Shaquille O’Neal has lost some weight. The Hall of Famer revealed that he’s lost a whopping 55 pounds in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight published Thursday...

quote:
O’Neal admitted that while he’s now down to weighing 351 pounds, he wants the numbers to keep dropping on the scales and is setting himself “crazy goals.”

"I'm probably gonna get between 315 and 330," he told the outlet, adding that he wants to get to the point “where I have a 12-pack.”

“I’ve got a five-pack now so I’ve got seven more packs to go because I want to take my shirt off on Instagram,” he joked.

As for what led to his weight loss, he continued, “I was getting chubby and couldn’t even walk up the stairs. I didn’t like the way I looked in the mirror. I was like, 'I'm gonna lose 20' and then I was trying to lose 20."

He lost 55 pounds. He is still a lard-arse.

You and just about everyone else on the planet have a different definition for lard-arse.

Take a lesson, kids. Doesn't matter how much of a badass you are in your younger years, if you don't take care of yourself you will go to crap.
Respect for getting hungry and doing the work.

I figured he could take a 20 lb shite so loosing 55 ain't that big of a deal

Famed arm wrestling champ Devon Larant said Shaq is the strongest non-professional arm wrestler that he had ever linked up against. Even stronger than "the Mountain" who was also a world class strongman. Dude is a ln absolute freak of nature.

Old Shaq struggled to bench 315. Old Barkley did over 400. He is not the strongest.

I wish I only 'struggled' to bench 315

Massive human being, but it seems like he was struggling going upstairs because it looks like he's skipped leg days every time.

I would never say that to his face, fwiw. lol.

Jwils•8 months

Pushing 350 lbs around every day all day, you can skip leg day lol

CanebreakCajun•8 months

Lose it all big guy. Humanity needs you around for another 50.

wallowinit•8 months

lol. 55 pounds for him is like me losing 20.
I lost 50 pounds a while back now I'm trying to gain some back - lean muscle, not fat. He really should be well under 300 at his age.

CanebreakCajun•8 months

He's 7'1 you clown. He probably 18 inched taller than you.
