First, as far as FF WR's go, this guy is one of the worst. In fact, I read something a few weeks ago that said last year, he had the worst statistical season of any #2 WR in NFL history. That being said, check out what he's done this off-season-

"Maintaining my weight is probably the hardest thing for me because I'm not a big eater. In the offseason, if I'm traveling or doing something unrelated to football, I probably only eat a couple times a day. Down in Arizona, though, I'd say the main part of my training regimen was eating. I ate six meals per day with the lighter meals later in the day and the heavier meals in the morning.

* My breakfast would consist of a 16-ounce T-bone steak and 10 egg whites. That would be the meal I'd eat before I'd train.

* Right after I'd train, I'd eat two chicken breasts and 8-10 egg whites.

* After that I'd eat fish-maybe 12 ounces of Ahi Tuna, broccoli and a baked potato.

* My fourth meal would be chicken, broccoli, and a baked potato.

* My fifth meal would be a lamb chop or rack of lamb.

* And finally my sixth meal would be fish again.

The tough thing about eating like that is if I ate my breakfast too late or if I didn't eat my in-between meals in time, then I'd be up late trying to finish eating. Seriously -- there were a few nights when I'd fall asleep on the couch while trying to catch up with my eating.

So that was pretty much the way I was able to get stronger--and thus get bigger.

I think my ideal playing weight is 200 pounds. It feels really good. People will look at it and think, "Wow--he went from 185 pounds two years ago to 200 pounds now." They look at that 15 pounds and say, "Wow, he's going to be stiff, he can't run."

I think what's been most surprising to people is that I still have all the same flexibility. I'm not tight, I still have all my range of motion and my stride. In fact, I'm actually running a lot better. It's not that I've just gained weight, I've gained muscle and I've gotten stronger. I'm also a lot more explosive than I was. You can see it in my first couple steps off the line of scrimmage after the ball is snapped, and also running after the catch."

Okay, can you imagine eating 20 eggs a day?!? :shrug: A steak for breakfast? And then to workout right after eating that breakfast? :unsure:

 
That is high in eggs. But its a solid LBM plan.

He probably really likes eggs, and substituted them for other options, such as more fish.

Uhh, egg whites...a bit different. I hear what you're syaing though because that is some daily menu of consumption.
 
Over/Under on his cholesterol set at 300.

EDIT TO ADD: Thought he was pounding full eggs not egg whites. I still can't see eating that every day, but maybe that's just me . . .

You wanna build muscle, you really need to shotgun the protein. Having said that, his program DOES sound a tad bit extreme. Whatever works, I suppose.

20 egg whites a day? Glad I'm not living in the same area code as his bathroom. :)

Rack of Lamb considered "light" :)
 
I read Randle El is now the starting #2 WR. Maybe that's why Lloyd worked out so hard this off-season.
The majority of their plays are run out of 3 WR sets, so Lloyd's going to be on the field regardless. Moreover, while ARE is the ostensible WR2, I feel pretty confident that they'll get switched in and out of the lineup in that role depending upon packages, down and distance, etc.

It is extreme but the guy has the body type of a stick so to gain weight he would probably need to eat like 4000 calories a day.
 
He should remove the potatoes from his diet and add more fruits and vegetables but otherwise it is pretty solid.

 
Look at these pictures, from last year to this year.

*I still don't think he's worth a roster spot :lol: But I applaud the workout commitment.
is he a customer of balco
Are you kiddin' me?? That doesn't even look like the same guy. From Todd Pinkston to David Boston in one year. Really, it's all diet.
 
1. Play Bad2. Eat 20 eggs a day in the offseason3. ??????4. Profit
This went very unappreciated.
Absolutely right -- I haven't laughed this hard at a post in...well...maybe ever. Nice one!
Is it sad that I get an extraordinary amount of pride from making a funny post?
Not at all...But, it would be sad if you checked in to this thread often just to see if your post got any recognition/replies.Sad, but we all do it all the time... ;)
 
That many eggs can only translate to top 10 WR. The formula is how many eggs a day you eat will be the number of Td's you will score. Im betting he just has a high metabolism.

 
That's a pretty standard weight gain plan at most levels. Every trainer will give you 6 meals a day, although mine only said 12 egg whites, 20 seems a bit extreme. It really is tough to eat that much.

 
That's pretty much what I eat in a day minus all the egg whites and rack of lamb. I substitute the T-bone steak with oatmeal and the rack of lamb with steak. It's really an effective way to pack on muscle and keep your body fat low.

 
steroids is bad.

who knows if he did anything wrong this offseason or not. it seems kind of suspicious though. isn't this pretty much the same story we'd hear about baseball players that come out of nowhere and start hitting a ton of homeruns? "they came back from the offseason and looked like a different person. had packed on 20-25 lbs. of muscle."

how am i going to explain this? i'll tell them all about my crazy eating regime........

Exactly what I was thinking. I think he might have had a "little bit of help".

does the NFL test in the off-season? I thought I heard they do not.
 
Brandon Lloyd-WR- Redskins Aug. 7 - 9:54 am et Brandon Lloyd is dealing with shin splints at Redskins camp.He's day-to-day with the injury. Lloyd, who will not be a starter to begin the season, needs to get healthy to lock up the third-receiver role. He shouldn't be guaranteed anything after a horrific showing in 2006.
I guess he didn't eat enough eggs.

A first class fitness regimen can legitimately yield those results. He was lean to begin with so I don't think he's added as much weight as his muscular appearance might imply. Anyway, I doubt Brandon Lloyd is a steroid abuser.
