NFL Legend Shannon Sharpe Joins Serbian Bodybuilding Legend for Taxing Leg Workout: “I Won’t Be Standing”

Shannon Sharpe often joins Milos Sarcev for rigorous bodybuilding sessions. The former football tight end is also a fitness enthusiast. Despite not being a bodybuilder, Sharpe is known for bench pressing 500 lbs during his prime as a soccer player. After retiring from the sport, the 55-year-old is more focused on heavy lifting at the gym.

The Hall of Fame footballer took to his Instagram to spill the beans on his latest gym session with Milos Sarcev. The Serbian coach’s leg session left Sharpe exhausted to the core. 

Shannon Sharpe’s leg day with Milos Sarcev

Sarcev loves training with NFL legend Shannon Sharpe. The Serbian coach, known for training the Top 3 Mr. Olympia Samson Dauda, is in awe of Sharpe’s strength and power at 55. The IFBB Pro coach underscores how age is just a number for Sharpe. So, he took the football enigma on a run at the gym.

“I joined the CRAZED @milossarcev for a Leg Day at the gym… Safe to say I won’t be standing on business OR standing at all for the next couple days!” revealed Sharpe about his leg-destroying workout session with Sarcev. The intensity of the session can freak out even the bodybuilding champions. Sharpe is definitely overcoming his mental limitations after joining hands with the Serbian bodybuilder. 

Earlier, Sharpe revealed his reason for seeking professional help in training. The football icon is up for a bench press challenge with The Rock and has to improve his physical and mental strength. “This season is about ‘changing my training’. I’m changing my Mental, Physical, Emotional & Financial training,” he noted in his post announcing his association with Milos Sarcev. And the duo make a great team.

Milos Sarcev believes the football icon can compete with Jay Cutler

Sarcev is a champion coach who understands his clients’ positives and negatives. However, the Serbian bodybuilder could only see merits in the football icon’s training sessions. Appearing on the Cutler Cast, the IFBB Pro confessed if Shannon Sharpe happened to be in bodybuilding, he would give Jay Cutler a run for his money.

The coach calls the NFL icon a genetic freak as he aces at the gym at 55. That could be a reason why the Serbian Coach is pushing his client’s physical and mental capabilities to extremes by chalking out heavy-duty sessions.

While Sharpe has to focus on rest and recovery after an intense leg day, the Serbian coach will come up with an even more intense plan for the football maestro next time.
