You are what you eat. This is precisely what drives most NFL players who demand high-performance levels both on and off the court. Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski- AKA “Gronk” is no stranger to appropriating his body to elite standards of fitness. In a recent Instagram video, he offered a sneak peek into his post-workout meal box, custom-curated by The System8. 

Biomechanist Adam Boily, the man behind The System8, an elite athletic training brand based in Florida, reveals his experience formulating tailored training programs for some of the top athletes in the NFL, Gonk included. 

Gronk’s “fuel to keep going”

Regarded as one of the most extraordinary tight ends of all time, the four-time Super Bowl champion retired from professional football in March 2019 at the age of 29. He was reported to be “not in a good place” mentally and continuing to play football adversely affected his situation. 

Following his retirement, in a conversation with CNBC Make It, Gonk declares, “I feel like I’ve definitely transformed ever since I stopped playing football. I feel like I transformed in a better way,”
