Even though the weight I'm lifting isn't what it was when I was playing, it's not like I'm not lifting weights that are heavier than the common person would lift. I think a lot of people look at that and say, 'Whoa!'
I enjoy lifting weights more than I enjoy getting on the treadmill to run.
I'm taking care of my body, getting my treatment, I'm in the weight room... I'm doing everything I can to stay healthy, and hopefully the genetics kind of take over from there.
I think offensive linemen generally took the weight room and the workouts much more seriously, because we saw that it was a vital part of our training. We needed to be big and strong, and our muscles needed to be in good shape to handle the beatings.
I spend around two and half hours on the track every day running and another 2 hours in the weight room lifting weights with my strength coach.
Me, guarding the best post players in the league, it definitely takes a toll on your body. But that's why I get massages regularly, cold tub, foot baths, rest and the weight room.
Whether it's in the weight room or extra stretching, you never know when you're going to need that little extra oomph.
If you go out once a week, they can blast on you that you're always out all the time, but I always put work first, and people sometimes don't see the side of going into the weight room, behind-the-scenes-type stuff with football.
I can squat 405. I'm proud of that - that's one of my favorites.
By the time the season's over, I'm ready to get back in the weight room and start training as far as getting stronger.
The Raiders of old were vicious and crazy and cruel. Hanging around their locker room was like hanging around the weight room at Folsom Prison.
I spend around three hours on the track and two hours in the weight room, five or six days a week.
We'd always said boxers shouldn't lift weights. Now I realize some champion boxer started that rumor. I noticed if I did weights a couple of times a week, I would be able to hit that jab a lot longer. After sparring, everybody's gone, and I sneak into the weight room. Spend 40 minutes in there lifting weights.
My dad had me start lifting weights at 12, and for me it was fun.
There is nothing better than to make it to the College World Series. All of the extra reps in the weight room, all of the early morning practices, and all the hard work spent the entire year makes it worth it.

By the time I was 15 and I stepped in the high school gym, I was just stronger than everybody.

Mostly, I go in the weight room and visit.
I used to spend a couple of hours in the weight room, but really, an hour is long enough. I lift twice a week and on other days incorporate more core yoga and different exercises. It's important to listen to your body. I will shut it down if I'm tired.
Some people take certain things and they try to forget what that pain felt like. I don't. I take that same pain and I chase it every time I walk in a weight room.
I lift quite heavy weights, but unfortunately no one believes me.
It wasn't until 'Thor' that I started lifting weights. It was all pretty new to me.
My name is an acronym for EA - EA All Day. It's a persona that I developed over the years in sports as a caricature of myself. On the field, in practice, in the weight room, I was just a character and a personality.
