If you were wondering why Michael Strahan decided to retire from football, well, don’t start thinking it was because of anything physical!!
Apparently, he feels better now than he did at 25, and he has the cover of Men’s Fitness to prove it! Ha!
The thing is, he didn’t used to be so in shape when he was a kid, and his brothers even used to pick on him for it, nicknaming him ‘Bob’:
├óΓé¼┼ôThey├óΓé¼Γäód laugh at me, and I didn├óΓé¼Γäót get it. I├óΓé¼Γäóm 13 years old at the time, and then one day my brother├óΓé¼Γäós friend says, ├óΓé¼╦£You know what Bob stands for? Booty on back. You├óΓé¼Γäóre fat.’ Like my butt was so big I could reach for my wallet over my shoulder.”
That’s awful — but who’s laughing now!!!
“I started watching workout tapes and literally trying to work my ass off. My dad saw me doing it every day and said, ‘Hey, I’ll work out with you.’ We’d work out five or six days a week, and he would always say, ‘Don’t worry, it’ll pay off one day.’”
What fab support!!!!
We had no idea such a physical specimen hadn’t been like that all his life. It kinda gives us a new look at Michael!
