Aaron Donald has three kids. They keep him busy. He’s not practicing swim moves on blockers anymore—he’s practicing diaper changes.
But here’s the wild part: he’s still training like a maniac. He posts videos of himself lifting absurd amounts of weight in his home gym. Why?
Because he says he wants to be “ready.” Ready for what? A comeback? A zombie apocalypse? We don’t know. But imagine being a UPS driver who has to deliver a package to his house. You’d run.
The Extreme Diet Isn’t Over
During his playing days, he ate 4,000 calories a day just to maintain his 285-pound frame. That’s like eating a pizza, a steak, and a whole cake—daily. Now? He’s still eating like a Viking.
He’s famous for his egg-white omelets and massive protein shakes. The man hasn’t touched a cheat day in years. Boring? Maybe. But boring keeps you from looking like a regular dad at the beach.
One funny detail: he still wakes up at 5:00 AM. Even without a game to play. His alarm clock is a weapon of habit. You don’t become a legend by sleeping in.
