If you wanted to know all about Shannon Sharpe’s workout and diet, especially to look the way he does at 55 years old, then you’ve come to the right place. In this video, I am going to break down what Shannon Sharpe’s workouts and nutrition looks like to maintain his incredible physique. Just like I’ve done for every celebrity workout critique that I have done in the past, I am going to remain respectful and provide an unbiased review of Shannon Sharpe’s workouts. Not only that, but I am going to explain how important it is to implement some of his principles into your training and nutrition so that you can see success as well.

To preface this video, I don’t have access to Shannon’s entire workout program and diet, but we do have a some insights based on interviews he’s done and information he has shared on his podcast and his instagram page. Thus, I don’t have complete context into every single thing he does today, but I can review the information that is available to me.

To start, it would come as no surprise that people have accused Shannon Sharpe of taking PEDs in order to achieve the body that he has at his age. However, he claims a natural status going back to his playing days and based on the information in the rest of the video, I can also assume that he is not taking anything. He states that he’s always been subjected to people thinking he was taking PEDs as even when he was playing in the NFL.

Without the use of performance enhancing drugs, Shannon Sharpe's body is the result of the hard he puts in during his workouts and his dedicated approach to his diet as well.

Beginning with his workouts, Shannon Sharpe states that he does not focus on lifting as heavy as possible anymore and instead has moved much of his focus to circuit training to supplement his traditional weight training. As a matter of fact, he splits his days into two workouts with the morning session being a traditional strength and bodybuilding workout while his cross-training is reserved for the evening.

With these cross-training circuits, he calls likens them to CrossFit. While I am not the biggest fan of CrossFit programming, I can understand that he Shannon Sharpe's workouts are calling for him to continuously move his body to improve his conditioning and supplement the caloric burn necessary to maintain his level of leanness. While these workouts are not hypertrophy based, that doesn't mean he doesn't put time and effort into building muscle as well.

Sharpe's traditional workouts consist of exercises that are hypertrophy based with the goal of building muscle. While I have no real complaints about the way he performs his exercises, I can point out a few things worth noting. First, I notice that he focuses on holding the contracted position of every exercise; while some might argue that this goes against recent research stating that the most important part of the range of motion is the stretch, that doesn't mean the contraction is worth throwing out. I would, however, recommend that he focus a little bit more on the eccentric portion of the lifts. He seems to rush through this part of the lift and I think that Shannon Sharpe's physique, while impressive, could benefit from a little more focus in this area.

One thing worth noting for Shannon Sharpe's injury history that influences some of his workouts, is his recent dual hip replacement.

Shannon Sharpe's diet and approach to nutrition is not very dissimilar from my own. He mentions that he eats roughly the same things with slight variations on a daily basis. This is key to staying consistent with his nutrition as he knows what foods to eat day-in and day-out in order to maintain his body fat levels. Shannon Sharpe's body fat is low because of this consistent approach and lack of deviation from what works.

When it comes to how lean Shannon Sharpe is, this comes down to not just what he eats, but how much he eats. He has remained so dialed-in with his diet that he knows exactly how much to eat every single day - this means that he is not in fear of overeating. Not only that, but he is of the mindset, that I agree with, that his eating habits are not part of a diet (as that is temporary) but instead part of a lifestyle.

Overall, I like Shannon Sharpe's training and nutrition. It checks many of the boxes helping him to achieve the body that caused you to look him up in the first place.
