How change in diet and extra gym work helped in-form Antonio stay fit – The Athletic

Another victory. Another winner by Michail Antonio.

There are several contributing factors behind the West Ham No 9s blistering start to the season including a change in his diet and extra work in the gym to strengthen his troublesome hamstrings.

In January, the in-form striker changed his diet and no longer eats red meat. Nine months on, it appears to be having the desired effect.

Antonio has six goals in his eight league appearances this season. Only Mohamed Salah (10) and Jamie Vardy (seven) have scored more, and theyve both played an additional game. And it is not just the changes to his diet where Antonio is feeling the benefits. His full-body workout includes single-leg Romanian deadlifts and jump split squats, which have allowed him to stay fully fit.

The 31-year-old told Sky Sports: Ive come to realise Im no longer the young pup that I used to be. I kept believing that I was. There were certain things in life I was doing that I could have been better with.

I used to eat what I wanted, I wasnt the best eater. Now Ive changed my diet and routine of life. And Ive noticed since I changed my diet Ive had less niggles and Ive not felt my hamstrings at all.

These days, West Ham supporters are more accustomed to seeing Antonio find the back of the net, as opposed to leaving the field with an injury. The forward has played 716 minutes in the league this season. After the first nine matches of 2020-21, he had only played 485.
