1.94 meters. 88 kilos of pure muscle. When a group of scientists studied Erling Haaland’s body, they did not find a simple explanation. They said, literally, that observing his physique was like taking a physiology class.
The curious thing is that it was not always like this. At 16, they called him ‘the skinny kid,’ with no body or physical presence. In just two years he added 15 kilos of pure muscle, and it was not because of genetics: it was because of a system that starts 3 hours before going to sleep. Orange glasses that the world found funny, between 9 and 10 hours of monitored sleep, cryotherapy at -110°C after every match, and a diet of 6,000 calories a day that includes cow heart and liver.
Even that lotus celebration you see with every goal is not a show for the cameras. It is the closing of a real meditation routine. The body you admire is only the consequence. The habits no one shows you are the real cause.
