Michael Phelps

omfgomfgomichael phelps 12,000 calories and he is a hero

[compleks]

What?

[compleks]

1200mgs more like it!

ho ho ho!

[TKD_Andy]

thats almost over 9000!

[DeeJay]

He drinks 2000 cals in energy drinks too apparently. And at dinner time as well.

[Niko]

He also has chocolate pancakes and sandwhiches sprinkled with sugar for breakfast along with 5 eggs 2 cups of coffee and a bowl of oats.

It's as if he's an obese man stuck in an athletes body.

[ChrisT]

Yeah I heard about this too I was going to post it up.

[Lord Nirmal]

Kinda disheartening. He swims for 5 hours a day and has no dietary restraints, yet his genetics yield him better results than any man who has ever lived (in his sport/ in the olympics).

[chicanerous]

omfgomfgomichael phelps 12,000 calories and he is a hero

Now if we could only get you kids to eat a third of that and lift some weights...

[compleks]

I saw his 'sample diet'. But who knows whether it came from a legitimate source or not.

Kinda disheartening. He swims for 5 hours a day and has no dietary restraints, yet his genetics yield him better results than any man who has ever lived (in his sport/ in the olympics).
That's not disheartening. When you swim 5 hours a day you can't go around eating fruit, rice cakes and salads and expect to see any results. His diet (again, I don't know if it's real or not) wasn't all that bad anyway.

Now if we could only get you kids to eat a third of that and lift some weights...
Hahaha.

[rwm]

He also eats unicorn testicles marinated in fairy dust and injects kryptonite into his retinas.

[-Envy-]

I heard he eats the stomachs of all the swimmers that he beats, thus stealing their nutritients as well.

[rwm]

I heard his penis is actually a motorised paddle.

[tpvlyrm]

I heard he eats the stomachs of all the swimmers that he beats, thus stealing their nutritients as well.

laff

but yea, seriously, that sample diet is probably completely fictional.

How low can you go?

[Skippy]

His arms look enourmous for a swimmer, although I could imagine he does heavy weight training in parts of his training, or is he an 'enhanced' athlete?

[Lord Nirmal]

Eh, I have little doubt he's enhanced. If he's not, he's definitely a genetic masterpiece. I'm sure he works really hard and pumps iron too, but for speed sports like swimming and running and whatnot they have to build muscle but not too much so that it weighs them down. Body fats are usually 5-10%. I have no idea why I said that, nobody asked.

[compleks]

He said in an interview that he never lifts weights.

[Corvinus]

He is awsome! :D:D

[Skippy]

He said in an interview that he never lifts weights.

Hahaha, meh, maybe it's just because I don't know alot about swimming, but I find it so hard to believe his arms are the size they are from just swimming haha.

But fair enough to him, even if he did lift weights I mean he's obviously trained his balls off to be doing the shit he does.

[Torre]

In an interview in the past few days, he was asked about his diet and he said he won't tell anything about it.

[Hyourinmaru]

raw meat

[ButtHash Hero]

He said in an interview that he never lifts weights.

Actually, He just recently started lifting weights not too long ago.

[saulus]

everybody in the olympics is doped as fuck....but i don't care actually

[k-slash]

He actualyl is a fish.

It`s funny how lochte must have been thinking he was going to win cause phelps was behind for a while, then phelps just explodes a mile ahead of him at the end.

[ChukiDori]

So compleks. I noticed you talking about how you DO need to eat alot to become defined like Phelps is and build lean muscle?

I guess it requires two phases? because right now I have a fair bit of body fat..Im not fat but im still unfit by you guys's standards.

Ive always been into eating only Whole grains..Lean meats, "rice cakes and salads" as you say because Ive believed you want to eat as few calories as possible so your body can take the rest from your fat? And that the same diet would work when "training" as long as you supplemented correctly and ate what your body NEEDS after your workout.

But I guess i really dont know what My body needs. So I guess if i wanted to look like that and be atheletic..I should do it in two phases?

Eat my lean diet..And do cardio to loose weight? Then when I loose the body fat..I start eating more..and doing heavy training?? Im confused..Nutrition is now so complicated

[Skippy]

You cut, to get rid of fat (slightly below maintainence caloric intake and cardio)

Then, when you bulk, you have to eat a caloric surplus or your muscles can not grow. Because it's hard to get this surplus just right, alot of people put on excess fat in the process. They keep bulking up until a size they like, then cut their fat off again.

Then they either go on another bulk, orrr a clean bulk (clean bulks are bulks where you only eat 'clean' foods like rice, your vegetables, chicken and what not, normally bulkers eat 'dirty' foods which are like olive oil, peanut butter, taco bell :tongue:), or go on a maintainence load so you just stay the same size.


It's not complicated really, you just eat little and do cardio to lose fatty weight, eat alot and lift hard to gain muscular weight.

[Karlnold]

OMG HEZ MUSCLES ARE SO TONED! HE IS HEAVILY MUSCLES!


His bodyfat is impressible low...

I doubt however that he'd have somekind of a Ricky Bruch diet...

[Skippy]

There was a mentioning about his diet at the start of the thread;

"He also has chocolate pancakes and sandwhiches sprinkled with sugar for breakfast along with 5 eggs 2 cups of coffee and a bowl of oats."

I don't find any of his physique impressive really, just his arms, they're hyooge.

How is your deteriorating physique going now Karnold or are you back to lifting weights/eating normally?

[ChukiDori]

I find his physique very..very impressive.

[anfeyd]

Olive oil and peanut butter are not 'dirty' foods.

[ChukiDori]

I agree!!

I use peanut butter in my morning shakes because it has "clean fats" in it =D. PEanut butter, Oats, Milk, Whey and occasionaly a bananna = My breakfast!

Probably not what I want if i want to cut tho :-/

[Skippy]

Olive oil and peanut butter are not 'dirty' foods.

I would agree with this. The only reason I included them in are on bodybuilding forums I went on, people who were considered dirty bulkers on there said those were a large part of their diet.

I'm not trying to make a big fuss though.

What was I meant to watch? I got a video about the hockey???

[compleks]

Ignore that, it played the phelps video this time.

[anfeyd]

"oh my god I cant believe an elite athlete eats so much!"

[guamy]

How does he afford to feed himself???

[compleks]

Maybe the millions of dollars in sponsorship etc...

His arms arent huge, they are small, haha

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44883000/jpg/_44883493_phelps_512.jpg

How is that big?


I am training pretty much the same, not as much, I will get more serious again this fall though.

[Lord Nirmal]

How does he afford to feed himself???

The guy makes 5 million a year easy.
He's a pretty big guy, even if he didn't do any sports his maintenance level calorie intake would probably be 2200-2500 calories. He doesn't actually keep track of how much he eats, it's a guess, he just eats a lot until he's full. Some even say he doesn't actually eat that much.
Could you explain the difference between dirty and clean fats? You gave examples of them, but I want to know how I could look at something and be like, oh that's a dirty fat. I'm guessing it has something to do with the micronutrient content, like eating lots of cheese pizza greasy shit will be dirty, while eating yogurt with calcium and riboflavin and stuff is clean. Buh, I don't know...

[Kon-El]

He said in an interview that he never lifts weights.
http://outside.away.com/outside/bodywork/200801/wellness-michael-phelps.html

He lifts weights, although in an old interview I read a few years ago his coach said he was unimpressive in the gym (relative to other olympic swimmers i would assume).

Also his arms aren't that huge, but he does have a good frame overall (expected of short distance swimmers).

[Ashtar]

During my tooth cleaning my hygenist (who was totally muscular) talked to me about Phelps's 12k calorie diet.

But can Phelps do this?

Or he trains harder than you do.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

His calorie intake isn't that impressive as he most likely burns the vast majority of it swimming,which his low body fat suggests,his physique isn't that good or "big" either,it may just look it because he's so defined.

[Lord Nirmal]

Then what would be an impressive caloric intake...

[tpvlyrm]

I just heard on another forum from someone who had heard the Phelps burns 4000 calories in a single race.

also, facially, tkd_andy and phelps are identical in my eyes.

[Counterfeit Soda]

People who think his arms are huge have low standards. And why does everything he wear sit below where the pube level would be?

Ok, lets say he does eat 12,000 calories, he quite clearly needs it all for all the fucking training he does right? are you trying to say eating that much would only be impressive if he was a fat shit or looked like Dorian Yates?

I hope you do know that the more you train and eat the higher metabolism you get, some athletes can have a ridiculous metabolism, like Micheal Phelps probably burns more calories while sleeping than Rosie O'Donnel does while sprinting... No it's not a joke.

I never denied that he's on a 12 000 calorie diet, I'm pretty sure he is, what I doubted though is the fact that it all seemed like junkfood, not that I really cared to look into what his diet consisted out of. On the other hand, getting so much calories would be a bitch if you didnt get it from a huge portion of fast calorie and somewhat fat food.

His arms arent big at all, they are very average, when it comes to people who works out they are small in comparison, his whole body is defined as fuck because of the low bodyfat, but his muscles arent even moderately impressing visually, performance wise thought they are da shit...

If that Chinaman in the background would take his jacket off, do you still think his arms would look as big in comparison? They'd look muscular, sure, but prob about the same size... Who knows, maybe that old guy turns out to be a beast :O

Just look at the camera guy's arm size, and he's even further away...

Egg sandwiches with lettuce tomatoes, onions, cheese, even with mayo, aren't really junk food. Omlettes definately aren't junk food. Sure, grits, pancakes, and french toast aren't foods with lean protein, but with his activity level, they are not junk. You can't compare those stuff like fast foods, which ARE junk, because of all the unhealthy fats and processed garbage in them. Simply having a shit load of carbs doesn't qualify a food as "junk food" IMO, it all depends on what your needs are.

I see what you mean now. Maybe it is just his definition and the fact the average person these days is a 30-40lbs underweight emo kid.

I'm also gonna bare in mind you're a pretty buff guy so yano...you might think he's not so good but I'm like, not really in any kind of shape at all haha.

I am enjoying this topic of michael phelps.

As I said, I never read about his diet at all, I just made wild assumptions out of what I heard from people.

I hear he's got 2435 gold medals by now.

Michael Phelps is just one of them guys where his body is built for the sport.

Apparently he has the lower body of someone who is 5'9 / 5'10. Double jointed ankles is a fucking god send when butterfly kicking his way of the wall every turn. His arm to arm span is something like 6'5.

It's a shame that fag Ausie Thorpe quit, he could of easily upset Phelps. The guy has size 17 feet in comparison to Phelps 14. That alone wins medals.

[Lobo]

He's a queer-looking jewlike faggot.

[NightHunter]

Michael Phelps was 9th in the running for country with the most gold medals.

[Gusch]

What an arrogant dipshit.
