CatThere is no comparing Clemens' "workouts" versus Ryan's. Ryan maintained his ability to pitch well into his 40s because of AEROBIC workouts...those were commonly discussed and written about. Now, if Clemens is maintaining a similar ability to pitch because of a strict workout regiment, it is NOT aerobic or else he would be working off that extra chin. Now I don't know if Clemens is working out or not, but many on this board seem to think that is the answer to his longevity. Well if he is working out with weights in season and staying in shape in that fashion...there is only one way in which to recover quickly, especially at age 43.
Edited to say: There is really nothing in his physical stature that makes me think that he has any kind of extraordinary work out program...perhaps he is just a phenominal pitcher.
