”How does he stay at the top when he’s nearing 40?” is likely the question that everyone has after LeBron James’ NBA record-breaking performance this week.

It’s a reasonable inquiry considering that the majority of NBA players retire at age 33 and that many had suffered from injuries for years before.

Isaac Robertson, a personal trainer and nutritionist at Total Shape, has put together the athlete’s exercise regimen, which consists of weight training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and rigorous diet planning.

“It’s no wonder LeBron James’ routine is so structured and disciplined when you consider his sporting success,” he stated.

“He’s a sporting marvel who remains at the top of his game and his sport, breaking records at 38-years-old in a season where the average age is 26-years-old.”

Robertson breaks detailed the athlete’s weekly training regimen here.

On Monday

James focuses on his upper body at the start of the week. He performs the same number of wide-grip lat pulldowns after three sets of ten reps of incline dumbbell bench presses.

On Monday, he will also perform three sets of ten repetitions of one-arm dumbbell rows after performing three sets of one-arm dumbbell military presses.

Tuesday Plyometric exercises, which are simply exercises involving force and speed, are the focus of this Tuesday’s workout.

On Tuesdays, James can be found attending spin workout courses that range anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour.

Other plyometric activities that he will perform after this are step climbing, lunges, push-ups, jump squats, push-up hops, and skipping.

On Wednesday

When the week reaches its midpoint, the back, biceps, and trapezius are the main focus muscles.

Three sets of ten grip pull-ups, four sets of twelve standing bicep curls with a barbell on each arm, and three sets of fifteen chin-ups make up James’s regimen.

James continues with four sets of twelve barbell bent-over rows and three sets of 10 wide-grip pull-ups, as if that wasn’t enough.

Thursday.

Cardio Day is on Thursday, so it’s all about the stamina.

James will jump rope for thirty minutes in the morning to get his heart rate up before doing three sets of eight or ten pull-ups. Three sets of ten dumbbell bench presses and an equal number of single-arm cable rows come next.

James will perform three sets of six or eight overhead single-arm presses per arm, followed by three sets of 10 leg curls, to conclude the workout.

Friday.

Though the weekend is approaching, leg-day means there’s never a moment to relax.

Friday starts with the same number of leg presses after four sets of 12 seated calf lifts.

James will then perform a set of four sets of twelve back reps and a set of calisthenics.

Weighted umps, jumping lunges, box jumps, and push-ups are examples of calisthenic exercises. He would perform three sets of 15 repetitions for every exercise for each of these.

Plyometrics and spin class on Saturday

Sunday is LeBron James’ rest day.

Protein and fruit, like egg whites, omelettes, yoghurt, smoked salmon, berries, and gluten-free pancakes, are James’s morning staples.

However, that is a substantial meal; on days when the all-star is not in the mood to eat much, he will consume a bagel topped with peanut butter.

Meals for lunch and dinner are often heavy in protein and full of healthy greens. Along with some spaghetti, it has chicken breast, veggies, and rocket salad dressed in olive oil.

A snack

James is a huge fruit snacker. He loved it so much that he and his wife, Savannah, used to run a Miami fresh fruit juice business. James usually reaches for berries, bananas, and apples. He also frequently eats apple slices covered with nut butter during halftime.
