Aldridge's physical development

"Over the past six seasons, Aldridge has added a staggering 41 pounds of muscle to his frame, transforming a 234-pound string bean as a rookie into what teammates and opponents say is now an immovable object."

Talks about his physical development & how much it changed his game. Started working with a strength & conditioning coach (who used eastern bloc training methods) in '09 after getting ed by Artest, started getting bigger & stronger which greatly helped out his game. I'd heard about him being "soft" in the past, never knew he underwent this sort of transformation to get away from that though.

He's still listed near his rookie weight of 240 but he's up in the mid 270's.

cntrl F "eastern block training methods" no results

Cntrl F "plyometrics" no results found

heres the relevant quote tbh:

"He hired a trainer and began a weight-lifting regiment. Two times a day. Sometimes three. He pushed tires. Did squats. Lifted heavy weights. Every type of hard workout there was, Aldridge said, he did it."

I guess "every type of hard workout" could include eastern bloc. Or you know just weights.

Everything these strength & conditioning coaches know is based off of eastern bloc training methods which is basically modern sports science, they then tailor workouts for their athletes based on the sport they play, proper nutrition goes a long way as well.

We've been through this before. At some point just drop the shtick and call it working out. No one calls it eastern bloc.

He was shooting OVER Dwight/Asik, he actually got manhandled by Dwight on the other end esp. in Gm 3 of the 2014 playoffs. LMA is great at using his length to snatch offensive rebounds, poke the ball/bother shots & of course shoot over defenders
