He probably lost a couple of pounds in those 3 weeks, but the biggest thing was getting his heart and lungs back. He won't have that this year, and he's most likely in even better shape. Which almost always increases performance.
As an ex-soldier, I can tell you that the opposite is true. The heart (which has everything to do with cardio) is the hardest muscle to get in shape. Either way, are we now shifting the argument from Burfict's weight to his cardio shape (which is much harder to prove either way)?
I'm done. I think I laid out a pretty good case.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
