WOW! That is some workout Michael has to endure!! I'm not surprised he has had enough now and wants to hang up his Jammers!! Good luck MP for your last Olympics and for your future. Always remembered as the greatest swimmer in the world of all time
update from 9 yrs ago: 23 gold, 3 silver , 2 bronze :) the best olympian ever....actually the greatest athlete ever in any sport in the whole wide world..
***** I personally lift every day, but I don't think it's realistic to train every day from zero days a week, it would also put a tremendous amount of strain on the body. He can start slowly for more succes in my opinion
It is, if you're not doing much physical labor to your body throughout the day. Amazing how much this sport can alter your lifestyle if you really put your heart into it.
at least 50% of a swimmer's workout is outside the pool, you can only build that much in water, it's neccessary to have a lot of dry-land excercise to build strenght, flexibility and to recover
WOW! Who ever knew that UnderArmourUnderArmourUnderArmour did so many amazing things while wrapping a thin bio of Michael Phelps around a weak, repetitive film?
In this video: its not about how sexy, fast or strong Michael is? ... this guy tells us how can we do the impossible itself. when we keep working hard on something continually with Insistence and determination it will be defiantly done….. this is Inspiring
Yeah, it is. It's what the average person would eat over four or five days. And like his coach said, this 12,000 calorie number is likely been highly exaggerated. FYI, 12,000 calories = Approx. 22 Big Macs from McDonalds
The "doctor" might be wrong about the code, BUT you are wrong about the working out more to stay in shape. It is different for everyone how much they work, also depends what type of shape. If you are talking about swimming shape, once you get in shape, you just gotta maintain it. Having ADHD has nothing to do with you having to work more to stay in shape.
Retro armchair quarterback: Smoked by Ryan Lochte in 400IM. Compression gear causes muscle atrophy, from what i remember. Fat is buoyant, and that was the whole advantage to the banned body suits. Cutting his BMI down by burning fat to replace it with muscle? He didnt need that. Less cals? Nope.
Yea I know, i'm a swimmer and probably eat around triple it. Was just saying you said average is 3000 calories i thought average for average person was closer to 2000
he ate 8000-10 000 calories in prep for 2008 it was recommended that he eats that much which he said in between training to get that amount in he just shovels in as much food as he can. Also remember that he eats pretty healthy so these 8000-10 000calories are even more impressive as it would be through foods such as pasta, rice, sandwiches, fruit, vegetables....etc as they're lower in fat than maccas big macs which pound for pound fat has the highest amount of calories.
"the better the gear, the better you swim" sooo wrong... i mean it helps, but even if you buy the best and most expensive gear you arent automatically a pro... typical advertising sentence.
+D4N1L01994 It is true. Of course gear is not the only thing that contributes to how fast you swim but it does. He didn't say gear automatically makes you pro you dumb fuck.
If he loses weight he would lose fat but he would also lose muscle (because of his extremely low body fat percentage). Therefore, he would lose weight but he would also lose power.
+SkylarPro I don't think you realize how hard it'd be. He's eating 10,000 calories+ daily just to maintain his current weight. He's swimming countless hours a day burning just as many calories. 10,000+ calories in "perfect-eating" food would be near impossible to consume. Most anything is healthy food if you're maintaining the lifestyle and know what you're doing.
he literally said in the video he's no longer eating junk food and as many calories as he used to, he'll have a burger if he feels like it, but he doesn't just shovel them down like he used to and he takes vitamin supplements
actually what you call "calorie" is a "kcal" and that means: 1 kcal = 1000 calories. And an average person´s uptake is not 3000 calories, but 3000 kcals ----> 3 mio calories.
Honestly, Initially I was surprised at all the time dedicated to the underamour brand commercial in this video.......until I read that this video was from Yahoo.
I work at a hospital and I am quite serious, it is code for my kid isn't perfect. Yes there are 3 doctors in my family, none of them think it is real and it is certainly not.
