Addicted to working out guy

Is is me, or did it seem that he was working out for an extremely short time. In the beginning of the episode, he mentioned something like going and working out for 3 minutes. Whould he feel better if he just went to the gym and worked out for 2 hours every morning?

Also, what's with all the pills. I understand that they are there to help his health, but it seemed like he didn't know what half of the pills did. I wonder if he was putting up a false sence of how bad it was. For someone who could recite his entire workout for the past week or two, why cant he remember what the pills did?

i would think that many little bursts of exercise are probably not as good as a couple of longer sets. however, there have been studies recently that say three 10 minute sets of cardio is as good as one 30 minute set.

did his form in the gym seem pretty bad though? he was so herky jerky that he looked like he wasn't using the machines properly.

you make a good point about not remembering what pills he was taking since he was so involved in recording things, but i think he recorded numbers, so maybe it didn't bother him with the pills.

someone here posted a youtube link about this guy... i just haven't had a chance to watch it. i think they said it sort of makes his appearance on the show seem fraudulent.

He did look herky jerky, but some of the better exercises include bursts of energy at low weights. Plyometrics I think, may be wrong though. He was in great shape though.

As for the video, it is possible that he has gone through more intensive therapy since the filming ended and he has curtailed his working out. He may have is OCD a little more under control.

As for the clockwise only thing, did that affect his driving. I have heard of a lady in Britain that could only turn right or something. Turning left would make you go counterclockwise. He never mentioned that.

I don't know if that affected his driving, but I've heard about that lady in England. She only turned left.

IMDB is not a fan site. It is for fans and haters alike.

I know - he was all like, " I work out 5 to 8 times a day" but his workouts are like 10 minute exercise routines. If you add it all together he doesn’t work out that much. And he looked awful for 49. And if he is so afraid of getting old how come he doesn’t take care of all that grey hair on his head/beard?
