Before he was a Hall of Famer. Before he was a part of five championship teams. Before he won the Most Valuable Player award and Finals MVP Award three times each. Before all that, Johnson helped his father haul trash in Lansing, Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/embeds.beehiiv.com\/118015db-2f56-4d21-b8f9-f6e8af6eea67\" data-test-id=\"beehiiv-embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border-radius: 4px; border: 2px solid #e5e7eb; margin: 0; background-color: transparent;\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy job was to get the loose trash, and he would get barrels,\u201d Johnson said during&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/work\/1229607\/lakers-legend-magic-johnson-became-a-champion-through-perfectionism\/\">a speaking event.<\/a>&nbsp;\u201cOne day, it was 17 degrees below zero. It was really cold, and as a young kid I couldn\u2019t stand it. So I ran out of the truck, picked up some of the trash, then ran back in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnson recalls his father saying to him, \u201cthere\u2019s trash stuck in the ice, son. If you do your life half way, that\u2019s how you\u2019ll practice basketball, that\u2019s how you\u2019ll do your homework\u2014you\u2019ll always be a person who doesn\u2019t finish the job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat just stung me to get out of the truck, pick up my shovel, and chop the ice around the barrel until I\u2019d picked up all of the trash,\u201d he says. \u201cThat day, that moment, changed my life. From that point on I did everything the right way, and I became a perfectionist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnson would take his father&#8217;s advice to heart into his basketball career. During his high school days, John was focused on mastering his craft \u2014 &#8220;I dribbled to the store with my right hand and back with my left. Then I slept with my basketball,\u201d he told USA Weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 1979 as a rookie, the team hadn&#8217;t won a championship in 22 years. Eager to make his mark on the team, Johnson showed up two hours early for his first day of practice, then three hours early after that. Inspired by Johnson&#8217;s work ethic, his coach made every player on the team show up for practice at least two hours early. The extra hours paid off \u2014 the LA Lakers won the championship that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted them to see and understand that I was there to win,\u201d Johnson said.&nbsp;\u201dThey hated me. But let me tell you what happened, it changed the culture. Everything changed, guys start getting there early and guess what happens\u2014we won the championship that year. As a leader, you must understand what you need to do to put your company, and your staff, in a winning position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xlXV94\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"307\" src=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BTG-ebook-2022-banner-1024x307.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BTG-ebook-2022-banner-1024x307.png 1024w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BTG-ebook-2022-banner-280x84.png 280w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BTG-ebook-2022-banner-600x180.png 600w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BTG-ebook-2022-banner-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BTG-ebook-2022-banner-768x230.png 768w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BTG-ebook-2022-banner-1140x342.png 1140w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BTG-ebook-2022-banner.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magic Johnson&#8217;s NBA training routine &amp; diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During a brief hiatus from the NBA in the early &#8217;90s, Johnson spent three years training with former NBA player Lester Conner and bodybuilder Marchell Henry to focus on adding strength and muscle mass to his physique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ef7cb97e787abd2a333345aeab6a5ab0\">an interview with AP News<\/a>, Henry described Johnson&#8217;s typical gym workout routine, which consisted of &#8220;four sets for each exercise, with 12 repetitions in the first set, 10 in the next, eight in the third and six to eight in the last.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what an example chest day routine looked like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bench press: 135 pounds in the first set, followed by 185, 205 and finally 225 pounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dumbbell incline: 65 pounds, 70, 75-80, 85.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cable cross: Four sets of varying weight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flys using a machine: Four sets of varying weight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once he officially returned to the NBA as a player in 1996, Johnson continued his weightlifting routine in addition to his basketball workouts. A 1996 AP News article described a typical daily training routine for Johnson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>To get ready for the NBA grind, Johnson\u2019s daily routine included an hour\u2019s morning workout with weights, followed by two hours on the basketball court and up to 700 situps daily _ not to mention games with his touring team and the occasional 3 1\/2-mile jog.<\/p>\n<cite>Magic\u2019s \u2018New\u2019 Physique Was Years in Making | AP News<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnson&#8217;s basketball workouts also included shooting 150 free-throws, 50 left hooks, 50 right hooks \u2014 followed by afternoon naps which were crucial for him to get enough recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it came to his diet, Johnson started making changes to his lifestyle as he got older. \u201cI knew I was heading toward 30 and I needed a change,\u201d Johnson said in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-1988-12-07-sp-986-story.html\">an interview with The Los Angeles Times<\/a>. \u201cSo at the start of the off-season I said, \u2018From now on I\u2019ll eat twice a day, eat a lot of chicken and fish, a lot of fruit.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also had to cut out a lot of his favourite treats, including cookies, pizzas, popcorn, and nachos \u2014 \u201cI\u2019d watch TV at night in bed, I\u2019d have to have my nachos. No more nachos. That hurt me, really hurt me. I\u2019m a snack man. I love nachos. I\u2019d have nachos 5 nights out of 7, at least.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After making the dietary changes, Johnson felt the effects right away. \u201cI saw the difference right away, yeah, when I got to camp. I\u2019m gliding, just running all day, making moves, cuts, everything. It\u2019s a big difference, a big, big change,&#8221; he told the LA Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magic Johnson&#8217;s Post-NBA daily routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, at 61 years old, Johnson still has the same relentless work ethic that helped him become one of the greatest basketball players of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/07\/29\/inside-magic-johnsons-daily-routine-at-60.html\">an interview with CNBC Make It<\/a>, the former Lakers player wakes up between 4-4:30am every morning. &#8220;Sometimes I&#8217;ll grab a banana on my way to the gym. After a workout I have a protein shake and oatmeal. That never changes,&#8221; he told&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/furthermore.equinox.com\/articles\/2012\/03\/magic-johnson\">Furthermore<\/a>. Waking up early gives him half an hour to prepare for the day ahead, as well as get in a two hour workout session, which includes a 5-mile power walk with his wife, five days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I want to feel a certain way, I want to look a certain way and I want to be able to stay young.

In&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/magic-johnson-20-years-living-hiv-67567\">an interview with Newsweek<\/a>, he said he used to work until 10-11pm but his wife put an end to that \u2014 &#8220;when I work, I&#8217;m on.
