Man, the guy didn't have an ounce of fat to lose. I really have no idea how building, maintaining or losing muscles works. He must also be eating a lot less.

Brady is going to hound Gronk until he gives in and come back. You play football your whole life and its just not that easy to walk away.
Facts are so stubbornSubtract the last word in your post.
And think about it.
He just won his third ring. You've seen his medical history. I get it - - as a fan, these players are pieces on a board. But what's in it for HIM if he comes back - and what's the trade off, life-wise?

Yes, but charity begins at home so he's coming home to the Pats, yeah, Robbie G!The workout in California was part of a charity event.

Nutrition is very important, no doubt. Without a nutrient-protein rich caloric surplus you will not be growing muscle organically(no AAS). However, in an already skeletal muscular hypetrophic(bulked lean muscle) state you cannot maintain that level of muscle without continued hypertrophy style weight lifting. Period, end of story.
And as we age the ability to maintain and grow muscle diminishes a little each year. 30 may seem young(and it is), however, your protein synthesizing, hormone production (total and free), GH/IGF1 production are all lessened while aromatase enzymes and cortisol production (items naturally working against lean skeletal muscle gain) increase. for a man this starts at age range 22-26. There are always outliers that these hurdles are still negligible by 30 but the chances are extremely slim that the hurdles aren't at least a tiny bit.
The upside for Gronk is he isn't trying to build the leanest of frames (say 10% or less body fat).Now putting on some fat? THAT! is something that can be done more rapidly
All these guys play hurt and have had multiple surgeries.Subtract the last word in your post.

Gronk looks like he could play if he wanted to.
It might take more than three weeks but it definitely can be done. When I was 39 I nearly had to have surgery for a herniated disc; I couldn't lift weights or run for over six months. It took about a month to get my strength and muscle back once I was able to resume training.He hasnt lost that much muscle.
Couple 3 weeks in the weight room and it all comes back after building your body your whole life.

Not that this is Rob G related, but I made the experience that growing muscle while losing weight over a long period of time is still very possible (still high protein nutrition). It seems that strength and muscle relative to your bodyweight/body fat % is important. If you need to lose 5 pounds of fat and you are already extremely strong and muscular for your weight, it seems you will have a tough time to lose weight and gain muscles, you probably can only lose fat in that process. I was 6'2 250 pounds and fairly strong and but not very strong for that weight. Dropped down to 215 in a little more than a year and got a lot stronger and more muscular in the process (ok, must say I increased the workouts from 2-3 per week to 5 times per week). I agree with what you said though. Nutrition and workout go hand in hand and none work without each other.
Maybe he enjoys playing football and going to Super Bowls?Subtract the last word in your post.
