    Adrien Broner undefeated WBA welter weight and three other division world champion enjoys " a lot of ice cream" in preparation for his upcoming fight at 145lbs. Just thought I'd share this with the anti sugar if it tastes good spit it out brigade.

    Ha!

    I never ever believe any of this garbage, it's like Bolt when he said he had McDonalds before his 100m sprint in 2008.

    Athletes like to make people think that the things they do are effortless, when in actual fact they have doctors and a team of people looking after them.

    Do you actually think a professional boxer eats ice cream as part of his diet for fights? You need to think again!

    Do yourself a favour and take a few minutes of your time to listen to a man who is considered to be one of if not the best bodybuilding coaches in the world. You or anyone else in this forum have no place arguing with what he says .

    Ha, now it's all starting to make sense you're using the great source of nutrition truth 'bodybuilding youtube channels'

    have check what some real athletes are doing with their nutrition

    Novak Djokovic, Dave Zabriskie, Timothy Olson, Simon Whitfield,

    If you think the boxer eats ice cream when he's training for a fight, then you're a mug. Good luck with that.

    After a hard training session some fast carbs in the form of an ice cream . Perfect.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,906 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    You go do that so if you believe it.

    Guy probably has multiple training sessions per day eating an absurd amount of calories do you think he gets it all from green veggies or chicken and rice . Id love to see you eat 800 carbs worth of veg.

    You obviously think marathon runners who take energy gels ( pure maltodextrin insome cases) during a race are mugs aswell then ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,906 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    Like I said, you go do it if you want. I'm interested to know how many boxers you know outside of youtube. Genuine question.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,390 ✭✭✭Stench Blossoms


    I have an 'in' with a certain olympic medalist irish boxer and I guarantee you they very rarely eat ice cream or believe in IIFYM.

    Steroids, a marvel of the macro world!

    I do myself lots of favours in not listening to what these guys say, and eat clean! I am more concerned with my health over my macros BRAH!

    Probably wasn't eating Wibbly Wobblies.

    It is common for athlete's to eat protein/carbo ice creams in moderation.

    Who the f*ck would eat those? Awful things. There's an argument to be made for the Feast but Wibbly Wobblys?

    If I was to pick it would be an Ice-Berger, delish!

    Cant say yes or no to that question because I dont know just saw it on a documentary a couple months after I ran into him in the Dubliner pub in Tenerife having a few with his missus. Did see john joe nevin down the pub the other day tho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,906 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    Hatton used to be down his local playing darts and eating chips/pies with peas and gravy. But that was when he wasn't training for a fight. But I don't think it was particularly brilliant to be yoyoing so much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,750 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    Yes he was also fond of doing cocaine as well, wasn't he? I suppose if it fits his macros...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 514 ✭✭✭strongback


    Adrian Broner is the biggest tool in boxing. He's the sports No.1 figure of hate. He's pulling the eating ice cream stunt to show off he can make weight easy.

    Broner moved up from lightweight to Welterweight. This is the reason he is making the welter limit with little hassle. He definitely doesn't eat ice cream as part of his fight prep.

    such a shame really that he didn't realize his true potential due to his lifestyle

    I quite liked him but I don't think he was anywhere near beating Mayweather or Manny, regardless of his diet between fights.

    True but you always sure of an entertaining scrap with Hatton

    I guess we were exposed to him a bit more because of Sky etc. But he won a few fights with some tasty body shots. There's a beauty in a knockout with a body shot.

    Yeah it could mix it with his go forward pressing style and I think a body shot was the last punch he took in his career.

    ex amateur boxer here, i confirm the OP's general thoughts... as an athlete you have a certain leeway in eating things that people who don't work out cant afford to eat. a friend who was a much better athlete - top10 800m runner in the US - she used to eat a huge bowl of melted chocolate with marshmallows every day for lunch. After steaks and pasta. She was all muscle and really thin (and fast, obviously). Whatever she ate, she burned it running.

    I'm actually surprised this is news to some of you - not trying to be sarcastic. I genuinely thought it was common knowledge. It seems self-evident (if you burn 6k calories a day, why would 1k calories of ice cream ruin your diet?). It's also been in the news a million times, with different athletes talking about it and articles written about the very fact... off the top of my head:
