Tisdale's 6000 Cal Diet

Weber said Tisdale still needs to gain "about 20 (pounds) at least," especially in his legs to gain more explosion for blocking and dunking and to be able to hold his ground against stronger defenders.

"The weight he's put on, which I'm not sure if you could see it really, but it's been more upper body," Weber said. "But if you watched him last year, he's so long. He doesn't have a low center of gravity. His legs got to get stronger. He's got to get a better base."
