In an interview with Golf.com, Gary Player, 80, yet fitter than a fiddle after a 24-hour Bluegrass jam session and still the biggest gym rat in the game, calls this latest theory nonsense and hogwash.
The Black Knight debunks the overtraining theory by using his fountain of youth sipping, still shooting 70 baddass self as an example as to why the gym is always a golfer's BFF:
"Two days ago I pressed 310lbs with my legs, he begins before adding in the qualifier that this poundage was below the usual because he'd laid off for a few days. "Now if I went to the gym today I'd press 400 lbs. I do 1300 crunches and the last two I do with a 100lb weight on my chest.” He then drops his age again and reminds the interviewer that he could beat most 30-year-olds in a fitness contest. You just know Back 9 Network and Golf Channel execs were scratching their chins thinking, now that’s a show idea: Can you do more push-ups than Gary Player?
