COLUMBIA, S.C., April 20 (UPI) -- The Ol' Ball Coach stood shirtless, sweat soaked and smiling, flanked by State Newspaper reporter Josh Kendall, last week after a grueling workout.
Steve Spurrier isn't your average 70-year-old.
According to Kendall, Spurrier works out six days a week during the season and claims to have worked out five days a week for 25 years.
Wearing his bandana and signature sweater vest, Spurrier goes rep for rep with Kendall. Spurrier does sit-ups, shrugs, sprints, and more and doesn't miss a beat.
"He does two sets of shoulder presses with barbells," Kendall wrote. "Fifty with 15-pounders and 40 with 10-pounders. He does 200 shoulder shrugs with 30-pound barbells, two long sets of curls, 50 tricep extensions with a 25-pound barbell (I think it was 25 pounds; oxygen depletion may have affected my memory.) There are 100 toe raises with the 30-pound barbells; 22 minutes on the treadmill; 11 minutes on the stationary bike at a not-insignificant incline. At some point, I'm thinking it's never going to end, although I'm trying to keep a brave face."
Toward the end of the workout video, Spurrier stands shirtless, shiny with sweat, holds his arms up and says, "touchdown Gamecocks!"
The worst part is when my wife showed the picture to my 5yo he asked, "Which one is daddy?"
