It looks like Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has been hitting the weights this offseason.
Impact Fitness Foundation shared photos of Curry from a charity event in Baltimore.
NBA fans were struck by the definition in the 11-time All-Star’s forearms:
To be clear, Curry has looked like this for a while. As a rookie, he was a pretty slender guard. Over time, he steadily added a little more muscle to help better cope with the physical grind of the regular season.
Reporting for ESPN in 2015, Ethan Sherwood Strauss detailed how Curry began training with Brandon Payne at a facility in Fort Mill, South Carolina, four years earlier. With Payne’s guidance, he eventually became a two-time MVP and the NBA’s most lethal shooter.
Curry’s dedication to his craft hasn’t waned.
“It’s not like he’s in love with this grinding, hard and ridiculous process,” Payne told NBA.com’s Mark Medina in 2022. “He’s in love with getting better. He just has to put up with the process to get there.”
That explains why Curry averaged 24.5 points and six assists in his 16th season in the league. The 37-year-old may no longer be at his peak, but he continues to perform at a level that leads the Warriors to believe they can chase one more title.
