Tyson Chandler skips leg day.

You'd have a point if it weren't for the fact he put on mass in his upper body, he's clearly capable of putting on mass though. There's no excuse for his legs looking like that

Not all your limbs are proportional. He may have a short torso, and long legs.

I'm sure he could put on more than he has, but I'm not sure it would be at his benefit. He and his trainer obviously feel this keeps him as mobile as he needs to be, while also not hindering his strength.

Inb4 plowking says he does heavy squats/deads

If you'd like I could upload videos of me deadlifting 450+lbs.
Some progress pics as well? Are you that in love with me?

Looks shopped to me. You can see she is leaning against his hip/quad and it's too big to taper into his knees that sharply.

Not sure... Them quads look the same, tho. Figure he loses some mass in the offseason and that he's clearly in a flexing stance.

I know this, I'm 6'1" with a 6'8" wingspan, still hasn't stopped me from tacking on mass. Are my biceps as big as I'd like, nah, but you put in the work and you'll get results. He's got legs like a marathon runner, I doubt he does any real lower body work.

that cant be real

I doubt the trainer would completely skip his legs. Hes got some of the best professionals in the world working with him.
I'm guessing he does more power exercises that won't necessarily increase the mass, but more explosive fibers in his muscles.

They look skinny there. His calves look a little bigger but his quads look tiny lol.

I was referring to Tyson, dont flatter yourself.

There is absolutely no way Tyson does any kind of heavy deadlifting/squatting just like most nba players.

Why bother bringing this up when I've shown you a video of Chris Paul doing 5 rep heavy sets of compound lifts? Another poster showing you a training regime of the Kansas (I think) college team, which included 3-6 rep heavy movements?
Along with videos of Hibbert doing a 3 rep deadlift.

There's no way this can be real. I know you lose muscle when you don't work out for a while, but this is ridiculous...

And I thought I had chicken legs.

This dudes calves are wider than his quads.. wtf.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Thick ass chick.

Thank you.

Someone else checking out the chick, instead of Chandler's pencil thin disgusting thighs.

That chick is a cutie, sexy frame too.

is athletes even allowed to skip a legs day? Do people honestly believe that the team would be like hey tyson you dont want to train legs? thats okay you can have the day off?

its not that have u seen basketball players work out probably some leg extensions etc never heavy squats

[plowking]

You call what Hibbert did a deadlift? Your definition of a deadlift must be different from mine. That was a rack pull bro.

Chris Paul does heavy deadlifts/ATG squats? Show me, havn't seen that.

No NBA basketball players are doing heavy deadlifts/ATG squats and this pic further proves my point.

It was a 5 rep, bench press. Compound movement, and heavy. You said NBA players don't lift heavy.

Its a deadlift, and even with his range of motion limited, it'd be longer than both mine and yours range of motion. Once again, it was a heavy movement for 3 or so reps. Which you said, NBA players don't do.

There you go. Paul lifting heavy for 5.

Hibbert deadlifting at around 14:00. Can't believe you're actually complaining about range of motion for a 7'3 guy.
Then going straight into heavy dumbbell press for 5. Once again going heavy.
