Brantley Gilbert just kicked off the summer leg of The Devil Don’t Sleep Tour, and while he tries to left weights from time to time on the road, Brantley doesn’t have a strict pre-tour or on-tour workout regimen like guys like Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. “I’ll be honest, not the way I should,” admits Brantley. “I’m probably about to the age and the point in my life where I need to start dressing that up a little bit. But I’m not really that much of a cardio guy.”
Brantley is more into pumping iron, and he remembers a few years back when he was on tour with Tim McGraw, he says, “I’d go out there work out with him about 30 minutes and he’d be out there for eight hours! If you cut that man, Tim McGraw, if you cut him he’ll bleed chrome like dude on Terminator. I ain’t never seen nothing like that in my life.”
Long after Brantley had called it a day with his workout, Tim would still be hitting it hard and Brantley jokes, “I’d watch them out the window and start sweating. I used to have nightmares about him knocking on my bus door and telling me it’s time to work out. I’m terrified of that sumbitch, him and Kenny (Chesney) both.”
