With all of the training that you do, have you all finished college? What college do/did you attend?
Since I have been preparing for the Olympics this year I didn’t attend college the 2nd semester. I have been going to the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. I intend to transfer to Ohio State after the Olympics.
Tell us what your typical weekday is like.
I typically wake up at about 8:50 a.m. and go to a local gym, called Worlds Gym. I do about 35 to 40 minutes of stomach strength, run for 5 minutes and then do some general strength exercises such as pull-ups, curls, etc.
Next, I go home, get something to eat and go to practice from 11am - 1pm. After our first practice I usually come home and sit around a little bit, then head back to practice from about 3:45 p.m. until about 5:45 p.m. When I am done with my second practice, I go home, eat dinner and sit around. I spend a lot of time waiting around for the next practice.
Tell us what your typical weekday is like.
A typical weekday for me is kind of crazy depending on the time of the year. Usually on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I am up early around 5:30 a.m. and heading to the weight room at the training center. I stay there usually and eat breakfast and then I get ready for 9:30 a.m. practice.
We usually train until 12:00 p.m. and then I head home to take care of my dog and walk her. After that I’m usually resting until our next practice which is 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. We love Thursday and Saturday because those are kind of lighter days for us. On Thursday we train from 10:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.

I usually wake-up around 9 a.m. and eat breakfast. I also grab coffee right before I go the gym for our first workout. I work out from about 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then head home.
At home I either take a nap and/or rest and make sure I have a good meal. I like to be fully prepared for our second practice which is from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. After the second practice, I come home eat dinner, rest, watch TV and do it all over again the next day.
Tell us a little about what you were thinking going into Championships as far as your health was concerned?
My coach and I decided that I would not be able to compete in all of the events. I was going to compete on floor and/or vault, but since it wasn’t really beneficial to do so, we decided not to.
Tell us a little about what you were thinking going into Championships as far as your health was concerned?
I was a little concerned since my back had been bothering me for a couple of months. I came in with the intention to compete but after the first day of training my back froze up on me so I knew I needed to be smart about it and make the right decision on competing or not.
Paul, you just won your third consecutive All-Around National Title, how does that feel?
Obviously it feels great! Being the leader going into the Olympics is a great feeling and I feel very confident about the U.S. gymnastics team. It was awesome to have a three-peat and to be the leader of the U.S. team at this time.
Do you like horse riding? Then you’ll be interested to know that in this sport, both horse and human are declared Olympic medallists! It is also the only Olympic sport where men and women compete in the same event.
Have you been to all 50 states? If not, is there one place you would really like to see?
No, I haven’t been to all 50 states, but I’d say most of them. The one place I really wanted to go and had not had the opportunity to see was Florida, but then we turned around and competed in three Visa American Cup competitions there. There isn’t really one place I haven’t been that I really want to see.
Have you been to all 50 states? If not, where have you not had the opportunity to go?
I have been to most of the 50 states, but I’m not sure exactly which states I haven’t been to.
Have you been to all 50 states? If not, where have you not had the opportunity to go?
I’m pretty sure I haven’t been to all 50 states, but I have been to a lot. There are some states I’ve been to that I can’t even remember, but the one state that I know I haven’t been to is Delaware.
Blaine, you were recently on NBC’s Today Show and on the David Letterman show, right?
Yes, I was.
