It's possible. His lifestyle is possibly AFTER all those Olympic gold medals. He only recently entered the first competition since the Olympics about a week ago. Training for the Olympics is a 3+ year event so it makes sense that he takes time off for rigorous training for a bit.

I used to swim twice a day (2 - 3 hours each). Wake up at 3am, mom drive to pool, swim practice, get ready for school, go to school, after school go to 2nd swim practice in afternoon 3pm or sometimes it is at 7pm. Then come home. Usually eat meals in car and do homework in car, go to sleep really early. A few times a week we will have strength sessions before swim training or even a jog around the park. Also to 'diversify' or tweak different muscles we would also play other sports like tennis, squash/racquetball or whatever else. Also individual gym sessions on your own when you have the time.

It is a full-time job. But not possible in Malaysia with our education system and lack of support by the government, schools etc. It's all from the effort of the parents (mostly) - and the swimmer (a little or just in the pool heh)

So Mr Michael Phelps? With the outstanding sports system there in the US + being a "full-time" swimmer? Easy peasy to dedicate himself to working out all day and eating 10,000 calories per day.

Which brand of powder milk can you recommend bro?
