Jabari Ishmael adding size

[RangerGranger]

Hey, most kids are scared to gain weight the way he did.

He has all spring to get comfortable with the weight change. Or, he could dial it back.

 

[RangerGranger]

If he can give us anything like the fella below then we good.

(I compare because both were string-beans in high school. But, both added the necessary weight during the red-shirt year)

 

[COCane4Life]

Still looks like he’s a year and some change away. He ain’t got that grown man muscle weight

 

[CANE1775]

Tough crowd.

 

[Bender]

Some of y'all have never bulked, I can tell.

Glad someone mentioned it. Skinny dudes don’t just lift weights and grow muscles. They have to bulk to gain mass then cut to get leaner.

And some of them have no idea who this kid's daddy is.

Ummm what??? There are millions of examples of skinny guys gaining mass and remaining cut all along the way. You don't have to get fat while putting on a bunch of mass. Given how he has gained weight, I'm wondering if his ability to hit the weights (due to his injury) has not matched is caloric intake. Otherwise, it seems more like genetics to me, and we should consider turning him into a DT.

Yeah, these guys have either 1. elite genetics and/or 2. bulk over a year at a 150-250 calorie surplus.

He will lose 15lbs during fall camp. He will be ok not worried if it’s “bad weight” right now.

We have a a true team watching what these kids eat now along with supplements and Felds team. It worried at all about his weight.

Now can he play football, no clue.

Looks a lot like goldens tenure “gains”

This. Don’t have to grow ****

No. What this dude wrote are some very special cases that don't apply to everyone.

 

[caneinpsl]

So ice cream cookie sandwiches are still available in the meal plan???

 

[HOLISTIC CANE]

Based on some of these comments, I’m interested in knowing how many dudes in this thread played football or any sport in high school where they were good enough to be recruited by colleges to play at the next level.

 

[Cryptical Envelopment]

Glad he said it

 

[emrok]

He looks like Ricardo Williams.

Yeah if you’re talking about gaining 15 lbs over a year’s worth of training. Anyone who wants to put on mass has to bulk. I mean actual mass, not just getting fit.

Considering his father has been a strength coach at UM for a long time, I’d say he probably knows how to gain mass.

No, those are not very special cases. Many, many kids put on huge amounts of mass without getting fat. If you can't, either your diet isn't right, or your genetics don't allow it. That's exactly what I said.
