It’s like all my interests in life just come back around into creating some sort of career path. Now you’ve got this fitness shit going on. SABATHIA: You’ve got so much going on, though, whether it’s Fuck, That’s Delicious or your music. I move at a pace that they don’t understand and they can’t handle. Why don’t you get a little deal for it?” So I got a little money for it. Then March hit, and everything slowed down.īRONSON: They were telling me, “Slow down. Did you work on an album throughout quarantine?īRONSON: I was doing the album a lot earlier on in the year. It’s just harder for us to realize it, but once we do, we’ll be unstoppable. But I know that we’re looking much better now. I feel like you’re the same way, because you’ll come to the gym and be like, “Yo, I’m plateauing.” I’m like, “Dog, you the best I’ve ever seen you look.”īRONSON: It’s mental.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I really don’t see it. I still feel like I’m walking around at 330 pounds, cuz. SABATHIA: You know what’s crazy, though? I don’t see it in myself. When you walk by that reflection in the window and you just catch that tricep? Woo! You’ve got to run around with him.īRONSON: Oh yeah. SABATHIA: And you’ve got a 10-month-old baby.
I’m looking at my reflection right now in the window, and I’ve got some cuts coming. I don’t like getting sick, so I’m going to continue everything I possibly can to stay right.
I know a bunch of people who were in shape who caught it, and they had some struggles. A year ago, you and I would have probably caught this virus and struggled.īRONSON: I probably would have gone bye-bye. We’ve been able to work out, transform our bodies. Your family’s good, my family’s been good through all this. SABATHIA: We can’t really complain about nothing. The way the world is working right now, my record is the last thing I’m worried about. So, to be honest with you, I’m happy with everything. This shit will change your life.”īRONSON: And you were absolutely right. SABATHIA: I told you, “Whenever you’re ready, I’ve got the gym for you. If we didn’t have that conversation, I probably wouldn’t have ever come to the gym. You’re part of the catalyst to this transformation. How do you feel with the album coming out? Usually you’d be on the road right now doing all kinds of crazy shit.īRONSON: It’s been weird, but I can only do what I can do. SABATHIA: The healthy route, I like that. I’m working on a new cookbook so I’m trying to experiment with all kinds of weird shit. I’ve just been baking it and giving it away because I can’t have it in front of me.īRONSON: I got you. SABATHIA: So you’re about to get a little cheat day in?īRONSON: I’m trying not to. I don’t want to ruin them.īRONSON: Nah, I didn’t do nothing. I’ve been working really hard on getting these muscles. She ruined my back and now I’m feeling things I’ve never felt before.īRONSON: It feels like some muscles popped out of where they were before. I went over to the Chinese lady the other day. What’s good?ĪCTION BRONSON: I definitely need that. BEN BARNAĬC SABATHIA: I just had a massage. As he tells Sabathia, all the motivation he needs is in front of the mirror. On Friday, he released his sixth album, Only for Dolphins, and is planning the fifth season of his hedonistic food and travel show Fuck, That’s Delicious, which will recenter its focus to reflect Bronson’s newfound outlook of earning what you eat. But Bronson hasn’t let his commitment to health slow his creative output. Now, Bronson can regularly be seen on his Instagram account laying waste to whatever gym equipment stands in his way, often alongside Sabathia, who has also reshaped his body in the last few months. Not only has he sworn off carbs, but during quarantine, the famously indulgent Queens rapper has overhauled his entire lifestyle, losing over 100 pounds in the process. But Bronson had no plans to eat that loaf himself. Last week, when Action Bronson got on the phone with the former New York Yankees All-Star pitcher CC Sabathia, he had one eye on some bread in the oven.
