Trainer didn’t weigh Lacy, worked on lifestyle

GREEN BAY, Wis. — While so much of the offseason focus on Eddie Lacy was about how much weight he lost, the man who trained him apparently never put the Green Bay Packers running back on a scale.

In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, P90X founder Tony Horton said his work with Lacy was more about a lifestyle change than weight loss.

“We didn’t want to do that,” Horton told the newspaper. “We wanted to take all the pressure off. We just wanted to have a good time, work really hard and eat clean and drink plenty of water. I had him on some supplements that he had never done. He needed some Vitamin D supplements. We just kind of checked what he needed, and he was low on Vitamin D and fiber. He had never taken a supplement before, ever.

“He’s a genetic freak. But he took it easy there the last year and a half. Just like anybody else, if you don’t pay attention and think you’re going to get by on pure genetics, it’s going to catch up to you. We just made some dietary shifts, some supplement shifts.”

A source told ESPN.com in April that Lacy had lost 15-18 pounds by the time he reported back to Green Bay for the offseason program. Horton’s estimate matched that number. A source said Tuesday, when the Packers had their first open OTA practice of the offseason, that Lacy’s weight was “in the 240s,” which means he weighed somewhere near 260 pounds last season.
