Only a few days left before the NBA resumes. A return to the regular season which will allow us to see Victor Wembanyama again with the Spurs. The Frenchman will also be somewhat transformed. In fact, he revealed that he gained muscle mass during the offseason. Not enough to endanger Wembanyama at the moment, but be careful if this happens again in the future…
It is a more massive Victor Wembanyama that we will have the opportunity to see again with the Spurs for his second season in the NBA. Indeed, the Frenchman took advantage of the offseason to gain muscle. These are 11kg which would have been taken by The animalthus going from 95 to 106kg. A weight gain that inevitably provokes a reaction.

“11kg is not a problem. But… “
Former physiotherapist Victor Wembanyama, Pierre-Yves Couve reacted to RMC to this muscle mass gain from crack San Antonio Spurs. He then issued a warning to the Frenchman about this, explaining: “ 11kg, it’s not annoying. But if you put 15kg back on him next year, I’ll be a little more worried. Because after a while, there will inevitably be bad fat, not just muscle ».
“Muscle mass is lean mass, so it is not fat mass”
Manuel Lacroixcurrent physical trainer of theFrench team basketball, told him about this new weight of Victor Wembanyama : « Being heavier will allow him to oppose a greater body mass and weight in ground duels with all these players who are currently heavier than him and who regularly try, like Nikola Jokic, to push him down and come and hit him. Victor will now have a greater muscle mass to oppose to this, therefore greater resistance. Muscle mass is lean mass, so it is not fat mass. Which makes him stronger. By gaining this muscle mass, in addition to opposing a greater weight, it will oppose a greater force. He is stronger than before. It is therefore a very interesting progression for all the contacts and the duels on the ground ».
