This is insane.

We all know that GAA players keep themselves in good nick, well the lads at the top at least.

Diet, nutrition, recovery and rest are all part of the daily routine, and that’s without mentioning the hours and hours of work they put in at the gym or elsewhere.

Normally the only time you’d get to see their physiques is after a game when the lads swap jerseys, but we don’t think we’ve ever seen a GAA player as built as this.

And he’s a bloody goalkeeper for God’s sake.

James Skehill of Cappataggle is six-foot-five and, as an inter-county hurler, was always in good shape.

But after undergoing some serious work under the tutelage of current Galway netminder Colm Callanan, he is an absolute animal.
