just a question, how the heck does someone play footy with stress fractures in his back?
does he still have stress fractures, or did he have them and has rcovered?
if his back has recovered, there is no reason why he cannot train with weights to put on muscle mass, if they say he cant gain weight due to stress fractures they are fos. if he had them, he would not be playing a collision sport such as afl.
now assuming his back is fine now, then he is right to tarin hard wih weights
butthey dont want him too, theywant him to stay as he is because he is not a body on body full back, he is a defeder that uses his closing speed, great reach and timing to spoil and defend. they fear if he baulks up he will lose his agility and speed , thus their is no point in him getting massive as power feds are a dying breed.
good footy players are smart footy players.
we have seen joel bowden own j brown a few times, now brown is much stronger and biggerbut joel knew how to play him and has done it well
we need bigger bodies in the guts, in the midfeild. guys who wont be pushed over and brushed aside so easily
