Anthony Bennett is Becoming a Physical Beast from Training 

Post#1 » by Domejandro » Sun Sep 7, 2014 2:16 am

Hey, it is Alejandro. Here is another quick bit on how Chameleon Training is working for our Timberwolves. I saw the picture posted on Rube Chat( :lol: Top notch sources), and I am absolutely amazed by the results.

Anthony Bennett Gaining Shabazz-like Results from Chameleon Training.
Image
Anthony Bennet poses after undergoing the rigorous "Chameleon Training".

With Timberwolves' Shooting Guard, Shabazz Muhhammad getting surprising results from Frank Matrisciano's "Chameleon Training", Anthony Bennett was shipped along to meet his new teammate, per request of Flip Saunders, to attempt to recreate Muhammad's accomplishments. The results have shown to be wildly successful. Within four days, Anthony Bennett has proven that he will be able to effectively shed all of his excess body fat, and be able to physically rise to levels beyond what he could have ever imagined. With a consistent work ethic, Shabazz and Bennett may be able to prove that they are far from a fluke. Frank Matrisciano may be able to change not only their careers, but also the lives of these young players.

In the words of KG, "We're Comin''


For a link to how Shabazz looks, go here.
[Do not worry Mods, it is linked to RealGM boards this time. I read the rules this time, haha.]

Good to see. Now we need to transfer some of Bennett's weight to Rubio and Wiggins.

I'm no doctor, but I'm 99% sure that this just isn't possible. Over a 4 day period, I would expect that the vast majority of lost weight is water weight.

assuming the picture is legit, he was in far better shape than anyone knew before going there.
*edit* agree the claim he lost all his excess weight is bogus also

Whoops, a bit of a misprint. I typed that inferring water weight, but did not consider how that would read. I will fix that.

As for the legitimacy of the pictures, as questioned above, they are Instagram photos that have been cropped to meet the correct size for my article. If you go to the page (linked underneath the photo), you will see I have not tampered with them in any way.

Changed the phrasing to water weight for now, but I will find a way to become more specific.

He has been shedding the pounds since the end of the season. He looked good in Summer League and will be in great shape for the season.

Losing water weight is also known as dehydrating.

:lol: God damn it, I couldn't figure out how to get that sentence right. I think it makes sense now. It sounds really long winded, but now it is accurate.

Call me crazy, but he stills looks out of shape to me.

Yeah he looks like he is starting to get more cut but he could put on a lot more muscle. Somewhat promising, he looks like he could be a very strong and physical player like randolph in a few years.

There is room to develop, but I suspect he will always have somewhat of Carmelo or Kyle Lowry body. Some dudes had bit of extra padding even add there version of super fit.

Yeah, but he lacks muscle as well as having extra fat. His pectoralis major needs more work judging by this picture.

Think the Wolves will be pleasantly surprised with Bennett he likely shouldn't have been #1 pick but he will definitely be top 5 in that draft. If he keeps a work ethic you might not miss Loves scoring and I think Wiggins will push him. On Wiggins both PG & KD aren't physical beasts physically.

Still has training camp and the 82 games to run up and down the court. He will def lose more fat.

All eyes will be on Wiggins which should give Bennett some breathing room this season to work on his game and his body. I'm guessing he will be much improved.

He could be leaner. It'd help get the lateral and vertical quickness he needs to be competitive as an undersized 4.
