Bonner does.
By the way the roster looks, it doesn't seem like any of the players are pushing weights around in the weight room.

Amazing thread
They use paper weights.
Actually, a lot of players do not like to get bulked up as it messes with their shot and can make them stiff on the court.
d.blair/g.hill
They use the weight room, they use a speed ladder, they use John Lucas Hill, they use Nutrifit supplements, they do basketball drills. What type of appearance do you want from a professional basketball player? If you want them all to look like Dwight Howard, then they may end up shooting like Dwight Howard.Why don't spurs players use the weight room
Look at Kevin Durant. You dont need to look like a body builder to be a good bball player. Raw muscle mass actually does llittle for sports.
Shaq would have fit right in
Muscle doesn't mean SUCCESS in sports, specifically in bball. Resistance training is a must, but not a warranty. Bruce Lee had one of the most powerful body, without bulky muscle, he had just lean sculpt body.
Just see my boy o Trinidad, he is one of the most devastating power puncher in the history of boxing, compared to Ray Robinsons punching power, and o's is skinny like . His arms are like thin fideos.
In the other hand, i think strong shoulders are required to surpass the test of time. Too much collisions, contacts, and abrupt movement can damage shoulders quickly in bball, especially post players, and slashers.
Timmy is and will be the best PF ever and he hasn't barely 15% of DHoward, Malone, D.Robinson muscles
If all they did was a lot of pushing, they would probably come out looking pretty unbalanced. I'd recommend some pulling also.
I have actually seen thier weight room I can say, with certainty, they use it. They are actually quite detailed in which muscles & what exercises they do from day-to-day.
So, the answer to your question is that they do use use it.
Think before you post, please.
, another great thread for the summer of 2010..
lebron has a good shot though.
A better question would be why don't the Spurs use the free throw lines?
Matt Bonner does.
I remember JVG putting it best..."theres a difference between weight lifting strength and functional strength"
You want guys with great functional strength....look at Tim, he in no way looks like a body builder but do you ever see him get backed down? Rarely. And Tony...it takes strength to finish the way he does and on bigs like he does...but he aint winning no bench press contests
If they trained for hypertrophy they would probably be way too sore to perform at a decent level on the court during the actual season.
It'd be cool to know their workout program though and how they tie in weight lifting. With all the cardio they do I'd be interested in seeing how they work it all out to also try and gain a lot of muscle.
He's certainly a freak of a physical specimen. Even when he was still a teen, he had the natural physique of a more mature man. Here is a workout for LeBron posted in Men's Health. It has a lot of dumb bell exercises in the workout regimen.

great point my friend
Tim, Tony, Manu have obviously crippled their careers by not carrying another 20 - 30 pounds of muscle.
Thats a workout some dumbass Men's health writer created,not a workout that Lebron actually does. I'm 100% sure he has more functional exercises in his workout, although he obviously also uses dumbbells etc.
aka crab dribble workout
