Joey Chestnut's Hardcore Workout Routine Proves Once And For All That He's A Real Athlete
This right here is why Peter King can go kick all the rocks in the world for not thinking that Joey Chestnut is a true athlete. Check out the definition of what it means to be an athlete.
Not sure if you bozos saw that video or not but I think it’s safe to say that Joey Chestnut is pretty heckin’ proficient in other forms of physical exercise. They don’t call the man “Joey Jaws” for nothing. I can guarantee you right now that if there were a Strongman competition for jaw strength alone, Joey Chestnut is winning that shit year after year.
And this is what being a professional athlete is all about. It’s about honing your craft. It’s about a ridiculous work ethic and training regiment to make sure that your body is operating at peak performance. Nobody wakes up one day and just becomes the greatest in the world at something. You have to work your ass off day in and day out. Success isn’t owned. It is leased, and rent is due every day. And for Joey Chestnut, paying rent means burping for a few hours every day and chewing a ball. Just as any other elite athlete spends hours in the gym getting themselves ready for battle.
So unless any of you are putting in longer hours of physical work, you can pipe down about Joey Chestnut not being a real athlete.
