    Any Theories as to Brook's weight gain?

    Ok apart from the obvious he's moved up. . . But there are videos with other trainers on the Yoobletooble that he's put on too much too sooon. . . . Sooo, does anyone have any ideas or theories as why what Brook's plan is with all this? Do you think he wants to be able to clinch with GGG? Which would be a mistake either way IMO, Or is he gonna shred that body buildingesque muscle to leave lean muscle on fight night? I dunnooo, What ya'll got?

    the youtube gurus know jack **** about strength and conditioning, i'd trust the sports science team that brook is using at the university more than these guys. As for brooks shape, people make it sound like hes the michelin man at middleweight , is he as ripped as he was at welter no, but hes still in really good shape.

      The fighters and coaches that say Brook is too small and not a natural MW don't know about strength and conditioning? The guys at the university can't perform miracles.

        he is on a program backed by science using cutting edge training techniques to ensure he puts on lean muscle mass whilst retaining the explosiveness and speed that made him such a feared fighter at 147. I saw the exercises on behind the ropes, hes been doing a lot of speed work.

          DO you guys not know that he's been saying for a long time that he fights hard to make 147 and he's not sure how long his body will let him. He's a natural 154, ok?

            He's a much bigger guy than say, khan porter and thurman

            I think he beats all with ease. Sad, I think brook is now at 154 permanent and we will not see him fight thurman

                A simple google search will tell you that you can't to put muscle on while on a calories deficit to lose weight. As i said the university can't perform miracles.

                  It sounds like they believe in Brook's boxing skill, and think that if they're same size as Golovkin or bigger, they can take him.

                  It's also probably awesome for Brook. He's been cutting to 147, now he has a significant amount of weight to play with. He probably feels superhuman due to no cutting and all the extra muscle.

                  Personally, I don't think this is the way to beat Golovkin. But if I'm wrong, Brook's trainer is going to get MAD props.

                    As one of the above posters were saying , hes probably been on this program for a lot longer than people think. He built muscle originally and now hes cutting the fat. THe only other time brook used this science team was when he fought showtime porter, and he was sensational that night.
