The man who survived on 25 coffee cups and two oatmeal cookies for ‘Rocky III’ had admitted his crazy diet routines. He said in an old clip, “I overdo it during the weekends. During the week it’s almost all protein and by Friday night I am ravenous. And then I’ll bulk up by Monday when I’m back on the regime. I’ll be down on 1,100 cal and then on the weekend I could be up to like 9000 cal.” This huge change in food intake and calorie consumption did not affect his body because he was disciplined with his workout, and maintained his godly structure. He also frequently trained with other bodybuilding legends for his movies apart from having a bizarre diet.
