“I asked my mom for a deck of cards. She said, ‘Boy, you know I don't allow no gambling.’ I was like, ‘Ma, it ain't about that.’ I would go into my room—I lived in the garage at the time—and flip the deck up. If the card was a six, I'd do six push-ups. Then if the next card was a face card, I'd do 10. An ace, 25. Joker, 50. I'd go through the whole deck like that. Then I'd reshuffle and do the same thing with sit-ups. That was my workout. I use the same cards to this day, but now I'm up to three decks.”
