I actually remember when he debuted as I heard a whisper he was a goer and traded him into my Supercoach team.
Still pretty skinny after his first pre-season with the Dockers, he took one of his trademark pack marks for his very first AFL goal. As hard as he tries to, there's still not much to actually flex at this time!!
It was probably his third year that I started to notice his body changing rather dramatically, relative to his previous body, which was wiry and thin.
The bulk he put on through his hips and upper legs was extraordinary, as evident below:
If you're a budding footballer and you're looking to bulk up in the off season, this is what you should focus on. Instead of having 3 upper body days, do 3 lower body days.
You'll get faster, increase endurance, increase injury resistance ad be able to handle physical pressure in close quarters during a game.
It also shows that if you really knuckle down for 2 - 3 off season's then you can really make all the muscle gains you need. You don't want to be heavy that you can't cover ground like you normally do but you don't want to be so light that you can't compete in 1on1 contests and be pushed off the ball easily.
