Victor Wembanyama - load management and physical development

[Thomas82]

I'm leaning toward that option, we wasn't even hit on the knee but way below.

They better not sit Wemby too long, or they'll be getting a phone call from Adam Silver.

Pop snuck the phone away from his nurse and sent a message into Mitch that these guys need to get over themselves

Wemby is pretty fragile still. And if it's not a twist....

That's nothing

[spursparker9]

I think there is a silver lining. We can take a longer look at Bassey

[RC_Drunkford]

Mitch said Wemby and Devin wanted to be out there but are day-to-day. Basically means they could play, but the Spurs are being "extra cautious" as usual.

I meant it wasn't knee cap against knee cap bc of the size difference. Look again, maybe the side got hurt but the cap wasn't hit.

If THAT puts him away so long ... smh

I hope for the Spurs and Vic's future that he's fine and it's just part of the soft tanking strategy, especially with ATL not being as bad as hoped

I still can't figure out how so many ST posters have access to the spurs' medical records; did ST have the spurs players fill out some sore of HIPAA medical release form?

Thing is it does not matter where he got hit. If he was hit in the knee cap it is better then to be hit below causing the twist of the knee.

Being hurt in the knee depends on many things and there are 1000 ways to hurt the knee tbh. Knee is dependable on the muscles in the whole leg as well as strength in hips and in feet.

Maybe he feels bit pain in meniscus area so they gave him week off plus he is banged up ....

[Mugen]

Wouldn't be surprised if Wemby is out for another week tbh

[spurraider21]

deep contusions can be pretty painful and immobilizing. with that said its not a long term concern

[Knoxxx]

The last game was fun even without Wemby and getting Castle this kind of minutes is huge, especially in a win.

I want Wemby to play until at least age 40 so we don’t need any nagging injuries like the Duncan fossilized knee popping up early in his career.

We have some real pieces here, for example imagine Sochan on SGA, Castle on Willams, Wemby handling Chet. We have a team in the works still needing a few pieces but assembling the parts to keep the upper hand on OKC when things all come together.

Ok, I'm no a specialist tbh. thx

It's quite worrisome tho, it's the type of contact that will happen regularly so I hope it's just bad luck at a specific area or just Spurs being overly conservative.

[polandprzem]

Deep bruise is not a pretty word in this case tbh.

[Obstructed_View]

So the Spurs are tanking again, right? But we aren't supposed to talk about it or something.

[hater]

Damn Vasselina getting more injury time than Kawhi

[exstatic]

Nope. This game would have been comically easy to give away, and they didn’t. Same with the OKC win.

I guess the outcome of this game is relevant if you think Tre Jones and Charles Bassey are carrying the Spurs to the playoffs.

[polandprzem]

Let's see if or when allergies comes off

[ambchang]

Yea well 30 pds of muscle .... okay


Tbh he should gain more strength in the gym. Those excercises they showed are okay but that abs was weak. bear crawl needs to be done better as the pushups. I think him gaining 20pds first year would be nice

Ok 30 lbs of muscles here. Not mass. Year four and he’s still at 235.

He can stay weak no big deal tbh

If we talk about development there is no better way to gain strength but to lift weights. Nothing around it.

As a big guy it would be nice if he could hold the ball inside or stood the ground fighting for a rebound.

Lift weights. Not bands.

That is so wrong on many levels tbh. You jyst like timvp has no idea how ut works with body development.

Tbqh he is weak inside as I took a look. So it us critical fir him to get stronger. If those exercises they showed are the only one he trains. With all flexability stretch work. They need to find anither coach.
I think in NBA they do know better.

Anyway you di nit separate prigrans to natural and unnatural. They are designed.
In NBA you do have good enhancements but then if your image is pumpin iron kinda sessions... Nope.

To develop strength you do not need juge muscles but they come in handy. And to build muscles it is hard to do when you are basketball player. He would have to go 2 years without basketball to gain muscles and then strength to be satisfying for the nba level as I can see.

Its a shame that at 19 he was not introduced to weights.

Things he needs most are mobility work hypertrophy work then strength going to power abd then speed.

Not also he lacks strength but his knees are bad. Foot butt and legs a must.

20pds by his second season is a must imo. And not much more.

Weights.

And pretty sure I know more about training then Wembanyma

this is too much.

Yea well
Fact is every athlete wants more strength, power, agility, mobility, speed and adequate weight for their frame.
If what they showed he is doing then he is in troubles. I would like to see real regiment and what he is doing other then that I just said what needs to be done by facts and development o a pro athlete.

What he’s doing is bad. But he’s still doing it.

Looks like he is 220pds. Lets see if he gonna be 240 before 24/25 season

Wembanyama tallied those before toiling for months this summer refining his body, packing 25 pounds of muscle onto his physique.


That's Wembanyama's own personal conundrum, too, finding ways to coax the most from his body and skill set. The second-year man gained strength over the summer to prevent opponents from easily pushing him off his spots.
As a by-product, Wembanyama added an additional 25 pounds from his listed rookie weight of 210 pounds.
That has helped Wembanyama to improve accuracy through contact.


I do like those quotesfrom ESPN. Esp. when it is exactly what I was saying a year ago about him making that progress this year

25lbs of muscles.

Wemby gained mass as I said he would. And I will be back in 2 years to back up what I posted previously about him being 250lbs. Probably again to be right.

2 years later he’s still at 235. But you are perfectly right.
