[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1597326, member: 2886"] They're all athletic freaks; that's the price of entry to D-1 ball, particularly as a starter or one of the first several off the bench. The dirty secret of college S&C programs is that it really doesn't matter what you do with an 18-22-year-old having that sort of genetic potential. Over that window of age they're all going to grow and improve along every physical dimension no matter whether you have them deadlifting 600 lbs or bodyweight balancing on Bosu balls. Strength and stamina isn't immediately obvious externally. You'll look cut if you're genetically so predisposed. And if you are predisposed to carry some baby fat then you'll look doughy even if you're brutally strong. I have no doubt that Garza and Dickinson are in top shape. Getting strong and adding muscle necessarily means adding some fat. Can't have one without the other. And can't lose fat without losing muscle. [/QUOTE]
