Like others have said, he doesn't go into much detail. We don't even know his squat numbers.

Crosby squats. Hell, every single NHL player squats. Why? Because its such a versatile exercise. So many different sets and reps with different weights to attack your body a variety of different ways. Its laughable at best to suggest that a squat doesn't develop fast twitch muscle fibers. Pretty sure its the other way around.

Eating 4500 calories per day for an active person who works out like this isn't that crazy. Iginla is probably extremely active beyond the 2 hours per day that he works out. Notice he talks about playing a lot of other sports, like tennis and baseball, and probably skating a lot. Makes for a lot of calories being burnt.

I find it extremely interesting that he gets the majority of his carbs through fruits. People say bagels, people say eat some cereal, get the whole wheat food in for energy, without paying much attention to fruit.

I'm inpsired by Jarome's regime. I have a big game myself tonight. My game day regime involves sitting at a desk for 8 hours drinking #### coffee, driving to Chicken on the Way to see if I can also reach 4500 calories for the day before heading to the arena and hitting the ice. Recovery involves several well deserved beers followed by four hours sleep. Athletes all have their different systems.

Halibut has high enough mercury levels that it shouldn't be eaten in dinner-sized portions on a daily basis.

Maybe that explains Iginla's poor starts.

That sample diet must be missing some items. Unless those are quadruple sized portions of halibut and buffalo burgers, I don't see how he hits 4500 calories.
