Its looking like Chet Holmgren has 15 pounds of muscle this off season

[eyeatoma]

Beard implant is obvious, very common amongst NBA players nowadays... Zion had one as well.

I've got a thick beard that pattern looks pretty natural. Any proof he had this done. Also who else do you think is doing this?

Ahhh... since we are technically still in offseason, these kinds of threads are being hurriedly put together before the deadline huh?

[KingFox]

It’s ALWAYS 15 pounds this kid is special though. OKC is sick

[lethalizer]

I don't really care how much he adds tbh, my main concern about him is conditioning and durability.

Yeah he played 90+ games last season but he was exhausted by the time the season was coming to a close. He needs to learn to load manage a bit, and save his strength towards the end of the season.

He'll grow naturally, man is still 22 years old.

15 lbs of muscle is 7 pounds of water, 4 lbs of fat, and 4 lbs of muscle

Nobody is adding 4 pounds of muscle in the off season...stop it!

[dhsilv2]

looks like he got some GREAT lighting there, but yeah hard to say...you can't even see his legs in these photos...you know the part that maters. But yeah, his arms are more pumped. Maybe added .25 pounds to his upper body. That's awesome btw.

He's low key having a glow up..

He reminds me of Eminem

IMO, he is the first alive person I have ever seen, who does seem a little bit like Abe Lincoln. I have seen comments saying that Abe has very weird look and no one looks like that, and yeah, thats true. Chet kinda looks like him though, give Chet bushier beard and hes Abe.

I've never heard that about Lincoln. He doesn't seem unusual looking to me.. just skinny..

[AussieBuck]

Came in expecting the ingram type pics where he looks the same. Does legit look less stick like here.

[naabzor]

Looks the same to me, a little more ripped maybe. Still a long stick.

[D.Brasco]

Has that 1864 Lincoln physique.

I mean, I think it's just a matter of comparing pictures of those guys year by year.

Just check Chet's lack of beard when he was at Gonzaga (which was not so long ago). He barely had facial hair in the chin area. Now he has a full, complete line, it seems almost comical to me.

Zion last year barely had facial hair in the mustache and chin area, now he has a complete, full line, even on the cheeks area, which is the most difficult one.

I think Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell also had beard implants as well. See Davis around his 1st year with the Lakers, and before with the Pelicans.

I think Porzingis also had some work done as well, barely had any facial hair and then last season had a full goatee out of a sudden. I'm quite sure Neymar did it too (outside of the NBA).

Not sure about any other players, I'd have to check it out.

Beard filling in happens for most men in their early 20's...this isn't unusual.

[shrink]

.. only 50 more to go!

[Slimjimzv]

FFS, he's 22. I didn't reach my max weight until I was 40.

I'm 51 and still growing.

[MrGoat]

So he's up to 115 pounds now?

[Bandwagon2019]

Sources have said it’s because he tried one weird trick

[LeBronSpaghetti]

Looks basically the same to me. But 15lbs on a 7’1’’ frame is like 5-7 lbs on a normal person lol. In other words it’s not that much. Basically a bit of muscle, bit of fat, and a big breakfast.

This I can grow a massive beard, and didn't get full coverage till my mid to late 20s.

Most of these guys start in the NBA about 19 years old. I could only grow on my chin and at most a little goatee by then. At 41, I have a full beard, and reached my full potential around 30.

Where did this "15 pounds of muscle" meme come from? And why exactly 15 pounds?
