Habcup Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Maxim Lapierre, according to Habs Inside/Out, has bulked up to 212 lb for the upcoming season. Nice! Now, let's hope he can contribute a little more offensively playing with linemates like Higgins, or Sergei, or Laraque, or whoever. Go Max! I would like to know what "diet" and work regime allowed him to gain 16 pounds in 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren19 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 True that but I doubt he started his training & diet at 6 AM on May 4th Why not? it's like he has to go to work or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny_canuck_21 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I would like to know what "diet" and work regime allowed him to gain 16 pounds in 2 months. Montreal's last game against Philly was on May 3, so it is actually very close to 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny_canuck_21 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 True that but I doubt he started his training & diet at 6 AM on May 4th I never meant to imply that he did. I was just pointing out that he has had much more than 2 months to bulk up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianMike Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I don't have a link or anything, but I was glad to hear my brother tell me Lapierre was working really hard on his skating this summer. My brother is a coach and knows the guy that is training with Max. If you feel the need to delete this...go ahead. I love hearing when Habs are working hard to stay in the lineup (in his case guarantee never to go back to the AHL) yes I am quoting MYSELF I tell no lies. GO MAX!!! I am so anxious for hockey I am about to explode. Hearing confirmation that players are doing all they could to be that much better is music to my ears.

js2 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 canadiens.com has him at 200lbs which is most likely from training camp last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsJohnny Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Prediction for my boy next season: 41G 86A 127P. + Hart trophy, Art ross trophy and Vezina. (Price and halak will get injured so he'll take over the #1 spot for the last 30 games.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny_canuck_21 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Was on the team 990, You can search this thread, as we discussed it back then when it played on the radio There might be certain areas, or an area, where you can compare Lapierre & Iginla, but to say that he could be another Iginla. Unbelievable, and it would not be fair to Lapierre to expect anything even close to that. Lapierre was drafted 61st, & Iginla was drafted 11th overall. Lapierre's last year in junior - GP 69, G 25 A 27, Pts 52. Did not win any major awards in junior. Iginla's last year in junior - GP 63, G 63, A 73, Pts 136. Won the MVP & Most Sportsmanlike in junior, plus 2 first all star teams. Lapierre's 1st year in the NHL at age 21. He played 46 games, & had 6 G & 6 A for 12 Pts. Iginla's 1st year in the NHL at age of 19. He played 82 games, & had 21 G & 29 A for 50 Pts. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/bio/?i...e=nhl-canadiens http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/bio/?i...name=nhl-flames Lapierre, IMO, will never be anywhere close to what Iginla is as a player. He just does not have the hockey skills or attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA_Champion Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 16 pounds in two months? Assuming it's all fat (probably not), then that's a little less than 2 pounds a week, or a surplus of 1000 calories a day. He was probably drinking a lot of protein shake... and maybe part of it is water weight from consuming a lot of creatine. Creatine users can gain 5-10 lbs of water weight in their first week. Lapierre is a hard worker so this sounds like good news. I think he'll have 10 more points next season than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Steroids? Seriously, muscle weighs more than fat, and we have no idea how fatty Lapierre's body was prior to this off-season. He may have just worked out and built up muscle if he had more fat on his body than he wanted. Yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

js2 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Like I said in a previous post, according to canadiens.com he is listed at 200lbs which was most likely taken during training camp last season. So that's a 12lbs gain in almost a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
