If you ever doubted that superhuman beings walk among us, consider the case of retired NFL star and incredible physical specimen, Herschel Walker, who's nearing 50. While we mortal fitness-minded men worry about things like training cycles, protein intake, nutrient timing, overtraining, and ergogenic aids, the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner skips breakfast and lunch and eats salad and bread for dinner. He's a vegetarian who doesn't worry about consuming enough protein. (Sometimes, Herschel loses his appetite and goes 3 or 4 days without eating anything.) Every morning, he performs 750-1,500 pushups and 2,000 sit-ups. If that wasn't amazing enough, Walker maintains this lifestyle while preparing for his second MMA match. Yup, that's right, Herschel has added "ultimate fighter" to his list of athletic accomplishments. (He won his first match against a much younger opponent, Greg Nagy.) While I don't recommend following Walker's unique approach to nutrition and exercise, I wholeheartedly agree with his never-say-die attitude toward growing older.
