correct. He is probably drinking gallons of weight gainer and calling it "gains".

Hey. I’m 6-3 211 currently. I’m carrying a couple extra too. I’m trying to talk myself into giving up sugar and bread and get down to 195.

[gators78]

Oddly enough, when I saw Bryson and Brooks at the US Open here I thought 1) Bryson is much bigger than I expected and 2) Brooks is smaller than I expected.

Pfft. I can do that in a weekend.

[tungstenplug]

In a recent video of him hitting a driver, he said his swing speed was 126. He definitely looks bigger but his swing looks worse. I'm interested to see the results of this little experiment

It’s the custom sleeves Nike makes for Brooks that make his arms appear big on TV.

 

[SugarPenguin]

The blokes a fraud with those claims.

[Ty_Webb]

I'm guessing he was holding that dumbbell when he stepped on the scale...

[RH82]

lol there's no way he's 220 in that video.

I did Keto. It works but it is hard to follow if you leave the office and go out for lunch everyday. I went from like 240 (which scared me) to 210 in about four weeks. I looked better but did not really feel better. Obviously gained a good bit of that back but I stay at 225-230 all the time. The 240 was a spike up for some reason.

[cardoustie]

who would post vids of curling tiny weights like that? My 19 year old daughter can do that and she doesn't even lift ..... bro

 

[Aaronwilson_95]

What a lot of people don’t realize is how hard it is to keep weight on during a season of golf. It’s not crazy to drop 7 -kbs during a tournament week. No matter how good your nutrition and diet is. I would think part of 220 is so he can stay at a goal weight come August on the pga tour.

 

Lifting wise I’m really not sure about what he’s doing though lol

[Soloman1]

 

Bryson isn't small. You can see here that he's pretty strong in his upper torso, and this was taken last year when I worked with him before The Memorial.

His swing was already awkward looking.

> > Definitely not impossible by any means. Lot of water/food/fat weight. Him and I are they same height and if he wants to be 230 then he is nowhere near as intelligent as he thinks he is. I have trained and powerlifted for years and “bulk” into the low 200’s and 12% bf. Walk around 190 and 8-10%bf during the golf season. Guarantee if he actually gets to 230 he will lose it by spring because he won’t get along well with carrying that weight.

> Rest assured he has an equation to calculate whatever weight he is aiming for. Has probably read a dozen papers on the subject. Is probably doing 4.36 reps when deadlifting.

>

 

This is a joke, I am sure. If he was actually *deadlifting some weight for 4.36 reps, I'd say, oh, he's maybe doing this.

 

But, he is doing 4.36 reps of *curls with lady weights and 2 pull-ups.

 

I think he is goofing on BK (and the rest of us ; ) or something.

[Z1ggy16]

This is what people in the lifting world like to call a "dreamer bulk". He's going to gain about 4-5 pounds muscle, 20-30lb fat, then go ah crap I'm fat now! and have to drop 20-30 pounds, which in the process he will probably lose 2-3lb of muscle because he'll have to cut faster. So for all his efforts and time, he'll have gained a whopping 1-2lb of muscle trying to fast bulk in just a few months instead of going low and slow over the course of a few years. But, due to the high demand of being a pro golfer and having to practice and play a ton, he's unlikely to have the time/energy to lift for 2-3 years 3-4 days a week on an extremely consistent basis.

 

According to most standards of FFMI, a value of 24 is basically going to be near or at the genetic limit for almost all natural lifters. At 6 foot 1 195lb, assuming between 12-15% BF, BAD would have an FFMI of between 21 and 22. Even higher than 22 if his BF % is lower. Assuming he kept his body at the same levels, he could realistically get to about 210 if he has great genetics. That would make him in an *elite* physical condition though, which for a pro golfer, is probably not very realistic. To slowly go from 195 ---> 210 pounds without getting fat from dreamer bulking would likely take him many years, not just months. What he is doing is silly and I can't believe his coach/agent would let him do this.

Yep no doubt in my mind that this is an absolute attempt at humor nothing serious going on at all

Does he work with McCormick on the side? Looks like the inside of his bay.

[DFS PFD]

Anyone see his comment that wrist strength is his primary focus? Has to be trolling and doing very well at it.

Just needs some moderation blade!

Yep. For such a smart guy, he knows you can't fool the internet. Not only claiming he gained all that weight, but claiming its all muscle as he hasn't had a BF% change, by curling 15 pounders and struggling to do unweighted pull ups

[MK7Golf21]

yea, has to be a joke, he had a video of him with a 5 pound weight doing curls, lol

[cmb71]

Is this a vanity thing for BAD maybe? If not, I am with bladehunter on this... he must be trolling.

 

With his scientific/engineering mind (insert eye-roll), I would think he would focus on improving his overall strength (not vanity muscles) and actually do a bit of a cut to improve his game... definitely not a bulk cycle. In order to do that efficiently, it would take him at least a year without packing on a ton of flab. It seems so counter-intuitive given his already decent size.

This was at Dallas National. Cameron is at Brook Hollow. A lot of bays look alike. :) Bryson works with Como and others.

Yes, but are his glutes firing?

Yep. But when you’re OCD guy like me sometimes cold turkey is the way. At least to start. I want to quit sodas completely. ( all I drink how for past 5 years is sprite or ginger ale as I once was all Dr Pepper and mt dew ). And stop the bread. I simply love certain kinds too much. And they make me feel bloated and yuck. Otherwise I’m a veggie and fruit eater by nature who doesn’t like candy and cake etc. and you can count on one hands the fast food meals I’ll eat a year.

 

Not to thread jack ( but I am I guess). But I list sugars and bread as the things I want to get rid of as they make me feel bad most often. I’ve been checked out twice for sugar issues and the doc claims I’m good , but yet if I don’t eat on time each meal I crash and go nuts. Worse if I’m not active tyat day. Meaning I can go longer if I am on course or working. If I’m sitting or just goofing off with the wife , I better be eating before or at noon. I tell her this and she says “ well eat regularly “. Thanks captain obvious. I explain that when I mean crash I mean can’t function crash. Can’t think , hard time focusing etc. Like my body will then crave things like meat and cheese. Crackers or bread. Something not sweet tasting.

 

Sorry. As usual I ramble on.

You might be right, but Bryson doesn’t typically jerk everyone around like that
