5 months = 10 pounds
1 pound = 3500 calories

Pretty much an excess of 200 calories a day (give or take) with the best trainers in the world...

Yal make it sound like he gained the 40lbs that Benjamin did or looked like a fat 10lbs gained. 220 is a solid weight for his height, he needs the size and strength if he's going to be that #1 willing to take huge hits over the middle.

Gaining 10 lbs isn't hard. Yea for sure he ate a lot and is likely stronger.

Gaining 10 lbs of good weight in 5 months is near impossibile

213 was a fine weight for him. No one would say he played weak or was over matched at that weight

When you're a WR 10 lbs is a big jump in weight for a guy already in great shape


Gaining weight for skill position has been a dying trend over the last few years for guys that don't need to add bulk. Quite the opposite, guys are dropping weight, improve speed, change of direction, mobility, explosivebess. It's surprising for sure because you don't improve those things going from 210-220 in 5 months
