00:00 So I would also say that I was playing around 210 last year and now I'm around 224, 225.
00:09 So that's a testament to the strength staff, the nutrition staff, and all the support staff
00:13 that really support all the players and really leveled up our nutrition.
00:16 How does that help you having a few more pounds?
00:19 It helps me. As I wouldn't say it's a few more pounds, a few more pounds of muscle.
00:23 It's not like I'm putting bad weight on there. So it's better, stronger legs,
00:28 so more power and torque rotation when you're throwing the ball,
00:31 better contact when you're getting hit, you have more resistance to those hits.
00:36 And then I would also say bigger muscles are, especially in the leg muscles, you're also faster.
00:41 So I've also increased my speed tremendously throughout this offseason.
00:44 So what's your 40 time now? Do you have any idea?
00:46 So we did a 40 time in the three weeks ago.
00:52 The conditions were a little extraneous, but I ran a 4.8. So 4.8, so that's definitely a level up for me.
