I mean, if this is true, Snell is a beast. Reminds me of Dwight Howard from when he finished his last high school game to when he got drafted.


Yeah, that a ridiculous amount of muscle for one summer. If true, you know Tom is salivating over this kids work ethic. I kinda am too.

Well, he is a zombie. All that weight gain is probably a result of feasting on human flesh.

Um, 20 pounds of muscle is pretty insane. I really doubt that.

18, 20 lbs in 4 months is nothing for the right anti-aging clinic.

20 lbs in 3+ months isn't outrageous. Snell had probably never done any significant weight training before.

Proper lifting and caloric intake, I can see it.

I could find no mention of Snell on Swirksy twitter, but he did mention Taj put on 20lbs

I think alot of these are exaggerations to be honest, and is it all muscle? Fat, water weight? Much of it will be lost when the full grind of a season starts.

Wow! He really did get jacked up. Gives me a new appreciation for the NBAPA's stance against HGH testing.

thats way too much muscle to gain in one summer imo. at least if we are talking functional muscle anyway. I think the guy is just eating more and maybe is retaining more water weight.

That's likely what it is. 6 pounds of muscle, per month, in 3 calendar months, sorry but calling bs on that.

If you lift heavy and stay consistent with your nutrition, it's definitely possible. I'll trust it given he's working with NBA trainers who've been around the block a few times.
