Oden gains 30lbs of muscle.

[Pugz]

The Oregonian -
A high-ranking Blazers source told Jason Quick on Thursday that Greg Oden still has the same body-fat percentage (7.8 percent) as he did when the Blazers drafted him, yet he has gained nearly 30 pounds, bringing him near 280 pounds.

Translation: That's 30 pounds of muscle that has been attached to his upper-body (he hasn't been able to do any lower body weight training because of his knee surgery).

Oden wasn't able to lift during college because he was recovering from a wrist injury.

I'd say that will help him a lot if he can keep it on.

Well we won't know how it will affect his career cuz he has yet to play...

Well he will also be working out his lower body once his knee is good so thats more muscle.

Hell, maybe they'll steroid test him and an NBA steroid conspiracy will break loose.

What do you mean? Getting upper body strength has nothing to do with his knee....thats why its called upper body. Also he is still going through rehab on his knee and can't work out his lower body much.

Well gaining 30 lbs will put alot of pressure on his knee.
Even McMillan said he's worried if the extra weight is going to effect his knee.

No it won't affect it....its not like he's running around trying to play basketball. Hes working out his upper body because he can't work out his lower body yet, and when he works out his lower body he will be able to add muscle down there and then it will be able to take the weight.

I understand what Greg is saying. His knees were bad enough as it was, now they have to support 30 more pounds.
