The average life expectancy in the United States is 78.6 years.
Bryson DeChambeau wants to outdrive that, too.
Over the past year, DeChambeau has added upwards of 40 pounds of weight and muscle in order to add countless yards of length. He apparently also wants to add longevity.
In an interview with GQ Magazine released Thursday, DeChambeau detailed how heâs added the weight and muscle. The article, entitled âThe Real Life Diet of Bryson DeChambeau, Who Bulked Up to Boom Long Drivesâ also detailed a reason why.
âIâve always been interested in life in general, growing up,â said DeChambeau. âI always questioned everything. I didnât have a lot of resources when I was young. I couldnât go down all these roads with these questions that I asked at an early age. But now that Iâve been able to have some success, Iâve kinda gotten deep into most of these things and only taken what has added value to me. Iâm always trying to add more value to my life in general. I mean, my goal is to live to 130 or 140. I really think thatâs possible now with todayâs technology. I think somebodyâs going to do it in the next 30 or 40 years. I want humans to be better. I want them to succeed.â
According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the âgreatest fully authenticated age to which any human has ever livedâ is 122 years 164 days by Jeanne Louise Calment.
DeChambeau is currently 26.
One of DeChambeauâs fellow pros, Justin Thomas, said earlier this month that DeChambeauâs drives were âpretty unbelievable.â
Thomas couldnât believe this, either.
âWhat in the hell are you even talking about dude @b_dechambeauâ Thomas wrote on a tweet that referenced the story.
