Michael’s Phelps’ Diet
Phelps does not have a strict menu to follow. He actually eats what he wants to eat, whenever he wants it. For the normal day, here is what he usually eats:
Breakfast: 3 fried egg sandwiches; cheese; tomatoes; lettuce; fried onions; mayonnaise; three chocolate-chip pancakes; 5-egg omelette; 3 sugar-coated slices of French toast; bowl of grits; 2 cups of coffee Lunch: Half-kilogram (1 pound) of enriched pasta; 2 large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise on white bread; energy drinks Dinner: Half-kilogram of pasta, with carbonara sauce; large pizza; energy drinks
He eats white bread instead of whole wheat bread.
He eats only 3 big meals instead of spreading them to more meals with smaller portion.
He eats not so much fruits and vegetables. Instead, he eats damn lot of carbohydrates – pasta and bread.
Michael Phelps’ Workouts and Training Routines
Phelps trains for six hours a day, six days a week, without fail.
“He swims approximately 50 miles (80km) each week, which is over 8 miles per training day. He has two massages everyday and also takes icebaths to help his body to recover.”
“In order to slice through water with those deadly powerful strokes, one must be strong in multiple planes of motion. True enough, according to what his coach has disclosed, Michael Phelps does diagonal wood choppe and straight wood chopper.
Phelps does other typical strength trainings, 3 times a week with 1 hour each session, but those trainings focus in building his muscle endurance and flexibility in addition to improving his stroke power. With such a powerful and long stroke, when others have to take 12 strokes, he probably cover the same distance with only 8 strokes.
As for cardiovascular exercise, Micheal Phelps relies on stationary bike because running is too much hazard for his knees. Believe it or not, Phelps often tripped and fell often when he run. Rumor said his flexibility in his knees and ankles, though enhanced his performance in pool, results in some loss of stability on land.”
Here are guidelines how you can do diagonal woodchopper:
1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Hold a medicine ball with both hands.
2. Lift the medicine ball over your right shoulder.
3. Then, chop down across your body by moving the medicine ball towards the ground outside of your left foot.
4. Return to the starting position.
5. Do 3 sets with 10 repetitions for each side.
How you can do straight woodchoper
1. Lie on your back on the floor. Bend your knees, but your feet remains flat on the floor.
2. Hold the medicine ball directly above your head.
3. Contract your abdominal muscles and lower the ball behind your head as far as you can without lifting your back or bending your arms. The motion is like chopping the air, but in one single straight plane.
4. Do 3 sets of 10 repetitions.

Even though Lutz says he wears it just for fun, he enjoys seeing how many calories he’s worked off by simply walking around on set or at home.
“It’s a motivator, and I encourage everyone to have something in their life to look at so you know that you are doing something,” Lutz says in the video interview.

Each week he’s completed 5-10 intense training sessions. Cardiovascular work lasts between 45min and 3hr and involves running, cycling and swimming, supplemented by hiking, snowshoeing and skiing. Gym workouts focus on improving neck and abdominal muscles.
“A typical training day might consist of getting up early, going for a run and then coming back for a good breakfast – I have to be careful of what I eat, so this is very important,” says Hamilton.
“Then I’ll go to the gym, though we might do a sport or go swimming. I have lunch, then we may go for a long bike ride and then I come back and go to the gym for another hour or two.”

By Jeff Bayer – Fitness Specialist At what age did you really start focusing on your workouts and trying to build your body?
I’ve played sports all my life. When I played football in high school, I had to stay active and in shape. I am athletically built, but I started focusing on toning and weight-lifting at around 24 or 25.
Do you spend a specific portion of the time trying to build muscle and a specific portion dedicated to getting lean? Or do your workouts stay fairly consistent year-round? I’ve always been lean. Putting on weight has always been my problem! My workouts are fairly consistent, schedule permitting. When I’m touring (like now), I might work out 2-3 times a week. When I am less busy, I work out about 5 days a week (Monday through Friday).
Getting more into the specifics of your workout plan, how many days a week are you in the gym? And during your off days, are you doing any form of exercise?
I am in the gym about 5 days a week. Again this depends on my schedule. Right now I am promoting my new album, Brass Knuckles, and I’m not able to get into the gym as often as I would like, which is about 2-3 times a week. Regardless, I’ll still do 1,000-1,500 sit-ups and push-ups a day; they’re easy and I don’t need a gym to do them. I also play basketball in my free time — it’s great cardio.
What is your current weight-lifting program like? What exercises are you performing and how many sets of each do you do? I like machines for a varied workout. For upper body, I like the military press. During crunches, I hold a 25-45 pound weight plate across my chest for added resistance. I also do calf raises and squats for my lower-body workout.
Specifically, this is what my workout looks like: Monday: triceps; Tuesday: back and shoulders; Wednesday: biceps/legs, Thursday: chest using a bench press machine; Friday: start over with triceps. The key is to keep moving around the exercises so I don’t get bored or used to one thing.
Nelly - Brass Knuckles
What rep range do you feel gives you the best results? I tend to do fewer reps at a higher resistance because I am working on building not getting lean. Six to eight reps works for me.
If you feel as though you’re hitting a plateau with your progress, what changes do you normally make with your workout to start getting results again? [Laughs] I’ve been lucky — I never hit a plateau! My trainer put me on a good regime and I get good results. But like I said earlier, it’s important to switch around exercises so your body doesn’t get bored or used to one thing.
Moving on to the diet side of things, can you describe your current diet approach? Would you say it’s lower carb, higher protein, or a more balanced approach? [Laughs] People always get mad at me, but I don’t diet! I eat whatever I want and have always been very lucky. My friends see what I eat and tell me one day I’ll pay for it, but so far I’ve been really lucky.
On an average day, what’s on your menu?
Breakfast is typically pancakes, turkey bacon, oatmeal, and eggs with cheese. For lunch I’ll have two turkey burgers and fries, and for dinner, it depends on where we are or what restaurant we go to.
I love snacking though — specifically Oreos and chocolate cake. I love chocolate cake!
How many meals a day do you usually eat?
On average, 3-4 meals a day. I keep snacking all day. If I’m trying to get bigger/gain weight, I will literally eat all day and keep snacking all day.
If you could pinpoint one change you’ve made with your workouts and diet program since you started that has given you the best results, what would it be?
I think the one tip I have is to do 1,000-1,500 sit-ups and push-ups a day. You can do them wherever without gym equipment. Start off slow; maybe do 100-200 at a time. Sometimes I’ll wake up, do 100 sit-ups, eat breakfast, and then do 100 more. Start off slow and work your way up. That’s my best advice.
