durant cant bench press 180

[ALVAREZ6]

and how does creatine affect your metabolism? it's a cell volumizer that keeps your atp/adp ratio high... it's even used in some forms of physical therapy. people who bulk up have to eat to get that big and when they quick working out, they steal have the same appe e... thus they get fat... has nothing to do with metabolism... ref: see me

I'm not so sure about the same appe e thing, that simply may be your case.

For example, I try to eat a load, and I say try as in force feed myself...I'll eat more than I want to every night to get similar effects. I'm able to eat a lot simply from all the energy I use up lifting weights. On days that I lift weights I can eat a of a lot more. I still can't gain in weight though, if I continue doing this through college I'd probably get fat. One day my metabolism will diminish and it's bound to happen. I'll just have to eat less when that happens.

How many here are actively lifting?

i just started again after a few years off... too many injuries...

heheh... when i was lifting I used to eat close to 4000 calories a day (when i was bulking) and 3000 during maintenance phases... when i suffered all my injuries and couldn't lift any more... i still had that crazy appe e and blew up <-- is what I looked like... took mass calorie cutting to get it off.

I at least do curls everyday. I dont really bench anymore though, to hard on my back

Oh I defnintely eat 4000 a day, well, maybe on days that I lift for sure. I'm not lifting as much at the moment, but it will pick up in about a week. My lunch was at least 1500 calories.


How much did you weigh at the time when you were bulking?

[timvp]

there was a time when he couldn't, but i'd guess he is around 225-245...just a guess.

No way in . I've watched Duncan bench and he struggles doing much on a machine bench press.

Unless you're Danny Fortson or Charles Oakley, all bench pressing does for basketball players is make them shoot worse.

My jumper got really good after starting to bench. I'm automatic from 3-point range.


And don't be fooled, a lot of machine presses are harder than a free bar, they're a .

sheeeit my man jgw can break durant's neck after a night of coke binging, threesomes, and vomiting after eating binges with marisa miller and lindsay lohan, waking up for anorexia therapy after a sleepless night, then beating tony parker in 10 consecutive foot races.

People have posted a few pictures of Tim Duncan shirtless at practice before...it didn't look like he could bench any more than a 100 lbs.

How tall are you? If you're like 5'6 to 5'8 bench press doesn't have much effect because your arms are short. Thus your jumper wouldn't effected.

You must use some broke down machines.

No, I don't use them at all, maybe that's why. But I'm not foolin you, machines can be tougher for people who use bars because you have to start already in the down position which is much harder. I can max way more on a free olympic bar than a machine press.

He doesnt have a chest. That + long arms = doom on the bench

his wife has a chest he does not

Yup.


I don't think him being a big bencher would change his game much, his shots are more finesse now than they are back you down and slam it in your face. His jumping wouldn't be affected either. Sometimes having lanky arms helps for getting those calls, Tim can make himself look really weak when he gets fouled and he draws them by flalling his arms everywhere as they come up. If he had Ben Wallace arms, he wouldn't be affected or it would take very good acting.

But back to the subject, bench press has about as much to do with basketball success as what each player's favorite color is.

Here's a trivia question: Which former or current Spur holds the all-time team record for max bench press?

[Kobulingam]

did not do one rep higher than 180...thats pretty weak...i dont care how good u are...i kno some middle school kids who can bench that at least once

What???

I think thats probably because of a lack in technique, experience. I know some skinny people who can bench over 200 and they aren't athletic enough to make it to NBA like Durant.

I don't go back too far so I don't know.

Tim has that swimmer muscle, very deceptive strength

I would guess Avery Johnson

Negative.

Hint = He was on at least one championship Spurs team.

Well once you're established as a great player, you're right, it won't change your game much. But if you get big early and develop a lot of body strength, it will do nothing but help. LeBron, Wade, Kobe, Vince Carter, Carmelo...without their size and strength, they're definitely not the same players.

WEll I'd imagine D Rob but that would be too obvious.

Nice job

I forgot the exact amount he benched but it was something ungodly for his size like 450-475.

That's sick.


Ungodly for his size and his voice.



BTW, how much does he weigh?
