Man, this guy isn't ripped, but he is certainly like a cardio machine. Like... I don't know how to describe his body.

Like super lean tone muscle. I dunno. 12k calories a day. I don't think I could do that even with all sweets all day.

I heard he eats 9000calories, which is believable. It's not the matter of super fast metabolism, more like 5hours of heavy exercises per day.

wtf, what's up with you guys talking about metabolisms? How about the intense work out sessions they have?

even if he works out super intense (swims 5 hours a day apparently), 12,000 calories is just an insane amount to be eating on a daily basis. i lift heavy for an hour every morning and play basketball for an hour and half late afternoons, which is pretty intense, and only eat about 3,000 calories a day bc im cuttingOriginally Posted by $luuug

think about how much he has to swim just to warm up....then he has a workout, and then he has the cool off swim, he burns insane amounts, to the kid who says he lifts and plays basketball, you can't fathom how intense swimming practices on that level would be...

You can't possibly be that stupid.Originally Posted by Money Shot
You're comparing your 2hrs and some change "intense" work outs to their 5-6 consecutive hr practice days? Almost 7 days a week?

either that or he drinks a different energy drink than you, and his isn't the exact same amount of calories? wtf...Originally Posted by Money Shot
I'm sure there's energy drinks out there that are 300 or 400 calories, possibly even more. Hell, he might even make his own. Throw peanut butter in there and ****.

swimming 5-7 hours is way more intense and he is competing at an olympic level, you cannot compare your pissy 2 hour training compared to an olympic level athlete. he trains 10x harder than you do. lets not forget you're a tiny 5'9 where he is what, 6'4?Originally Posted by Money Shot

ok im not trying to say i work harder than him or anything, but the point i was trying to make was that no matter how hard you work out, 12,000 calories a day are way too much. he is a very lucky guy that he manages not to put on an ounce of fatOriginally Posted by duece49

The article does also suggest that this is his routine during the olympics:
"Phelps, 23, will swim 17 times over nine days of competition at the Beijing Games - meaning that he will need all the calories he can shovel in his mouth in order to keep his energy levels high."
I thought it was talking about 12k calories during the games, but maybe it's a little less when he's training at home.---Deep voice crew---
LOVELIEST of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow. (no homo)
