Retirement has had little effect on J.J. Watt's ridiculous physique.
The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and minority investor in Burnley recently treated fans to a glimpse of his rock hard abs while enjoying the high life on a luxury yacht with wife Kealia. The former Texans and Cardinals defensive end wore blue shorts and posed on the edge of the boat in a series of envy-inducing Instagram snaps. Watt captioned the photos, which included fancy dinners and stunning sunset vistas aboard the vessel: 'Training Camp 2024'.
"Physique and pictures on point," one fan remarked. "Beast," wrote another. "Please eat a donut," joked a third.
That's unlikely to happen anytime soon as the five-time Pro Bowler is famously militant about his diet and training regimen. The 35-year-old, who retired at the end of the 2022 NFL season, consumed 7,500 calories and six meals a day during his quarterback-sacking days - although that figure has come down now he's no longer playing in the league. Watt appeared on the Stick To Football podcast alongside Gary Neville , Roy Keane , Jamie Carragher , Jill Scott and Ian Wright recently where he discussed his once gargantuan calorie intake.
"When I was playing my average was probably 7,500 a day," Watt stated. "Wow!" a stunned Ian Wright exclaimed. "Right now I'm on about 4,500 calories a day," Watt went on.
"At my peak it was two breakfasts, two lunches, and two dinners. "It was like a job. "And it all had to be healthy.
It was a lot of chicke.
