Well, bulking up is not easy process, and no matter on what diet you're - you will gain fat. I'm pretty sure his Body fat % became bigger than Raps trainers want.
I really would like to hear what Casey is thinking about JV's weight. If he's really required to loose weight because of his body fat %, that means his gotta take slower in bulking up process ( and add more semi intesity cardio exercises ).
Some guys just can't take new body fat easily, as they get winded faster. <<< This especially happens to the guys who have athlete's body fat %.Last edited by rocwell; Fri Oct 18, 2013, 08:53 PM.

One thing Casey said in one interview this preseason was that he doesn't think JOnas doesn't need to focus on gaining weight anymore. That he will naturally get a bit bigger with age and that should be fine going forward. I think that sounds about right. I don't think he'll ever need to spend another summer where that's his major focus.

If they want him to regain his quickness - then it's all about body fat. ( average BF%[20-24] people don't really feel any change in their breathing after bulking up [unless they don't cut], but for the guys with 5%-14% body fat - bulking up is worst process as you will feel like shit and unhealthy.
Assuming JV's body fat is perfect, then he'll have to stop protein intake and "burn" his muscles. That would be stupid thing to do, right. It's all about body fat. At least his wife can get excited - JV will have Blake Griffin's abs.
Everything is good. By cutting fat JV will be quicker and will take longer to get winded.

Tim Leiweke is an amazing speaker. When he speak you listen. And Masai is just full of passion. They're awesome.

On another note....Preseason is way too damn long. We need real games to talk about.

white men can't jump wrote: View PostI just meant that maybe his body fat isn't bad. It could be the tougher issue of trying to get him quicker without wasting away any of his muscle. And that's also going to happen as the season goes on as it tends to for most of these guys, so you definitely don't want to accelerate that part. So yeah, I'm sure everything will work itself out. He could just regain some pop from playing games, so they might not amp up anything for him. It's not like he's terribly slow compared to last year. Just a tiny bit so I'm really not worried....

Preseason is great for the players but oh yeah, I'm missing some real balling. ( I hope Raps ain't thinking about giving me heart attack. It was close in 12/13 season. )
11 days left.

You could just walk up to colangelo and ask him a question. He also had a pretty good pedigree and was promising a new beginning. He also said in a preseason, just as Masai just did, that this season wasn't about wins and losses. We remember how that went. But I'm a sucker. Espn be damned. Bring it on.
