    its a good idea, his game is not in the post but its about deceptive speed.. 5 lbs of fat loss (if he has any) will help both with his endurance and speed.

    he has to be around 225.. he is 6 4 1/2 and is 225.. Clyde and MJ were both around 6-7 and they weighed 215.. Tmac was 6-8 and 210.. 225 looks right for someone his height.. Eric Gordon is 6-4 and he is 219 pounds.. So 225 looks right..

    I also think most people get scared and mis understand .. for him 5 pounds isn't like how most of us diet and do cardio and dont care how and where the weight comes out of.. For him and the staff its more tricky to keep the same muscle mass and reduce fat weight from the spots where he has fat..

    I am 6'4" and 235. I wouldn't say I am solid as a rock, but I don't look fat. Of course, opinions vary.

    Just get rid of some of the bricks and he'll be at 220 in no time.... maybe even 120.

    The question is
    Is he trying to lose muscle or fat?

    Is he 8% body fat and wants to get down to 5%
    Which is hard but possible to doable in 3 weeks.

    Or is he at 5% and Just wants to lose some upper body muscle which is easier to do. But interesting.
