Squirmin' for Yermin Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Burger either worked out his upper half during his time off or ate a lot of pizza... The back angle makes it harder to tell hahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 hard to believe a guy with two torn achilles' will ever make it back even for a cup of coffee in MLB. it's also hard to believe a guy that would benefit immensely from slimming down decided to bulk up again this offseason. Is he training for the NFL? Just awful. He needed to drop into the 10% body fat range and instead he looks bulked up around 20%. Without the injury history who cares but putting an extra 30lbs of weight on his leg is just foolish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I know the Billy Butler comparison was a joke, but he was actually pretty good for a couple years. I'd certain take that kind of production from Burger at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's got some high level trainers around him but IMO it's foolish to keep playing at this weight given his injury history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Jabari Parker who some think is a butterball. jabari has been out of shape since he was at simeon. He IS a butterball, for a pro athlete at least. He came into camp 20lbs overweight after signing a 20 million dollar deal. come on. and it's not genetics it's being at 20% body fat and loving to bulk up too much. I've been there myself. It's not good for your joints. great for showing off on the squat rack and bench. not so great for functional baseball athleticism.

Flexibility does. Doing heavy lifting at 80% 1 rep max is crucial to thicken and strengthen tendons. He should be doing that for ankle work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
