Nutrition 12000 Calorie Day

[JeffC]

With Worlds a few weeks away, eating is a full time job for the +450lb undisputed strongest man in the world. Maybe strongest man ever? If not now Brian Shaw will go down in history as the strongest man who ever lived.




Eating a huge meal the night before Strongman Saturday was my favourite part of Event Training.

I don't know why, but I love these "behind the scenes" videos of athletes.

I get the cold sweats just thinking about the grocery bill of pro strongmen.

I get the meat sweats watching this. Holy moly.

Of course it depends on what he eats on other days but if you take this day as a guideline you can estimate that the monthly bill for food + supplements like the protein powder must be somewhere between 1500-3000$

On an average day he consumes 6lbs of meat a day.

That IS amazing.

Also, think about how much time he spends sitting at a table and eating - like its his job! And then he has to sit down for the other part of the equation. Between the two he's doing multiple sets of box squats just hanging out.

I'd be afraid to get too close, pretty sure I'd fit in his cereal bowl...

This a a video from a few years ago.

" An average person could eat like this but they wouldn't be average for very long."

Thanks for posting that.

An enjoyable watch. I watched a similar thing with Eddie Hall. Cheesecake seems to be the lost secret to strength.

Thanks for the tip! I'll be on my way to the store to get some.

You aren't sure that caramel shortcakes would help as well?

 

[JeffC]

Cheese cake and ice cream seems to be a common supplement for elite Strongman.
