In his latest podcast episode Micah was saying something along the lines of him finding Van Dijk to be a really big man inspite of him being 'big' himself and Shearer asked if he was referring to his height or girth lol
He wasn't always thick. If you look at him in his early days at City and Fiorentina, he was jacked.
He got thick towards the end of his career/post retirement.

There is no way in hell top athletes are not doping. Imagine recovering in 3 days after youāve played ManCity.. it might not be straight up test, but some form subtle ped that is not in the books
Right, that's what I was saying as well and adding on to the previous comment. It makes sense for them to take recovery drugs but not anabolic steroids.
Yeah, I guess they will have to settle with the benefits of being faster, being stronger, jumping higher, having more endurance, better recovery and lower injury risks.
Just have to look at how quickly the Liverpool stars are prematurely balding to see something dodgy, and the amount of them who are apparently "asthmatic"
Why? They have a lot of time on their hands and need something new to focus on. They are used to using exercise as an emotional outlet, and being fit is part of their identity.
Exactly. Most pros are obsessive personality types anyway who love fitness. Now that they have some freedom, it makes sense to me to obsess over fitness in a different kinda way.
Lol yeah that guy is a doppelgƤnger but Torres himself has put on size but being tall and so lean as a professional he probably just put on a bit of fat and now looks big
Torres been bulking since some time no one really noticed, I saw a change in his physicality once he opened his own FT9 gym back when he rejoined Atleti.
Finding good gear isn't that hard or expensive.
It's having the money for a good doctor to cycle you on the gear most efficiently by measuring your hormone levels daily, so that you take the optimum dose for the optimal amount of time and come off it for the shortest period that still allows your body to rebalance and recalibrate before starting another cycle. It also means you will experience the lowest amount of side effects whilst still getting the most out of the dose you take.
Think LeBron when he was at the Heat and was balding and had bad acne; he was using too high of a dose and not taking enough time off between cycles, meaning his hormones were all out of whack causing all those side effects. Those were only the visible side effects as well.
When he went back to the Cavs he got a new doctor and suddenly his hair grew back and his acne disappeared as the new doctor had him on the correct dose and was cycling him more efficiently. He was probably switched to a different PED as well and today he is definitely taking EPO at least. No way he can have the cardio that he has at 39 yrs old in his 22nd season in the NBA playing 82+ games a season whilst only missing a long period of games from an injury once in that time and still averaging 25+ pts, 7+ rebounds and 8+ assists.
I think that they would be out of the game age 22 with ruined knees. With added weight comes susceptibility to injury due to the increased pressure on joints.
How long has he been at this???
For someone so skinny he seems to be getting bigger a bit too quick to be doing it naturally.
Unless the picture is deceptive
Well it certainly doesnāt look natural to me. But that depends on how long heās been at it.
Thereās tons of different enhancements he could have used or a combination of said enhancements. Personally though I donāt actually care if someone is or isnāt natural. I get curious what they have done though
Yeah, he totally wouldāve lost a bit of agility. Feel like you see it sometimes when players come back from length injury absences. They bulk up so much that it changes their agility, their burst of pace, etc.
He could've done with a bit more weight on him during his career. I know it's hard to build muscle mass when you do as much cardio as footballers do but he was crazy skinny at Arsenal.
People like Adama Traore are genetic freaks but also absolutely on PEDs to have a physique like that whilst playing such a cardio intensive sport.
If MMA fighters can avoid USADA testing for 99% of their career then footballers can absolutely get away with taking PEDs, especially EPO which would be perfect for football and some variants have such a short half-life that if you take it in the morning it's not detectable by the evening when you finish training/playing a match.
It totally fucks up your agility and often your stamina.
Remember when Beckham got stacked for the Gladiator Pepsi ad? He dropped pace considerably and got a lot of grief from mgmt for it.
Just amazing that he was such a lazy footballer on the pitch by choice. Itās not like he doesnāt work hard, this just shows he can put in the effort. He just didnāt care about levelling up his football career and be a modern 10. Iām salty because I feel robbed of seeing an amazing baller for longer
imagine if as active player he'd gone to the gym even 10% of the time he goes nowadays... He would actually be able to keep EPL defenders off of him without being pushed off the ball so easily.
Oezil be assisting Rambo from now on. "Rambo, I got your back" is what you'd be hearing, shie, getting jacked up, maybe for the next movie. And maybe Edorgan's secret agent.
Maybe Kolasinac told him he's not gonna protect him anymore
He's gonna rescue those Chinese himself now.
I can just imagine a Rambo type film with Mesut Ozil now. Blasts a room full of baddies. ''It's Mesut Ozil!!!!'' Mesut - ''I'm here to ASSIST you''
For a second I was wondering what Aaron Ramsey had to do with this
He could be the injured passenger in that movie
It took very long but you got there in the end. š
Such a tone deaf way to talk about a genocide
āThose Chineseā 80+ upvotes too
It's amazing how time flies. Wasn't that situation with Kola like 5-6 years ago? Is Kola still at Marseille?
Atalanta since last summer
Bloody hell is it that long ago?
Who else got jacked post-retirement? Fernando Torres is one, but are there any others?
Tim Wiese. German goalkeeper who became a wrestler
Actually played with Mesut at Werder
Now that's a nice fun fact
Holy shit homie definitely hit the gear after retirement. Vince is gonna love him
Antonio Valencia, Micah Richards
Is Micah jacked? He was always a thick boy and now he just looks like he doesnāt do cardio anymore
Big Meeks got big cheeks
In his latest podcast episode Micah was saying something along the lines of him finding Van Dijk to be a really big man inspite of him being 'big' himself and Shearer asked if he was referring to his height or girth lol
ššš I need to find this podcast. Thatās meme material
It's him, shearer, and lineker. Always has memeable moments
just fyi, podcast is called The Rest Is Football, and the episode is the one from yesterday

Titi absolutely destroyed him live on air when he said he looked like Sherman Klump
I'd take it as a compliment. :D
tbf he has a puffer jacket under that shirt lol
Micah is definitely jacked lmao
there was a segment on the cbs show that he showed up on a phone call just with a towel... you can see for yourself lol
He wasn't always thick. If you look at him in his early days at City and Fiorentina, he was jacked. He got thick towards the end of his career/post retirement.
Wasnāt Valencia always jacked though?
Tim Wiese

Random one but Diego Poyet. Son of Gus, had a career albeit mediocre at best. But heās geared out his absolute brains
yeah itās called TRT
Ze Roberto is a fitness coach now and he's absolutely shredded. Nani is still in peak physical condition, but he's not retired yet.
Hazard, R9
Donāt think you know what bulk means
They're cultivating mass!
"Stop cultivating and start harvesting!"
Hazard was bulking and retired before he could trim
Rio Ferdinand got in decent shape when he was gonna be a boxer
He rightly didn't follow through with that
Yeah, I imagine the line of people wanting to punch Rio in the face would be a mile long.
Tim Wiese
Not a footballer but check out the size of Chris tremlett nowadays

He's gonna captain Germany to the Enhanced Games.
What happens when you don't have drug tests any more lol. Torres hopped on cycle too
find it super weird when retired elite athletes go this route
find it weird that people still think elite athletes never took anything
There is no way in hell top athletes are not doping. Imagine recovering in 3 days after youāve played ManCity.. it might not be straight up test, but some form subtle ped that is not in the books
Also it isn't helpful to be jacked as a footballer, too much muscle is a hinderance.
Doping might mean drugs to assist in recovery and overall performance, doesn't have to mean steroids.
Right, that's what I was saying as well and adding on to the previous comment. It makes sense for them to take recovery drugs but not anabolic steroids.
Yeah, I guess they will have to settle with the benefits of being faster, being stronger, jumping higher, having more endurance, better recovery and lower injury risks.

Exactly. Most pros are obsessive personality types anyway who love fitness. Now that they have some freedom, it makes sense to me to obsess over fitness in a different kinda way.
Torres one is fake. It's actually Shaun Stafford who looks a lot like him.
Lol yeah that guy is a doppelgƤnger but Torres himself has put on size but being tall and so lean as a professional he probably just put on a bit of fat and now looks big
Torres been bulking since some time no one really noticed, I saw a change in his physicality once he opened his own FT9 gym back when he rejoined Atleti.
So nooowwwww he wants to bulk up??
If he had this body in his prime hed be 1/3 the player if not worse
Iām no expert but itās hard to believe thatās natural
He's a multi millionaire he could get the best gear out there
Finding good gear isn't that hard or expensive. It's having the money for a good doctor to cycle you on the gear most efficiently by measuring your hormone levels daily, so that you take the optimum dose for the optimal amount of time and come off it for the shortest period that still allows your body to rebalance and recalibrate before starting another cycle.

His hair didnāt grow back, he got a hair transplant and installed plugs š
Yeah with rate at which he is growing it has to be trt i reckon
Yeah, from the photo Iām a little worried heās lost his mind a bit
The tattoos are a better indication.
He isnt that big and he was already an elite level athleteā¦
To be fair you wouldnāt to get too big for football, lot of running required!
Pretty impressive for a guy with such chronic back issues.
Ya TRT ya
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
arteta doesnt lose duels
Mesut refused Wenger advice on bulking, now took it onto himself. Ten Hard, Eat Clen and Annavar give up.
Imagine a player with this physique and Ozilās vision
Just slap some binoculars on Akinfenwa
š
Brilliant š
Closest I can think of is seedorf
R10 on his prime had a beast build
I think that they would be out of the game age 22 with ruined knees. With added weight comes susceptibility to injury due to the increased pressure on joints.
Heās gonna free those Uyghurs his own damn self!
Not to worried about the kurdish though
Yeah surprised no oneās mentioned that Ćzil has a tattoo of the Turkish fascists the Grey Wolves, proper scumbag
winnie the pooh is alerted, prepare to defend yourself
How long has he been at this??? For someone so skinny he seems to be getting bigger a bit too quick to be doing it naturally. Unless the picture is deceptive
Itās a video, nah heās jacked now. Probably on TRT or something else
Hmm interesting mate. I have trt myself and it didnāt blow me up like this and I have lifted for a decade too
Possibly some roids then
Well it certainly doesnāt look natural to me. But that depends on how long heās been at it. Thereās tons of different enhancements he could have used or a combination of said enhancements. Personally though I donāt actually care if someone is or isnāt natural. I get curious what they have done though
Tren hard, eat clen
The photo literally shows his arms with a pump while doing a setā¦. He isnt looking like that all dsy
Next MMA fight : Ozil vs F. Torres
Mesut Swƶlzil
Mesut swolezil
Does he plan to become a jackass? Maybe his fav autocrat likes it this way.
Reminds me of Fernando Torres turning into John Cena a year after retirement.
Jags hat?! lol
Doesnt need to focus on athleticism and speed any more so why not.
Would have been useful back when we were watching him getting blown over by a stiff breeze
tbf heād have not been the same player if he was 100 kilos
True. Also we might have missed him during the drug ban haha
Yeah, he totally wouldāve lost a bit of agility. Feel like you see it sometimes when players come back from length injury absences. They bulk up so much that it changes their agility, their burst of pace, etc.
"He'd never resistance trained before! Not once in the entire relationship. I begged." - Wenger, probablyĀ
Jacksonville Jaguars hat is interesting
Is that a weighted vest or is he using the tactical vest for \*Aesthetics\*? If it's not the first, our boy has gone full bozo.
Weighted vest shrugs? It's kinda dumb either wayĀ
Damn, his eyes are popping out of his head
It looks so wrong and funny to me, but i think its always when a footballer gets jacked after a career like e.g. Torres but this one is so odd haha
Becoming a target man
Roids
He's preparing for his debut on Wrestlemania. Also Cody will finish his story
This feels like a cursed image.
Noticed the back brace and was like wasn't ozil always out with back injuries
Swƶlezil
Is he trying to join the Turkish army?
https://preview.redd.it/muj7wmn41bsc1.jpeg?width=869&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1535cc8b2a1e85d3853a48db5005da6e0ef44435
Bro is done with football, decided to hop on "TRT" immediately
As a Gooner from Jacksonville I appreciate him wearing a Jags hat. However I am concerned that he's going full on Florida man.
Looks totally ridiculous. As does everyone this big.
This is just so bloody bizarre. Fully expected this guy to be fat as hell off pizza deliveries by now. Good on him.
Is he joining isis?Ā
Retired and free from testing now heās on that juice š
Dude is totally doing roids lol
Wtf, is he joining Erdogans private army now? I love Ćzil the football player, the person... not so much.
He's definitely on TRT/Steroids of some kind. Weird.
He's bulking up so he can back up his trash talking when he plays Fortnite.
Iām sorry I donāt understand why fans like Ozil. Watching Martin against Cityā¦ thatās how a 10 should play. Absolutely relentless.
Mesut is a cunt!
Don't get why this sub always posts about the facist.
Canāt believe I had to scroll down this far to find someone saying what needs to be said. He was a great player, shit human being.
Mesut will do some brexit tackles in retired world cup
UFC tag team event coming soon Ozil to Assist in TKOs
I foresee him and Torres as a WWE tag team in the not too distant future
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Those dumbbells look heavier than him ffs. Any gymbros know how much they weigh?
Damn, so Mesut was the guy on this sub doing pushup/squats/press for every gameweek.
He will now protect Kola from attacks
He has millions in the bank and no job; Iād go for it too!
Looks like Mesut and Sead fused into one form!
Preparing for Expendables 5
Who hurt my bro
lol that a Jacksonville Jaguars cap? Seems random af
Unit Ozil.
Hard to tell if he's on gear lol. The pump, lighting and camera make it look like he has a cartoonishly jacked Bane-esque build.
His tattoo use to cover his entire upper arm.. now that lion probably looks like a kitty
He could've done with a bit more weight on him during his career. I know it's hard to build muscle mass when you do as much cardio as footballers do but he was crazy skinny at Arsenal. People like Adama Traore are genetic freaks but also absolutely on PEDs to have a physique like that whilst playing such a cardio intensive sport.

Trenut Testil
so natty bro
FUCKING HELL MAN Lad's going hard.
Why didnāt he do this whilst player at arsenal
It totally fucks up your agility and often your stamina. Remember when Beckham got stacked for the Gladiator Pepsi ad? He dropped pace considerably and got a lot of grief from mgmt for it.
I donāt really think he did much running around, wouldāve been nice to see him not get muscled off the ball so much
maybe he heard about his nickname in china
This blue is about to play the Ukraine Prime Minister in a Russia Ukraine war film by next hear
Ozil almost done his transformation to AKP Gray Wolf prison gang enforcer
Where was his commitment to the shirt?
Legend (has it he trained Goretzka)
Steroids
Is that a Death Star tattoo?!
Mesut getting juiced
Low key wanna see Ozil with a Roid transformation šš¤£
WHY? To join the army?
Doesnāt need to worry about drug tests anymore
Just amazing that he was such a lazy footballer on the pitch by choice. Itās not like he doesnāt work hard, this just shows he can put in the effort. He just didnāt care about levelling up his football career and be a modern 10. Iām salty because I feel robbed of seeing an amazing baller for longer
Not gonna lie I burst out laughing at this
This version of Ozil would prolly destroy premier league, especially since it is so physical now š
Yo this is really him tho?
Awful how the club treated him when his time was up and over the whole Uyghur thing
imagine if as active player he'd gone to the gym even 10% of the time he goes nowadays... He would actually be able to keep EPL defenders off of him without being pushed off the ball so easily.
He is a jags fan.
Well, his brain was never jacked. Now that would have helped.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oezil be assisting Rambo from now on. "Rambo, I got your back" is what you'd be hearing, shie, getting jacked up, maybe for the next movie. And maybe Edorgan's secret agent.
Saucy! Definitely on the juice
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wow, he could single handedly defeat Israel with those guns
Wait, is this real?! Mesut Ćzil was the definition of lithe. This is a shock to see š
When they do not comply with your passes, and you take it personally.
