He'll cut down easily come training camp. To properly build muscle you have to be in a caloric surplus which means you're going to put on some fat.

Good point we need to be worried what kind of mental state he is in for next year. Was this a one time thing or a larger concern. Convenient that we can't see all of his fingers. What is he hiding?

Looks fine to me for the off season.

It's not like JV is a naturally ripped guy. He was always going to turn into a thicker guy as his body matured.

For X weeks you eat at a big caloric excess (like +15% more than you need to maintain weight) and you lift like crazy - this is when your biggest strength gains are made.

Then for X weeks you eat at like a 15% caloric deficit and you continue to lift so you don't lose much muscle, but cut a lot of fat - you don't get stronger during this phase.

It's not pretty (see above), but it's very effective and efficient.

It's effective if you're training for looks.

That said, I don't much care for a little belly fat as long as you train for strength and cardio. A lot of heavyweight wrestlers have higher BF% than you would expect for an elite athlete, but they are some of the strongest and highest endurance people on the planet.

The training staff will go crazy getting him into shape for the season, so I'm not worried. But in that pic he's flexing everything, including his abs (look how his bottom ribs are protruding while his stomach is sucked in), so it doesn't accurately represent his stomach. I do this all the time when I try to see what I'd look like without a gut.

It all looks good up top but I really only care about how much he can squat. Stick that ass into defenders when he is sealing them off.

He should squat with KLow, dude has a big caboose.

Beast mode incoming! His half smug/half off-kilter Ron Burgundy mugs are hilarious too.

He'll be in shape while he's representing his country in Spain. FIBA is very important to him and his countrymen. He'll be in better shape than guys who aren't playing summer league/representing their countries (read: Hansbrough, Hayes, Fields, etc.). There's no need to worry about Jonas. He's got this.

He looks like Marc Gasol.

both marc and pau have pretty unathletic bodies for professional athletes… in fact, they look like average joe bodies… weird.

Ain't nothing worse than seeing Crossfit training.

Lol, crossfit is the worst form of exercise along with doing bench press and curls. The people doing the crossfit is even worse..

Hey what's wrong with crossfit? I actually don't know and would like to know
