yes

Just gotta up the reps and keep that heart rate high

He shouldn’t cut out lifting altogether

Lmaoooo

 

[QU!K]

You are probably frail

I’m 5’ 11 200lbs

i’m definitely not “frail”

I don’t see how weight lifting is conductive to making Zion be able to run up and down the floor for 10+ seasons but I’ll let y’all la fitness personal trainers rock

 

[ABAfliggy]

Lonzo was giving it up like study guides after sick days
“Oh yea & this one due tomorrow too!”

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

This is just sad

Lifting is not all bicep curls and bench presses . There's lots of movement based weight training every single NBA player should lift weights and should have a specialized program for them.

Tried to tell y'all. Russ is a player. Say he pads stats. Sure. But if he doesn't, it does, statistically hurt the teams. Triple Double Gawd Activated. Harden Role Player gang again.

 

[B Sox]

Why are dudes comparing Zion to Simmons?

What kind of weightlifting program do pelicans have him on where he’s putting on 8 lbs of muscle in a week?

Pelicans have professional trainers staff and nutritionist but haven’t been able to get him to lose weight

explain

Knicks so bad Lebby doesn't even want to entertain a hypothetical #ContractTheKnicks

He know it's wraps. He don't have 5 yrs left to be thinking that far ahead anymore.

you are arguing about someone putting on "8 lbs of muscle" in a week.

Do you have any clue how impossible that is to do?

I wonder why Zion still built like a football player?



Oh wait, that’s right

It’s cause they use the Saints training staff

Report: "Football Guys" Have Broken The Pelicans And May Scare Anthony Davis Away

NBC Sports’ NBA insider Tom Haberstroh makes the case that the Pelicans have failed Anthony Davis and seems to imply that the organization’s chances of bringing back the generational talent have grown rather slim. While he goes through a bunch of factors that show just how mediocre the franchise...

Wasn’t aware of this

i stand corrected

 

[pums]

Yes

All NBA teams have training staff and nutritionist's, players still spend the most part of their 24 hours away from the team staff . The same reason why there is still over weight players/ athletes everywhere.

He was coming of a knee injury so cardio work would of course be limited.
No hard running its probably at most battle ropes and aqua training .That is again something you cant over extend on as well.

Lakers game was a clear sign Russ has been focused on trying to be a "good teammate"
Didn't want to steal Hardens shine
But now he realizes if he doesn't set the tone they'll be an average team, because everybody on the team is waiting for him to take over

 

[checks mcgee]

he def been hiding snacks in his bedpost too like in Heavyweights

That boi like to eat

Even harden.

 

[leavemeglazzies]

No one has instant chemistry together sure but Ingram and Zion especially seem a poor fit

 

[Maximus Meridius]

You really think that whoever gets that 8th seed has a chance of going somewhere and won't be wasting everyone's time? The same goes for the 7th seed.

Step aside and let me s*** on the Spurs, please.

 

[OTG]

Lol @ the Ingram/Zion takes. Laughable

mfs already back tryna trash the kid like its preseason

 

[noblekane]

Zion thicker than a snicker

imagine dude in a sundress
