Tear muscle fiber down eat lots there's no secret lol
Wilco Nienaber averages 1 yard less than Bryson and he is a pencil. He has a far more elegant swing too. Alas, I like them both.
great video--really good job...

How do you gain 50lbs
Tiger Woods - longest average drive record? Surely not. Surely it must have been John Daly!!
50 pounds of "muscle" in a year and a half? Either he's taking PEDS or he did not gain 50 pounds of pure muscle, which one is it?
First: it is impossible to gain 40 pounds of muscle without taking steroids. Second: if one calculates a driving distance to weight ratio of tour players then there are other players who are longer! Dustin, Rory, Tony Justin, etc....are more efficient because they have better swings.Pga should test for steroids and related stuff. But is the Pga really interested to find foulplay?
Cool. He took PEDs
it's not 50lbs in muscle... lets say he took 20 lbs of fluid away... another 10-20lbs of his actual muscle would go to... So he may have put on 15-20lb of actual muscle. That is incredible. I'd rather see Bryson take away some of his fluid. Play it smarter - be healthier...Still going to hit it long...Golf is an ART. Step back a bit Bryson-take a breath in... Not a huff n a buff like he's doing... But heh i haven't got a Major... i just can't see how gaining more access bodyweight is going to be his best option. I wish somebody could tell him to to be smarter with his body weight....
Did anyone else just watch GM golf do this routine with Bryson
No even watching the video he trains hard and knows what to eat, the people who say steroids are probably butthurt they're skinny and think you need steroids.
Can I use these exercises for baseball

Yes. MAT is for anybody, athlete or non-athlete. Find a certified MAT Specialist near you, though. It wasn't just lifting weights for Bryson. It was the combined process of MAT + weight regimen (+ nutrition, of course).
At 270 he is going to be obese.

*50+ lbs.
Innovation in club design and swing is the key takeaway for me!
very puzzling, how does he naturally assimilate all those proteins he takes without excreting the excess? Naturally, a young man can assimilate a maximum of 1/2 gram of protein per Lbs of bodyweight no matter how much he works out, unless....
It’s called PED
15 lbs of muscle and 35 lbs of water weight.
What driving distance record are they even talking about?
Man steroids do wonders!
He ran a Sarms cycle Why do you think he was showing off his abs. Sorry it is physically impossible to put on that much Weight in that little time without getting fat. Especially the way he was eating. And for us who know firsthand he is obviously off cycle and is getting fat cause he thought he could just keep eating like he was while he was on. You can see his belly getting bigger 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let's be 100% clear mr clickbait. Bryson probably gained about 15 - 20 lbs of muscle and the rest was fat. I believe he was 200 before this journey, and is around 235 now, and trust me there are zero abs on that body showing. I'll take DJs basketball player build any day of the week for distance and golfing longevity.
He got fat
Bryson definitely did not take steroids. If he did take steroids while on this bulk, he would have this 3D looking shoulders, and his arms would have bicep peaks. It's funny how the title of this video says "gained 50lbs.." 50 lbs of what? lol It is easy to go on a caloric surplus, lift weights, and gained weight. It's one thing to gain fat, one thing to gain muscle. Professional bodybuilders that take steroids and compete for a living know how hard it is to gain 50 lbs of pure muscle in a year. If you stay injury free, take steroids, always getting sufficient amount of rest/sleep, strict diet, always training hard consistently all year round, stay stress free, then yeah its possible to gain maybe 30-40 lbs of pure muscle. Bryson did not gained 50 lbs of pure muscle, if anything he maybe gained at the most 15 lbs of muscle, and that's a big if. The rest was definitely fat.
Bryson is the only golfer willing to take the enormous risk of injury or risk of ruining his swing by gaining 40+ lbs and rebuilding his swing entirely. It paid off at the U.S. Open but it will be interesting to see what happens in the next few years.
I like watching Bryson ..but you can’t beat a touch player 🏌️♀️ Seve 😀
Bet he would have gotten better results if he had squatted, deadlifted, and pressed!
Let me save you 15 mins, HGH
I only came here to see what Dr. Greg has to say
Its impossible to gain that much muscle naturally! Diminishing returns. He's gonna F up and screw his game. He's not that smart apparently...
0:54
lots of haters still hate him after watching this.
Great video - amazing golf-driving-record & milestone - Go Bryson&Greg!
Greg doucette is going to make one on this
He’s gained predominantly body fat. Not that I’m saying that it’s a bad thing and it has worked for him, but look at his chest and waist. It’s not 50lbs of muscle, it’s probably more 40lbs of fat, 7lbs of muscle and 3lbs water weight
u people r on crack if u think that is what being sauced to the gills looks like after 2-3 years.🤣
His strength gain wouldn't be uncharacteristic if he was on gear.

Correct. I rather doubt he's on gear. He is obsessive, good lad, though that back may crumble, in due course. Old uk duffer here, just saying :)
I didn't think he was taking steroids until this guy denied Bryson was taking steroids out of nowhere.
For those wondering about what record this guy is talking about Bryson beating Tiger, here it is. “Over the four rounds at Detroit Golf Club, Bryson DeChambeau set a new driving distance record for a winner by averaging an incredible 350.6 yards off the tee. The previous record was set by Tiger at The Open Championship at St. Andrews in 2005, where he averaged 341.5.”

Well still can’t hit the ball straight. Muscle is great but consistency is better.
There’s not enough respect on Bryson. Guy works like crazy to get better and improve his game. All the people saying “golf isn’t meant to be played this way” need to accept that things change.
And Augusta National just put him back in his place. Golf wasn't made to be played this way. He should be in long drive championship.
So he can drive it a mile. Impressive. But can he do this? nolocal.info/have/video/qmt_prGKqY1wmJ4
#dopestrong
Every single one of you who actually think he gained 50lbs of muscle your complete morons , That is impossible even for a Olympia level Body builder . If he gained 50lbs it's water and fat and maybe at most 5-10lbs of muscle . Your body gains muscle in ounces and grams not pounds , so the guy who made this video is equally a moron .
LoL, “No way he’s on steroids”.... Then he has the best genetics ever seen.
He's hitting bombs, but he learned the hard way at the Masters that distance isn't everything. There's no way he can get to 275lbs. without getting fat or taking steroids and both of those are bad ideas.

Exactly. Unfortunately, as is the youtube way, there are lots of children on here who have no idea what they're talking about who just spread hate. These are the class envy/participation trophy losers who, rather than take accountability for their own actions, engage in projection all day anonymously. Sad people.
The fact is that it's NOT 50 lbs of Muscle! Without PED's 8 - 10 lbs of Muscle is possible a year. Unless Bryson has discovered a new way of training, food, and supplements that Natural Body Builders have not discovered. DeChambeau is now sporting a Ponch belly. I love to see DeChambeau's Hydrostatic weighing test results?
Please explain the increase in hat size then guy? Maybe not roids but hgh at the least.....
Just bc you put on 50lbs doesn't mean it's all muscle.
More like 50 lbs of fat - annoys me all the commentators saying he’s gained 50lbs of muscle. In two years that’s laughable!!
Fair play to him but he's gained 50lbs of weight, lets not get that mixed up with 50lb of muscle which after competing on various strongman tours i can assure you is not possible in 2 years let alone 6 months, 15 lbs of muscle tissue max

I have no idea if Bryson has used PEDS (most of these are not steroids!) or not BUT most of the weight gains happened in a 3-4 month period (reportedly 30 lbs). It looks suspicious to me and of course he wouldn’t admit it he was on PEDS.

I'm pretty sure the only record that tiger cares about is 82 and 18.
F=MA is not in any way related to what Bryson did. That has to do with explaining how much force an object has if it's traveling and how much the force increases if it's bigger and going faster. That's pretty funny though. All Bryson is really doing is swinging much harder and much faster. I really don't see how adding 50 pounds had anything to do with this. Tiger was much longer when he was skinny as a rail than when he gained weight. I'm not buying it.
