Why has Peter Crouch never been put on a weights programme?

[ParkySpur]

I expect Crouch does do the appropriate amount of wieght training, and I'm positive, with the amount of technology involved in fitness etc in Premierships clubs that he is on is optimum regime. The problem with a player with a body composition such as Crouch's is that fitnees is the most important thing in modern football.

I expect Crouch does enough weights for any regular guy his size to bulk up signiifcantly. However, all of the fitness, cardio and endurance training he has to do in order to keep up to the pace of top level football will prevent him from keeping this bulk.

He is, as they say, one of those freaks of nature!!

I'd be as skinny as a rake if I was fucking Abby every night.

But he was as skinny as a rake when he was fucking his hand every night!

He is a slim guy naturally. I'm sure being a tall fella, he eats a lot, but with all the fitness work he has to do, there is no buling up as his natural metabolism just sheds anything he eats.

I was the same for years, same height and same build. But then I'm not a professional athlete (although did play basketball to a high level). When I stopped, I started to fill out (up to 19 stone).

I'm not just under 17 stone, and happy with my height, but if I bulked up, I wouldn't be able to move.

Some people just can't bulk up without stopping that level of fitness.

He is already...surely you have seen this - he waits in the box for prolonged passages of play:shrug::wink:

MOST footballers at hte top have some degree of muscle and probably bone mass to begin with, so adding a bit more muscle can be carried off easily.

Crouch is so abnormally skinny (in football terms), I don't think his body would react well to putting on a stone of muscle. I think he would be prone to injuries.

I'm 6ft 5" and up until I was 25, could'nt put weight on for love or money. After picking up weights and doing them constantly for about 3/4 of a year I started putting on weight! It's like something switched on in my body but up untill that point in my life I could eat anything... and looooaaads of it but still could'nt even put on an ounce of weight.
Now my bodys evened out at just under 18 stone and i do have a little bit of a belly but not much else so I'm quite happy with how things worked out with regard to weight/ body etc etc.

I think you are right about Peter as If he is constantly using high amounts of energy and has a extremely high metabolism then it will be nigh on imposiible for him to bulk up.
Shame as someone of his height would be so much more dangerous with a bit more weight. Do'nt know how many times I've seen him in a heap on the penalty area this season as he just gets berged out of the way.

Maybe after watching Becks make so much money from his off-field projects, Crouchy wants to earn the same big bucks and also fulfil his life-long ambition to be a Supermodel.
