After graduating from high school, Justin received a scholarship from Central Michigan University and completed his matriculation there. Despite having a starting spot on the team, he decided to drop out of university to join the University of Wisconsin-Madison as he was not happy with his development at the earlier and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison he cemented his reputation as a excellent defensive target. He was again selected as the team’s MVP.

Known for

During the 2014 season, he became the first player in NFL history to have 20 or more sacks in separate seasons. He is also the only defenseman to have five touchdowns in a season since 1944. He also holds the Texans’ franchise records for both sacks and forced fumbles.

He was named Defensive Player of the Year three times in his career through 2016, becoming only the second player after Lawrence Taylor to receive the award.

first movie

Watt made his film debut in the 2016 comedy Bad Moms , starring Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Jay Hernandez, Kathryn Hahn, Jada Pinkett Smith and Christina Applegate. He was cast in a cameo role by Coach Craig.

First TV show

His first television appearance outside of NFL games was on a Good Morning America newscast weekend edition as a guest.

Personal trainer

During the off-season, Watt is in intense training to keep his crazy muscles in tip-top shape for seasons to come. His typical workout includes everything from a jaw-dropping 400-pound weight to flipping a 1,000-pound tire and manipulating the push-sled.

However, he reduces the intensity of training around the end of the off-season to ensure his body is fully recovered and fresh, but still, reduced-intensity training can bury most of us. In a 90-minute workout chronicled by Men’s Health magazine, he combined a series of mobility exercises with core work, including swinging with a 100-pound kettlebell and a band for added resistance. The foam roller was used both to activate the muscles and to restore optimal blood flow. Below is the short video of the 90 minute workout.

Of course, to cope with tremendous physical effort, you need to provide your body with adequate nutrition, which in the case of watts equates to 9,000 calories per day. In February 2016, his trainer Brad Arnett developed a diet that ensured his body had enough fuel to keep him in a difficult physical environment and recover from his injuries.Arnett had told him that if he had multiple pieces of chicken breast in a meal, he would have to wrap them in bacon. He was also asked to double servings of mashed sweet potatoes, pasta, fish and avocados. In all, he ate fifty slices of bacon, 20 chicken breasts, and 13 whole avocados along with a giant potato pancake omelet for brunch.
