harmful impacts of exhausting and not permitting the body to rest. He acknowledges that pressing oneself too hard can result in the body wearing out, and rather advocates for a balanced technique to training. By providing the body time to recover, he believes that it will have the ability to last longer and carry out at its finest. This quote highlights the value of listening to one's body and finding a balance in between pressing oneself and enabling rest and healing.
