Oden Gains 30 Pounds Of Muscle November 16, 2007 - 6:46 pm The Oregonian -
A high-ranking Blazers source told Jason Quick on Thursday that Greg Oden still has the same body-fat percentage (7.8 percent) as he did when the Blazers drafted him, yet he has gained nearly 30 pounds, bringing him near 280 pounds.
Translation: That's 30 pounds of muscle that has been attached to his upper-body (he hasn't been able to do any lower body weight training because of his knee surgery).
Oden wasn't able to lift during college because he was recovering from a wrist injury.
jerome has proven you can gain 30 lbs of ho-ho's...but 30 lbs of muscle? yikes...

Well, when you start hitting your late 30s and early 40s you tend to gain a lot of weight.
I'd like to know this magical food he's eaten that has added 30 pounds to his upper body and none to his lower body.
I'd also like to know who's brilliant idea it was to add 30 pounds to a guy who is recovering from microfracture surgery and has other health concerns regarding his legs.

He has the frame to gain weight if he worked out and he can't do any cardio. My guess is that a guy who is as focused as Oden is just trying to improve himself in anyway that he can.

When you're on crutches and unable to exercise, your lower body loses muscle very rapidly, so that would explain why his lower body has gained no weight. It's much more likely he lost weight on his legs.

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!
