Ok i swim for Lubbock TX during the summer and Coronado High school during the school year. my coaches told me i should be eating about 5000 to 6500 calories a day. And i thought that that was a lot but 12000 thats just way tooo much for me. I have a similar diet compared to him just not as much as him.

Phelps broke the World 100m butterfly record yesterday, and became the first man swim it in less than 50 seconds. His countryman Cavic also broke the barrier with a time of 49.95s.

“I had to be out in that first 50m within striking distance and I went out in 23.3sec, that’s the fastest I’ve been out in, I haven’t been within half a second of that. It’s really gratifying.” Phelps, Rome, 1sy Aug 2009.

That’s right. And Usain Bolt trains for just 3 hours a day. But those 3 hours are intensive. Professional athletes and martial artists alike have to train hard – it is their job to do so!

Most swimmers swim 6 hours a day starting in high school. It’s not a big deal. I don’t think people realize that. Most of his success is due to his natural ability…not because he works harder than the rest of the swimmers in the world. The hardest working swimmer ever was Tom Wilkens, and the best he did was a bronze in the Olympics, but he had little to none natural talent

He is amazing, how can he be this dedicated to the sport, to give 6 hours training each day. That’s unreal. He is unbelievable

Michael updated his Facebook page today with news of his training:

“Hey everyone…i’m back in Baltimore after two weeks out on the west coast for a training camp w/ the national team. Gotta get ready for Nationals and Worlds this summer. It’s been a painful process getting back into training shape, but it feels good to be back in the water. Our camp was hard at the Olympic training complex in Chula Vista. It was nice to be back outside swimming in the sun and adding some color. But it was definitely no day at the beach. We actually spent one of the days training w/ the Navy SEALs…yes, THOSE Navy SEALs!!! I’d like to say that I did pretty good (all things considered of course) but clearly nothing close to the level of the SEALs. I must admit, it was one of the coolest experiences in my life. Not just going through some of the training that they do, but also to have the chance to sit and talk w/ them. After all, they (and all the men and women of the military) are fighting for our freedom and to me, they are the ultimate gold medalists!!! ”

Go Micky boy, I am sure you showed them SEALs how to swim!

michael phelps is my swimming idol no matter what he does. he is undefeatable and undestructable. also he should not be banned from the olympics

Well I think you forget that thorpe kept smashin his own records. So he could probably still pack a huge punch if he decided to do it again.

Mr Australia-
it would be a good match between phelps & thorpe, but the only event that they swim that are the same is the 200 m, and phelps had smashed thorpe’s record by nearly 2 seconds. that’s huge.
he also should not be banned from the olympics or anything:
1-he has worked hard for all that he has & since he’s so good at what he does, you think he should be banned? hmm.
2-i will still support him even though he smoked weed–a reason why people don’t support him. true fans will over-see a mistake.

I think he would be the perfect match for Ian Thorpe. Infact I think Ian may even win against this god.

I agree, him and Usain Bolt, who managed to smash the 100m record without even trying!

I think he should be banned from further contests… he’s some sort of titan or something, he cant be human!

I can imagine eating 12,000 calories a day, but I cannot quite see me being that slim afterwards!

It’s simply amazing watching him and what he has accomplished. I can’t even imagine consuming 12,000 calories a day.
