Josh Donaldson reveals he listens to Adele to get pumped up for workouts

There’s a fire starting in Josh Donaldson’s heart, reaching a fever pitch before he does a box jump.

The Toronto Blue Jays slugger revealed in a 60 Minutes Sports interview that he listens to Adele to get pumped up — in his words, “crunk” — for workouts, and there’s actual proof (WARNING: Some NSFW language is used):

“I don’t know, it just gets into my bones.”

I kind of get it — Adele’s music is passionate and emotional, just the kind of stuff you’d want to tap into during a lift. Considering he’s the defending American League MVP, it’s a case of whatever works.
