And I have to say nothing yet has been more suffocating and exhausting and effective than freestyle wrestling or open ocean water swimming."
"There are moments in both that I am always like I think I might die haha," he continued. "Yup pretty sure I can't go on let go would be better than this. Haha 😂 and I'm not even [a] professional athlete. I can't imagine the depths in which they push themselves. Unreal. I do it for movies Hahahaha very different motivation."

Tatum's "22 Jump Street" co-star, Jonah Hill, commented on the post, writing, "Ocean is everything."
While appearing on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" earlier this month, Tatum explained how he got in his best shape ever during coronavirus quarantine after he had gained some weight.
"For the first week or two weeks I definitely was just drinking beers and riding dirt bikes and I was like, 'I can't do this for like two months. Like, this is bad,'" Tatum said.
“And then me and my buddy, we just went really, really hard. We just started training every day. And it was great. I mean, I came out a completely new person," he continued.
The children's book author jokingly admitted that he had gotten "pretty fat" before he got back in shape.
"I would say, you know, college 10 -- a nice 10 lbs," Tatum told Fallon. "And then I took it off."
