Bryson DeChambeau's physical transformation into one of the PGA Tour's most imposing golfers did not happen overnight. Even though it seems like this is exactly what happened. The DeChambeau coach, in a recent interview with ESPN, said that DeCheambeu, who has put on around 20 pounds over the last year, has built the foundation for his development for several years, culminating in a hasty and noticeable change in recent months.
“Because we had the foundations, you see the end result came quickly,” said Greg Roskopf, the coach who oversaw his progress. "But the two years of preparation that got him to the point where he was able to make these changes is really the reason he was able to make these changes as fast as he could."
DeChambeau wasn't blamed for steroid use - although Brooks Koepka joked him about it - but his rapid mass gain raised questions about how his body transformed so quickly.
How can a professional golfer gain 20 pounds of muscle in a year?
This is unheard of in almost all circumstances.
“But under normal circumstances, it seems like the only way to make these changes is to take steroids,” his trainer told ESPN. “And I can guarantee you that it wasn't part of his process and wasn't even an idea in his head. It was just part of the evolution of her involvement in this program and her ability to tolerate the forces that her body was able to withstand. And these changes in strength have been amazing, but it's quite natural on that side ”.
DeChambeau, 26, now weighs 110 kilos and leads the PGA Tour in driving distance with an average of 324,4 yards. That's a big increase from his average of 302,5 yards in 2019 and 305,7 yards in 2018.
It is the result of hard work and good strategy that DeCheambeu - who gained 20 of his new 50 pounds during the lockdown period - is transforming before our eyes into a new type of golfer with tremendous strength. physical. He recently told GQ that he consumes three protein meals a day in addition to six or seven protein shakes, which adds up to 5 calories a day when you factor in eggs, bacon, sausage and more. other foods in the diet.
If his retirement plan is going as well as his training program, he is in great shape.
“I mean my goal is to live to be 130 or 140,” he told GQ, “I really think it's possible now with the technology today”.
DeChambeau did not win a major championship in his young career but opened the 2020 PGA Championship with odds of 13-1.
