PastThePages.ca has a column about competitive eating in which “Notorious” Bob Shoudt describes his exercise regimen:

“To date I have managed to work my way into being ranked number three in the world without having to train,” said Shoudt.
“Though, I am very active in my personal life. I routinely do a thousand crunches a day and I train three days per week in Krav Maga, a tactical defense martial art. I am also an avid mountain climber.”

Shoudt mentioned practising with the Big Angus burger in an interview on the Krystal Square Off blog.
