James Harrison's workout Instagrams will either motivate or depress the hell out of you
MOTIVATION MONDAY, Y'ALL!!!!!
Oh. Hm. It's Tuesday?
Well, these videos might motivate you. Then again, they might depress you. Either way, they show about as savage a workout regimen as you'll ever see.
James Harrison is a linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's a beast, as the kids say. And he's 39 years old.
But Harrison isn't just spending the off-season chilling out or reminiscing about his two Super Bowl championships. No sir, Harrison is also spending time posting some rather insane workout videos on Instagram.
Take this post from Tuesday, for example. It's Harrison doing push-ups. Clap push-ups. BEHIND-THE-BACK clap push-ups. Savage.
A few days ago, Harrison posted this video of him playing volleyball ... WITH A MEDICINE BALL. The core muscles hurt just watching this.
Then sometimes Harrison apparently just hits a giant tire with a sledgehammer. So that's cool?
So like we said at the top, dear reader, the choice is yours.
You can either take Harrison's posts as MOTIVATION to get your own health and life together, or you can just shake your head and chuckle at the notion of playing volleyball with a medicine ball.
We're doing the latter.
