The way I trained for Rocky III was a bit of an overkill. I would run three miles in the morning, then go straight into 15 rounds of sparring, followed by two hours in the weight room, pushing tons of iron. Then I'd usually do 500 sit-ups before jumping rope for 10 rounds (30 minutes). I'd eat, nap, and start again. In the afternoons, I'd take another run, do some more heavy lifting, and then finish up with a long swim. It was difficult to turn off the desire to train. I'd think about it obsessively. Sometimes, I would even leave a movie or dinner party at night and drive home to work out no matter what the time—one or two in the morning, it didn't matter. This is how not to train, because when it becomes an Obsession, it does much more harm than good. So I include this story only as a cautionary tale.
I was just as gung ho about my diet then, too. Most days, I'd eat little more than tuna straight out of the can for protein, a slice of burnt toast, water, and gallons of coffee. My friend John Travolta had graciously given me an espresso machine and I'd sometimes have more than 30 tiny cups of coffee a day to help speed my metabolism. It was only later that I realized I needed all that caffeine because I wasn't getting enough energy from food.
All that effort certainly appeared to be working. I went from having 14 percent body fat to around 2.8 percent. (In those days, Mr. Olympia would have measured in around 4 percent; the average guy around 18-20 percent.) And at a gaunt 161 pounds, I was leaner than ever but certainly not healthier. The International Federation of Bodybuilders named me "Body of the 80's", an amazing honor for a nonprofessional.
