@Challenger_ST Sure - start your 12 year old on heavy deadlifts, squats, and bench presses. It’s his ticket to the major leagues 😳

Atlanta! Don't miss @theblackkeys on April 26 & 27 at @TabernacleATL. Get your tickets now.

@Challenger_ST I think people underestimate how hard it is to actually get “bulky”. You don’t get bulky by accident.

@Challenger_ST People don’t realize that even the “skinny” hitters (yelich, turner, Carroll, etc) are like massive dudes by civilian metrics 😂

@Challenger_ST I would hate to hit too many home runs playing the game like that would SUCK

@Challenger_ST Has a kid tell me that who plays basketball, in relation to his jump shot. Told him to go watch The Last Dance and see what Jordan said that it was that took his game to the next level in his career.

@Challenger_ST I've never understood the whole "bulky" thing. These guys are professional athletes they shouldn't be afraid to put some muscle on.

@Challenger_ST Dude, I saw some Lindor warm up videos today. Obviously you know I’m on your side, but I never thought about Lindor as a thick guy. He’s fucking Jacked. Get big, strong and fast.

@Challenger_ST 12 year olds should learn mechanics. They dont need to be going heavy weight lifting right now.

@Challenger_ST is that Mookie in the top right woth the sleeper build 👀👀

@Challenger_ST Great choices except for Bonds. Use Judge or Rice, not a roid guy🤷🏻‍♂️

@Challenger_ST I do a fair bit of hockey coaching and have not heard anything like this said for at least 25 years.

@Challenger_ST Stanton slimmed down bc of the injury impact. Harper and Ohtani both don’t look like that and those pics are a decade old. Trout has been hurt every year for a decade. Bonds took steroids and was a better player all around before steroids. What dumb fucking shit is this

@Challenger_ST i love how normies think you can accidentally get bulky like it doesn’t requires tons of training, time, and calories.

@Challenger_ST Haha it’s true.. If steroids in baseball proved anything, despite being”wrong,” it’s that strength improvement helps.
