Lewandowski has created the perfect athlete physique recognized as: kickboxing training on weekends, rigorous weightlifting, quitting sweets and milk, and a strong mind to improve performance.

The then chairman of Bayern Munich, Rummeniger, once exclaimed: "Robert has a Schwarzenegger-like body."

During his Dortmund period, Shahin gave him a nickname "The Body" and said: "Levi (Levand) has the most incredible pure muscles. Everything you see in the locker room is stunned."

The change of mentality and the influence of Klopp

Levandowski's transformation began with mentality. After being terminated by Legia Warsaw at the age of 18 because of his weak figure, he reshaped himself in the low-level league, and then went to Leh and Dortmund.

It was Klopp who catalyzed his rise. Klopp set up a high-intensity training duel, with the loser being fined 50 euros, forcing Lewand to embrace hard training: "That was the first time I really understood how important training is," Lewand said.

Klopp affirmed: "He grew up to be a world-class forward, thanks directly to his professional ethics, training commitment and ambitions. His self-motivation method is extraordinary."

Stability and injury history

Lewandowski's injury history data are amazing:

2025: Ankle problems, missing 10 days

2024: Thigh problems, missing 7 days

2023: Thigh problems, missing 10 days

2022: Knee problems, missing 10 days

2021: Knee problems, missing 14 days

2020: Knee problems, missing 14 days

2019: Groin problems, absent 10 days

Considering that the forward is 36 years old, such an injury history is simply insignificant.

Guardiola once commented: "He is the most professional player I have ever met... All he lives is nutrition, sleep and training. He is rarely missing for more than two weeks due to injury."

Nutrition and Lifestyle

Under the guidance of his wife Anna (fitness coach and health book author), Lewandowski quit sweets, dairy, gluten and alcohol. He even subverted the order of meals, with lunch starting with dessert to promote fat burning. His diet is mainly high in protein, including milkshakes, salmon, rice and vegetables. The couple plans to open a health college to promote this lifestyle concept.

Output on the court

Even though he is 36 years old, Lewandowski still maintains extremely high goal efficiency. Here are his data for the 2024/2025 season:

appearances: 49;

Goals: 38;

assists: 11;

Average shots: 4.0;

Key passes: 1.3.

Such an excellent physical condition helped Lewandowski stay stable throughout his career. Just look at these data and you will understand:

Total career goals: more than 700 goals;

Second scorer in Bundesliga history: 312 goals;

Third scorer in Champions League history: more than 90 goals.

Lewandowski's legend was by no means a coincidence. This stems from his strong psychological resilience, unremitting training and unwavering self-discipline, which are cultivated through years of tailor-made training programs and precise nutrition management.

He transformed from a thin, underrated teenager to a nearly unstoppable striker known for stability, strength and professionalism. And, he is still moving forward strongly.
