20-30 pounds over the summer

I am seeing this a lot for many Vol players, and I imagine it is fairly common throughout the bigger schools.

How in the world do they a) put on that much weight and b) get away with it if it isn't simply eating a crap ton of food?

When I was younger, I weighed myself, ate a Whopper and seemed to have lost a pound while eating. I still struggle putting on muscle, and it simply amazes me.

 

Don't ask. Don't tell.

 

A lot don't weigh as much as their recruiting profiles say for starters.

 

I am sure that is the whole deal, but it amazes me still.

 

Let's just say that it's similar to what Bama has been doing since Saban has been there. I just can't believe Volquest is stupid enough to publicize the irregular weight gain.

 

Some Tom Osborne type ish? Is this something that happens everywhere?

 

It happens in DII baseball around the nation.

 

Bama and Auburn are the only SEC schools were its obvious to the naked eye. The S&C coach that Kiffin initially brought in was well known for doing that at South Carolina.

 

Creatine

 

I think you mean creatine.

 

Yep thanks

 

I'm sure that this (along with other things) is a standard of Tennessee Strength and Conditioning.

 

Sounds like a lot of Taco Bell. Tennessee watches out for its players.

 

Might be breaking rules, but legal supplements make weight gain pretty easy, especially if rapid muscle gain genetically comes naturally, which it does for most of these guys.

 

Where can I get some of these genes?

 

I'll plant you some.

 

"most of these guys" have been in lifting programs for many years now. What legal supplements can rapidly put weight on guys with this lifting background this quickly?

 

I didn't realize people still used Creatine.

 

I hadn't heard of or even thought about this but it makes a lot of sense.

 

Yeah its still in use.
