What would happen when a bodybuilder tries to eat and train like Mike Tyson for a day? That’s what Gabriel Sey asked himself before he decided to put it to the test. So, how did his experiment go after he tried the notoriously grueling training regime of the famous heavyweight boxing champion for a day? We have the answers right here!

Mike Tyson’s Physically Challenging Training Regime

Known as the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title and credited by many as the greatest boxer of all time, it’s easy to imagine that Mike Tyson’s training regime is uber tough, to say the least. Yet, when bodybuilder and YouTuber Gabriel Sey decided to spend a day following Tyson’s alleged rigorous regime, it turned out ‘uber tough’ was a mild expression.

According to Gabriel’s research, Tyson begins his day with his favorite breakfast – oatmeal with honey, protein powder, and peanut butter. Next, Mike does 6 3-minute rounds of pad work followed by 10 exhausting rounds of sparring, each lasting 3 minutes. That’s far from everything though. Next up is a series of calisthenics exercises where Tyson reportedly does 2,000 squats every day. Once those are out of the way, it’s lunchtime consisting of chicken, rice, and veggies.

You’d think that was more than enough, but there’s more. After lunch, it’s time for shadowboxing exercises, including rounds of pushups, more squats, and situps. A little break for a protein shake and six whole bananas, and it’s time for jump rope exercises, more shadowboxing, and squats. After a salmon and rice dinner, Mike does a 30-minute bike ride to finish the day.

Gabriel Says the Routine Is Inhuman

Needless to say, Gabriel was already in grand shape when he did the Mike Tyson regime experiment. Still, he found it incredibly difficult (although he managed) to push through the sparring rounds, then to survive the thousands and thousands of squats, all the while bracing himself for more reps of virtually everything. In the end, Gabriel says he sees two viable options: a) either Tyson’s regime details are exaggerated, or b) Mike is the greatest boxer to ever live if he’s able to go through this training routine every single day. He bets it’s the latter.

We all know how silent a crowd can get at the bottom of the ninth inning when you have that all-star batter heading up to the home plate. Everyone waits to see if he’ll smack it out of the park, or strikeout and walk off the plate in shame. These are the hitters who left nobody disappointed; the ones who were consistently some of the best players in MLB history.

He may not be as flashy or iconic as some of the other hitters on this list, but there’s no denying that Derek Jeter is definitely one of the most consistent in MLB.

When it comes to the playoffs, you can always count on Jeter — who currently holds career records for not only the most total hits in the playoffs, but also the most singles, doubles, and triples. His time with the Yankees has also led to five different World Series titles making him one of the greatest.

There’s a lot of records that have lasted the ages, but few as impressive as Joe DiMaggio. He currently holds what is arguably one of the most elusive records, that of the 56-game hitting streak that was locked in during the 1941 series.

His career was relatively short, but that didn’t stop him from winning an incredible nine World Series’ in a total of 13 different seasons. His only loss happened during the Fall Classic, but the rest was pretty incredible.

Tony Gwynn stepped onto the field and wowed spectators and sports broadcasters alike with his incredible swing. His time on the field earned him the nickname of “Mr. Padre,” and his career average of .3382 is still the 19th best in the history of MLB.

Gwynn was not only a great batter, but he was consistent. With this kind of reputation, everyone would go absolutely wild when he was up to bat. That consistency has earned him an impressive eight batting titles.

Mel Ott might not have been tall, but he more than made up for it with his incredible ability to hit a baseball out of the park and into the highest point of the stands.

His time in MLB made him the first National League player to ever hit an incredible 500 career home runs. While his batting average of .303 isn’t necessarily dropping any jaws, he has an amazing on-base record of .414, which ain’t too shabby.

Honus Wagner earned the title of being one of the original batting stars to take the plate and knock it out of the park. Imagine being around during that era and seeing this guy come up to bat — it must have been quite a sight.

He still has one of the best career averages ever, at .328, which remains the 35th best mark in the history of baseball. Better than that, he still ranks 25 in both total bases and total hits.

Known on and off the field as “Charlie Hustle” for his incredible work ethic, Pete Rose was more about the game and less about the advanced metrics that so many people obsessed over.

However, his pure numbers on the plate will put doubts into the head of any non-believer as he’s the only person since 1961 to collect more than 4,000 knocks. So, say what you will about him, in our opinion he’s more than earned a spot on our list.

After 1967, many fans of the sport were beginning to wonder if there would ever be another player who would win the Triple Crown. The Triple Crown is the prestigious award in baseball for leading the league in batting average, home runs, and RBIs all in a single season.

But, Miguel Cabrera surprised everyone when in 2012 he more than earned that award, sustaining greatness with the swing of his bat and earning a place on every list of greatest hitters.

Eddie Collins not only had an impressive on-base average of .424, but he was also able to maintain this incredible score for 24 long seasons, making him the 13th best ever in MLB history. His batting average wasn’t too bad either.

And by not too bad we mean that with a score of .333, he was in the top 30 of all-time greatest batters to play in MLB. He was a truly irreplaceable player to the Philadelphia Athletics and the Chicago White Sox.

Joey Votto was not only a superstar, but he was humble both on the field and in front of the camera. In fact, because of his unwillingness to boast about himself, he was considered to be “the most underappreciated great hitter of his era” by many experts.

That’s not to say that he didn’t win any recognition, though. In 2012, Votto won the National League MVP but sadly, he spent most of his career playing in the minor leagues.

Even if you haven’t heard of Frank Thomas for some reason, you’ve no doubt heard of people referencing “The Big Hurt.” Nobody gets a nickname like that for nothing, and his time on the Chicago White Sox made him one of the most feared hitters ever to play baseball.

After smashing 521 home runs, Thomas went ahead and tied for 20th of all-time on-base percentage, putting him ahead of nearly every modern power hitter in the league.

It’s been over 90 years since Tris Speaker has stepped onto the plate with a bat in his hand, but he is still remembered as one of the greatest hitters to ever grace professional baseball.

In fact, the amount of hits he has to his name makes him fifth overall — and his career-topping 792 doubles is, to this day, the most that any player has ever achieved. It’s safe to say that if after 100 years nobody has broken the record, that makes him an absolute champion.

Considered to be one of the most feared sluggers of his era — and on that note, any era — Hank Greenberg is known to this day as the “Hebrew Hammer.”

Not only did the Hebrew Hammer have an unheard of 183 RBIs in a single season, but to this day he has the sixth-best slugging percentage in MLB history. If Greenberg hadn’t gone to fight for his country during World War II, who knows where his career may have gone…

Ted Williams may have had a batting average of .406 (and fans love to talk about it) but in 1924, there was one man who was doing even better. Hornsby’s average of .424 is something that professional baseball players can only dream of, and is unlikely to be beat in the near future.

As if that wasn’t enough, Rogers Hornsby has been the only player in the history of the sport to earn the Triple Crown in two separate seasons.

Nearly everybody has heard of Babe Ruth, but right behind him was the one and only Jimmie Foxx. Known around the field as “Double X,” Foxx earned the reputation of being one of the most feared power hitters, coming close but never quite surpassing Ruth.

In fact, he was the second player in history to ever hit 500 career home runs right after Ruth did it first. He did manage to receive a Triple Crown, though — something that the Babe never achieved himself.

It might seem a bit early to put a current player on the list of best hitters ever, especially one who hasn’t even turned 30 years old yet, but Trout seems to have already earned his place there.

Currently, this Angels slugger has already been ranked as one of the league’s all-time legends in several categories — including slugging, where he is 11th best in MLB history. He’s also managed to lead the American League in wins throughout every season he’s played in thus far.

To this day, Mickey “The Mick” Mantle is still one of the biggest legends that New York baseball has ever seen. As one of the best switch hitters in the industry, Mickey knocked 536 balls out of the park for an impressive amount of home runs, making him the 18th best home run hitter.

But, it was at the World Series that Mantle’s talents really shone through — where he still holds the all-time records for home runs, RBIs, total bases, and total walks in World Series history.

Manny Ramirez’s distinctive right-hand batting style has set him apart from the rest, ending the stigma that right-handed batters can’t be as good as their left-handed counterparts.

A year after his debut with the Cleveland Indians, Ramirez became a major league regular and finished second in voting for the Rookie of the Year Award.  Then, in 1995, he became an All-Star. During his time on the field, Ramirez earned a batting average of .312 and 2,574 hits to his name.

Stan “The Man” Musial spent most of his time playing for the St. Louis Cardinals, where he is still remembered today as their pride and joy. With both incredible numbers and consistency, it’s no wonder why St. Louis still pays homage to Musial at restaurants and diners.

Musial ranks in the top four in baseball history for total hits and second for total bases, not to mention that by the time he retired, this baseball legend held nearly every hitting record in National League history.

Considered to be one of the legends of the modern era of baseball, Willie Mays was an icon of both the sport and the team he played for — the San Francisco Giants.

He is undoubtedly one of the most irreplaceable players in history, having incredible talent on the field, but also being an absolute cannon in the batter’s box. His time playing ended up yielding 660 home runs — fifth-best in history.

Considered by many as one of the only players that even came close to being compared to the legendary Babe Ruth, Bonds has an incredible resume, which made him one of the most valuable players on the field during game time.

He has the fourth-best OPS of any baseball player ever and has some of the highest scores in wins above replacement (WARP) in all pure position players. His 762 home runs help to place him at the highest mark for home run hitters, as well.

Many thought that Babe Ruth was going to be the home run hitter in baseball that no one could ever dream of competing with, but that’s before they met the legendary “Hammering Hank.” Hank Aaron finally took the record for himself, after it had been held by Ruth for over 30 years.

He did so by being incredibly consistent during game time, hitting at least 24 home runs every season — an amazing feat. During his career, Aaron collected an astounding 722 more bases than Stan Musial to earn the top spot.

Ty Cobb is a legend in his own right. He was a dominant force every time he stepped onto the field, setting offensive records during his time with the Detroit Tigers.

His batting average during his 23-year career reached an astounding .3662, and many doubt that it can ever be beaten. Additionally, Cobb has the second most total hits, fifth-most total bases, ninth most RBIs — plus, the most career batting titles of any player.

Most players on this list have earned a batting average that has landed somewhere around the mid-to-high .3 range. Ted Williams — a.k.a. “The Splendid Splinter” — is the only player in history to achieve a .406 batting average, and he did so in 1941.

This is the last time that any player has accomplished such an incredible record. He has since gone down in history as the best hitter who sadly, never once managed to win a World Series.

Quite possibly the icon of New York baseball, Lou Gehring — a.k.a. “The Iron Horse” — is in the top three all-time of highest OPS and slugging percentage. His collection of 1,995 RBIs, which he racked up in a mere 17 seasons, is the shortest tenure of any player in the top 30.

His on-base percentage during the 1928 playoffs is still a thing of legend, with an incredible record of .706, truly earning him a spot in history.

Babe Ruth is one of those players in baseball in which it’s difficult to separate the man from the legend that we all know and love today.

During his time on the field and in the batter’s box, Ruth racked up a huge number of records and put himself at what is considered the standard of baseball achievement. He still has the highest top WARP, OPS, and slugging percentage — plus, a career batting average of .3421, which is the tenth best of any player in history.

Lou Brock wasn’t just one of the best hitters in baseball history, but he was also considered to be one of the fastest and most entertaining men to ever shine in the sport.

He is one of the few guys in this game who has ever hit the 3,000-hit plateau, and is the only player to have an award named after him while still being active (Lou Brock Award for the most stolen bases in the National League). His time playing for the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs have made him a favorite past player of both teams.

It’s hard to ignore what Alex Rodriguez managed to accomplish during his time on the field, going down as one of the best — albeit controversial — players to ever play. During his career Rodriguez played for three different teams including the New York Yankees, Texas Rangers, and the Seattle Mariners.

Although he’s made an impressive 2,762 career hits, he has also been struck out 1,903 times. A decent ratio but quite close to the 2,000 strikeout mark that the best players try to avoid…

Considered by many as one of the most surprising players to ever hit the pitch, Ivan Rodriguez was undoubtedly a major threat during the height of his career, when he helped lead the Texas Rangers to victory after victory.

His hit record stands at double his strikeout record, with 2,842 hits and 1,472 strikeouts. It’s fair to say that Ivan wasn’t going to get distracted or let his eyes wander — he hardly let a ball out of his sight.

Frank Robinson played at a time before the Cincinnati Reds came to be what they are today. Back in Robinson’s time, the Cincinnati Reds were actually called the Redlegs.

In a career spanning 21 years, Robinson racked up some impressive stats — he had a batting average of .294 and he only struck out 1,532 times. His ratio of hits to strikeouts is pretty impressive considering that after over two decades, he managed to leave with 2,943 hits.

Murray played for quite a few teams, and it seems as though all of them were grateful to have him. He earned his nickname “Steady Eddie” for being the model of consistency and being one of the best switch hitters of all time.

The teams which included him on their roster were the Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers, Cleveland Indians, New York Mets, and Anaheim Angels. With every single one of them, Steady Eddie would collect hits and draw walks no matter what jersey was on his back.

Roberto Clemente wasn’t just a great player — fans and critics alike regard him as one of the best people to have ever played baseball, with a charisma that shone through both on and off the field.

He also played like an absolute machine, getting hit after hit and all with the same team — the Pittsburgh Pirates. His total collected hits stands tall today at exactly 3,000. And with only 1,230 strikeouts, it’s fair to say Clemente is one of the best.

Considered to be one of the greatest of all time is no easy feat, but Carl Yastrzemski made it his career mission to put every ounce of energy he had onto the field so that no regret would ever be felt by the time he walked off.

Yastrzemski played for the Boston Red Sox and spent all 23 years with them collecting 3,419 hits along with 452 career home runs. By the time he retired, he had collected three career batting titles.

We’ve all seen those pitching machines that players, both amateur and professional, practice on. Well, Paul Molitor could easily be described as a hitting machine. With a batting average of .306 and 3,319 hits, it’s safe to say that the world of baseball misses seeing him getting up to bat.

His 21 seasons were spent playing for the Milwaukee Brewers, Toronto Blue Jays, and Minnesota Twins — and by the time his career ended in 1998, the Hall of Fame had no question as to whether or not he was getting a spot.

Rod Carew has been considered by many to be one of the greatest players of his generation and that’s enough explanation needed as to why he might be a part of a list of greatest hitters.

He won both the Rookie of the Year Award and the MVP Award during his time with the Minnesota Twins and the California Angels. With a batting average of .328, Carew was a force to be reckoned with — and left the game with 3,000 hits and only 1,000 strikeouts.

Jesse Burkett is a legend from the past, one of the great players who initially inspired Americans to fall in love with baseball. In fact, three out of the four teams that he played for no longer exist — that’s how long ago he was hitting balls out of the park.

His batting average of .338 is a number to be respected, not to mention that in his just under 10,000 plate appearances, Burkett only struck out 610 times. That is quite an impressive feat…
