(ORIGINAL VIDEO HAS BEEN REMOVED SO HERE’S A VIDEO OF SHAQ AT AGE 50)
Today’s morning motivation workout mix comes from the MDE as he, according to Muscle Madness, trains for the WWE.
As a result of these workouts, the 45-year-old Icy Hot endorser with some of the scariest-looking feet in the world said he had lost 20 pounds during his 30-day Roc Fit Transformation Challenge. More shocking than the weight loss was Shaq admitting he was 400 pounds (!) with 15% body fat a month ago. That’s more surprising than, as Barkley would say, “his fat ass” being able to fit into a Buick Lacrosse (I own a Buick Lacrosse, and I feel cramped even though I’m 6’0″ 190).
More shocking than a retired Shaq being 400 pounds is that he said he got up to 395 during the last championship, during the Lakers’ 3-Peat in 2002.
All of this is crazy to me because I remember watching a young, lean Shaq who loved going coast-to-coast in Orlando, where he reportedly had just 10% body fat and a 36-inch vert as a 301-pound rookie.
