C'mon. He's posted that plenty of times in the Julius, BI and Kuzma thread when someone posted a muscle pic  |

anyone got an image of him last year without shirt? I am not seeing it....dude looks like an extremely skinny dude to me tightening/flexing (hands, bowed elbows, visible abs, protruding clavicle's). Probably should not have said anything....will be seen as hating....but that is by no means what I would define as jacked or muscular....maybe slim and athletic?
Also, cannot tell if it is the tattoo and/or lighting....but does Gelo have a gut? |

Are the Lakers trying to trade him? |
Any sane person would try to trade him instead of Ingram (and Kuz, for that matter). |
Lots of insane posters here then

Obviously he’s flexing. But I think he’s pretty clearly put on some weight. |

brought it up recently in the Kuzma thread also....nobody seemed offended when I posted there....

don't they kind of always....its hard to recall a returning young player that we have had in recent years that there has not been a post about them putting on muscle in the offseason attached to a picture.
It's not just us....every team does this annually. Check out some of the Magic media/boards....they are losing their minds because word is Jon Isaac put on some muscle this summer. |

You lift weights
You get bulky
less basketball = less calories burned = more bulk
Guys looking a little bigger/more muscular in the off season isn't a big deal. A few weeks into the season and they will normalize again with all the cardio.
You guys make such a big deal of this every season lol. What really matters is what new/improved basketball skills they bring into the new season. You can't see or know that from a picture or even a video.
Last thing: I think endurance is much more important than raw strength anyway, so lets hope our guys come back ready to out run the opposition for 48 minutes.

Is it bad that I want Lonzo to improve his FG% from range just to prove haters like Don Maclean wrong.
I've been down on the form too. But I hope he succeeds cause the dude has a lot of people down on him.
Woj is like, "Don't hold your breath," on Lonzo being traded to the Spurs. Puts a light on him that folks around the league don't see or value the upside. Hope Lonzo is hearing this and adding fuel to the fire to become great. |

Seriously though ya'll. So many of ya'll were like "We see the other guys working where's Lonzo?" Even when you had evidence or GT telling you that he was in the weight room every other day.
Then Lonzo actually posts a pic of some summer gainz and ya'll are "Yeah well....you're supposed to look bigger during the summer.." and some of you going so far as to say you don't see any difference...
He just can't freaking win with some of ya'll it seems

I think there’s a blatantly obvious difference in tone between your posts about Zo than that one. With that said, my mistake. |

He's flexing, but he's made gains.

| I saw that dude with his shirt off 2-3 times a week last season (pause) and he never had a chance of looking like he does in that pic, no matter how hard he tried. It's improvement. |

Deadlift.
I stopped doing isolation on traps years ago. Not needed. |

Aren't you glad you asked for a picture from last year to show there isn't much difference?

He looks relatively lean in other places so most likely just bloat. |

Nice (pause) man I’m glad you took the comedy opportunity there instead of leaving it for us haha.
Yeah, he’s not only bigger but all of that baby fat around the mid section is gone. Guy looks like he has been training hard and eating really well. |

Deadlift.

Deadlift, squat, bench press, good mornings, standing overhead barbell extensions are pretty much all you need. |
