Mr. Phelps didnt amaze me until now

Don't get me wrong this guy is an amazing swimmer. But, I don't swim, lol so his accomplishments are not compared to anything in my head. However, I just found out that he takes in up to 12,000 calories a day

What?@!

I do my best to take in 5,500 - 6,000 a day and that is difficult...

This guy is my hero

GO PHLEPS

8 golds for him now. World Record for most Golds in a single olympics.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sun Aug 17, 2008 12:01 pm

And the most decorated Olympian of all time. Phelps is just crazy. They had an article on him in my state newspaper today that was talking about when he was a child. His teachers basically said that because he had ADHD he would never amount to anything in his life.

Fucked up eh? Way to show em Mike

Sidenote: 12k a day is friggin NUTS.

he is amazing...and he burns like 4k calories per workout.

Wenuden · Post by **Wenuden** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 4:59 am

damn, I can't imagine eating more than 3k-3500 a day.

Swordfish2Cowboy · Post by **Swordfish2Cowboy** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 10:23 am

I can't imagine eating more than 1600 in a day. Mine hovers around 1200.

rOniN · Post by **rOniN** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 4:04 pm

wow...you guys don't eat much at all.

I run through 4k on a slow day and maybe 6k when I'm feeling hungry. Though I run 5 days a week and work out a lot. The Marine Corps keeps me going...

I still don't know how he beat that guy to get his seventh. That was too close

Wenuden · Post by **Wenuden** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 6:44 pm

you can see it on NBC.com. Fingertip ftmfw.

3500 keeps me fit. It's not unhealthy calories tho, except the eggs for breakfast. I'm trying to lose weight anyways. 25# in 2 months, with another 7-10 to go. Then it's bulk up time. I'll probably jump to 6-7000/day then. Need to get to 165 by October.

heyitsstock · Post by **heyitsstock** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 11:13 pm

Wenuden · Post by **Wenuden** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 10:43 am

Yeah, I'm only 5'7". I need to put on 25# of muscle before October 25. Gonna be tough.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 10:50 am

Well good luck with that.

I hope you achieve your goal. I'd just like to tone, but have to wait until after my hip is fully healed.

Wenuden · Post by **Wenuden** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 11:59 am

I hope I hit my goals too. If I don't, I'll have to fight someone heavier than me, if my coach even let's me fight.

LOL!!! Well yeah but I meant what sport, boxing, wrestling or something of the like.

Wenuden · Post by **Wenuden** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 3:04 pm

full contact cage.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 6:58 pm

I'm not 100% certain as to what that is....but it sounds awfully friggin violent. LOL

Wenuden · Post by **Wenuden** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 7:04 pm

think pride or ufc, but with less talented people.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 7:07 pm

Thats kinda what I thought you meant. And not all of those guys are good. Is that something you aspire to do? Damn....you're crazy and damn brave for getting into that, wow. Best of luck to you.

Wenuden · Post by **Wenuden** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 7:27 pm

it's more a hobby than what I'd like to do for a living, but if I end up doing well, I'll take money LOL. I got into it because the training is retarded, I'm in better shape now than I was in high school playing 2 sports and lifting weights. After getting punched in the face a few times in training, I can't wait to fight now.

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 9:29 pm

ask dave... i could probably take in 12,000 if i really tried. but the bloated feeling you'd have for the next week wouldn't be worth it.

Wenuden · Post by **Wenuden** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 11:37 pm

eating 12000 calories isn't hard over the course of a day. Working it off, and not gaining 5# of fat a week, is.
