Victor Wembanyama's INSANE Diet And Workout Routine

[@clav93089]

Training for injury prevention is the best thing he can do considering the long history of NBA big men with chronic lower body injuries. The coordination training is something else though! Most big guys get away with simply using their size to create impact while the greats add some skills as well. But not usually the type of ball handling and coordination skills that you might expect from a PG! Victor is truly a unicorn/alien!

[@nuclearwinter391]

It's all there, but his ligaments have to hold. And that would be a true miracle at his size

@@lucasyeah7974 there's a reason you don't see many athletic NBA players over 7'4. Some can adapt and play for some years, but not with athletic and smooth moves like Wemby. That would be a first in history. Apparently we're maxed out as humans at 7'1 or 7'2 when it comes to athleticism.

[@C0UGHEE]

It feels like no one in this comment section actually watched the video. Hes doing all of these things to prevent the problems that plagued all the big men of the past, none of them did any of these things he's doing to prevent injury. And the fact hes building muscle slower and more deliberately means his actual strength is probably greater than it seems. And as far as his weight goes, he doesn't need it because he has the height and length to create leverage on defense and the footwork and speed to create space and get around defenders on offense.

[@Jukeboxster]

people are still justifiably concerned about his longevity. All we have to go on is past careers. We're in uncharted territory with him, I hope his body holds up but I'll have to see it to believe it.

[@RJCE420]

Wemby knows the clock is ticking, so he made probably the smartest decision of his NBA career buy getting out ahead of it, to mitigate any future wear and tear. Not to mention the Spurs are about to open a new $510 million dollar practice facility, so that combined with wembys strict regimen, I do believe he can have a longer NBA career than people are willing to admit. "Everybody’s been a unicorn over the last few years, but he’s more like an alien.

Yeah, he already has been filling out and that will continue I think. He will never be Shaq or even Giannis in physique, but he could be a taller David Robinson with way better handles and an outside shot...maybe another ten or fifteen pounds will be his NBA weight until he gets into his thirties and starts naturally bulking up some more.

He will need a ton of calories to keep and sustain muscles. I’m 7’2” and played in college and oversees. Retired 20 years ago and today I’m burning around 3300 sitting in an office. I was eating nonstop in college just to go from 220 to 260. I hope he stays healthy in his career, I love to see him play for a long time.

[@StocktonMush]

Stupid question but what would you say are the odds of him having some chronic pain issues plaguing his career from just being too tall?

[@Rolfvanrijn72]

@@StocktonMush most likely he will have some issues, maybe at an earlier age than the average person. If he can stay injury free that will help in the long run. With the medical professionals & personal trainers & nutritionists the NBA teams provide, that will go a long way in staying healthy. Once you hit 40 things will start hurting and recovery takes a lot longer. That’s with everyone I think not just athletes

[@Kermit_T_Frog]

A guy as lean as he is is going to burn a lot of calories. If his playing weight ends up at 260 lbs, I wager he has injury problems. Not unless he gets there slowly, over time, as he matures. In short, NATURALLY. There is NOTHING dumber that a basketball player training like a body builder.

[@hplaserjet5902]

Come out if retirement the Lakers need a center!!

[@emancify]

What he does with his toes builds the strength/muscles in his feet. This will hopefully prevent the Yao Ming, Bill Walton, etc.. type injuries. This is what I consider to be the smartest exercise, as no one else is doing it... for any reason.

[@SteveBalbonisHammer]

I think his strength is already there. He will get stronger as he plays but he is probably better off staying on the lighter side to preserve his ankles and knees.

[@hesido]

Maybe it takes an army of people to get him above everybody else, but it's too calculated and I feel it is a bit "dystopian" to put that much pressure on someone to make them a star.

While people compared it to giannis and KD, let the records show that both inky got success after gaining muscle and heft ( Milwaukee and Oklahoma). However best comment ive read is that Kareem had this body type, and had longevity due to non lifting regiments ie yoga. Made me hopeful. Hopefully it goes well for him

[@lemini4k]

He has plenty of time to put muscle on before the season starts!

[@jas_bataille]

Victor's problem right now is that he isn't listening to what the NBA said!!! They did not stated "Devon, you're the 1st pick already, go on and rest" for nothing. He refused to do that, and here's the problem : despite his incredible transformation, is metabolism is quite simply *too fast* to put on enough mass to endure the NBA without a high risk of injury. Had he listened to them and go rest for a few months, he would have been able to bulk by reducing how many calories he burns. I understand his commitment to the French team, but I'm also certain his teammates would totally get that. He gotta slow down on the matches if he wants to pack up enough. He is still way too skinny for that. Yes - I understand building muscle slowly, and that's the right way for most people. But *not* when you're going to get drafted 1st in the NBA by next year and you still have an unhealthy too low fat percentage and simply not enough weight! I get it, I did a bulk from 140 to 160 pounds myself, it wasn't easy, but I now feel a lot healthier. I think any coach worth their salt would say, this man, in this situation, should 100% go off-season before the NBA and bulk!

Being big enough to survive in the NBA is pretty much obsolete. I mean, Larry Bird for example and many others weren’t that big or what so ever. Even MJ was pretty narrow in his rookie season. If you ‘re fast and playing smart enough you don’t need to force to create those extra weight or muscles. With the right exercises you will gain the right posture naturally. Especially with some calisthenics. And it is most balans that comes in to play.

[@carlosfernandez3377]

I hope he lasts but he looks too frail, His feet specifically. I remember having my heart broken with Yao Ming.

[@Sqeaky6969]

Yao is a weird case he was basically created by the Chinese government his parents were forced together as they were two Chinese Olympic athletes to compete with the USA Olympic team. From a very early age in his life he was given what he called "milkshakes" and was never told what was in them, so it's very likely they were just chock full of hgh steroids and who knows what else to help him grow, it's my theory thay he would've been over 7ft but all the possible hormones he took caused him to grow to an unnatural height which could've been why he suffered so many injuries along with just being tall

[@tribalypredisposed]

Yao Ming was 310lbs, Wemby is variously listed at 210, 216, 220, 230. It is the weight that messes up the feet of big men, not the height so much. Yes, having longer feet may be a part of it, but eighty more pounds or more means there is no comparing Yao Ming to Wemby. Also, Wemby does not have to fight for position on the blocks, he can shoot from three and can shoot over everyone in front of him, so he can pull up from 21', or stop and pop at 12', or drive and dunk if he wants; he does not need to get fed the ball just outside the lane and pretend he is Hakeem the Dream.
