The annual "15 pounds of muscle" watch

15lbs of muscle is a lot in that time frame. He must be dumping lots of whey in that Primo.

The article only said "15 pounds heavier." Thread title is misleading.

You are absolutely right though. Nobody adds 15 pounds of muscle unless they are 'roiding it huge. In fact I would find it hard to credit a bodybuilder with adding 15 pounds of muscle between the end of the season and now.

Last year he looked like he struggled in the post up, and to me it looked like he just didnt have the power in his legs to move the bigger guys. Working your legs hard is an easy way to put on some muscle mass without sacrificing speed and agility. To me his upper body looks marginally larger and I personally dont want to inspect under his shorts.

Another 15 pounds on Andrea is not something I want to hear unless it is accompanied by his speed and agility have also increased or he lost 20 pounds of fat.

“I’m really happy that he’s come into camp in great shape, 15 pounds heavier, stronger but he’s playing at that high level that we saw last year,” Casey said.

As long as it's not 15 pounds of fat (which it doesn't sound like according to Casey), I'm okay with it. We all keep saying that Andrea is soft anyways, so maybe he's gotten a lot stronger and will actually use that new strength in his game. We'll see come the season-opener or even the pre-season.

Hopefully that is the weight of the new chip on his shoulder he needs to bring to play at a higher level !
