Drew Brees Training Like The World's Strongest Man Contest

SB Nation's Joel Thorman of Arrowhead Pride is on the ground in South Florida, providing reports, commentary and impressions from Super Bowl week.

I had a chance to catch up with Drew Brees’ trainer, Todd Durkin, who is tremendously more fit than I am. He was there promoting his partnership with Under Armour, and even showed me these core shorts which A) looked almost like underwear and B) are supposed to be a big help when you work out.

(Note: Not that I would know since I don’t, you know, work out)

The most interesting part of our conversation was when he was telling me about some of the things Brees does to train. While his facility has some innovative workout accessories, sometimes you just need to get down and dirty.

He’s a beast in the weight room, man. Drew has legendary work ethic. We’re flipping tires, pushing sleds just like the big boys.

Wow. Like the World’s Strongest Man contests.

Now I feel bad for asking him if quarterbacks were wimps.
