All-Access: Kevin Durant Workout

[edscottable]

@ryouta1987apr4 olympic 100 meter runners have huge thighs. not thin at all. they are the fastest people in the world.

[edscottable]

@ryouta1987apr4 long legged players however dont use their quads as much. they are longer striders not alot of bending at the knee. couple this with their wider q angle and they often are candidates for knee problems. they must simulate exercises to strengthen their quads to help stabilize the knee.

[edscottable]

@ryouta1987apr4 fast twitch muscle recruitment. faster quicker players did activities that emphasized speed quickness during their development. big bulky slow twitch muscle fibers fatigue much less quickly but dont aid in quickness. you can have both. barkley, lebron, barry sanders. if you didnt grow up around guys like that having to guard them or compete against them, you can simulate those explosive excercises in your routine.

[PojekGwapzpo123]

Kevin Durant is the most hard working NBA player ever

[spazpsg1]

he needs to get bigger get him into the weight room!!!

[toby099]

I would work my ass off as well if I got the amount of money those dudes get.

[sourdojack50]

you call this a workout! this better have been the warm-up.

[MQBone3]

@sourdojack50 No it wasn't because that was only PART of his actually workout!

[StormyStudios]

@sourdojack50 he probably does a better workout now since he's gotten way better

[deanwoods52]

listen to the start of the video all i have to say is Fuck you kevin i tried it lol

[JAMISONS]

imagine him in lebron's body

[deanwoods52]

@JAMISONS he would make everyone his bitch lol

[Boss11212]

bulk him up man. give him the protein

[DavidEnvy]

185

[joebrook9167]

wdfffff that's crazy son! hey NBA, do you jump high enough to dunk? I learned how to dunk from 50 inch vertical (dot) com

[Amkolino]

very good player but i thin he needs around 15 kilos to be a man.

[shred88]

he's ready 4 the boxing match!..... ow wait..he's a basketball player...right...lol

[hash1212]

durants just a kid...an amazingly good basketball player....but a kid!

[parmezans]

You guys shouldn't really comment on his strength, do you remember Chris Bosh when he first arrived in the NBA? Looked like an anorexic kid. Look at him now. What separates the NBA from the rest of the world's basketball is physical preparation... You'll see, in 3 years he is going to look like Lebron.

[islew2007]

look at the heart and tuffness of allen iverson... and kevin durant is alot bigger than he is.. he can have a iverson like tuffness, take hits like a baller. have you seen kevins cross over? i see alot of parallels in his game to iverson....what happens when he gets better at his left hand, explosiveness, and three point shooting?... madness.....madness.....

[islew2007]

i don't think he needs to bulk up, if anything he has lean athletic muscle that doesn't get in the way of his speed. He should practice the point guard position and the low post. 6'10 crazy skills.

[TheNasEscobar]

now he is skinny and unstopable.Image what would happen if he gains weight

[phirephaxL]

He'll get slower

[305pinoy]

@phirephaxL not really, lebron james is way bigger but fucking crazy fast.. i think if kevin durant gets more muscle and power he'll be a monster

[phirephaxL]

LeBron is LeBron. He's a freak of nature. And they don't have the same body type.

[MrDeszka222]

fuck man he need a lot of weight lifting he need muscle .....all his work out of him is just for the legs....

[TheNextAirJordan23]

to all who say hes skinny and doesn't have muscle, durant is A LOT stronger than he looks. he isn't anywhere close to lebron when it comes to strength, but he can take a hit when it comes to game time

[Ammaculate44]

yay?

[friedricemonster]

I dont think KD needs to pack muscle, his length and quickness makes up for the lack of muscle.

[bigbillyz]

so damn tall

[MrSantiagoandDunbar]

what the fuck do you need muscles for in basketball? unless your a big man or the only exception which is Lebron james...

KD for the win

[Phillyballplaye]

ima basketball player.

u need strength to play

ecause all them big ass b odies pushin u around

[Ammaculate44]

Makes your more stabilized, and durable.

[ArizonaTea221]

I think its alot harder to pack on muscle when your as tall as he is. I feel like in time he will try to get more jacked.

[vietkid28]

he is skinny man, y isnt he buff?

[FisjerMan]

"hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard"

quote - Kevin Durant

[Ammaculate44]

talent doesn't work hard* If you're going to quote a star, do it correctly.

[FisjerMan]

i'm so sorry man, can you forgive me or do i need to give you like, my first born?

i sincerely hope that this huge mistake will quickly be forgotten..

DUDE, the exact words does not matter, it's the meaning of it..

[zenlee1109]

@FisjerMan great quote. perfect example of talent failing to work hard= vince carter

[eafsarg]

@FisjerMan Talent failing to work hard = Vince Carter...

[XtremeSoyBar]

everytime i see him he reminds me of the traditional tribal africans

[marcdogg7]

i love the trainers, they're different

[Jiwu]

wtf that's not workout! and he's thin!

[joshhopp]

durant was the pick, portland

[oc3ean]

durant should be able to score close to 30ppg this season. Although Thunders will probably miss the playoffs again, they will be fun to watch!

[BrewCityHitman]

He shouldve been an allstar last year and will be this year!

[TheRevolutionary465]

this kid is freakin tall.

[humexavier]

stand there and do a hour of quick jumping jacks straight to the pros gauranteed

[nikeforceballer]

he is lanky

[NotSoEpicMuffinz]

Durrant is either at the peak of his career or the begining of it. This season coming up will determine how good he'll be, I can't wait to see.

[markham225]

Peak of his career? He's entering his 3rd season. He's still got several more years to go before he reaches the peak of his career. It's scary how good he'll be.

[JayT98]

This kid is the next MJ in my opinion. Call me crazy. Kobe couldn't conquer MJ's massive shadow over the league. But I'm thinking durant will. Like i say, call me crazy, but we shall see.

[DRUMMA911]

you stupid hater youve been on kobe videos talking tha same shit.....No1 can be MJ, stop saying that shit....MJ is MJ, Kobe is KObe and Durant will be Durant

[dp100]

yo momma will be yo momma

[DRUMMA911]

okayy??

[kingmathers13]

niether will durant jordan dropped 28 his rookie year. jordan= GOAT

[MrJeckel]

... all this guy seriously needs to improve on are strength and defense. he is 2 components away from being an nba all star the dude can do anything on the floor... i seriously haven;t seen a 3 point percentage jump from 26% in rookie season to one of the best in the league at 42%. that shows his ethic to work. the kid is a phenom.

[1992trenton]

all he need to do is lift weights to get big and work on his defense and he got an all around game

[bball502zzz]

think u skinny nigga u r skinny! lol

[MrWeasel12]

check out the new kevin durant nike rap commercial VELVET SMOOTH!!

[ThePaperboy9]

It's Velvet Hoop not smooth but yea that videos so funny.. "the hyperizers"

[bscwhoibe]

damn im 5'2. wonder how it would look me standing next to him

[bscwhoibe]

damn how fuckin tall is he?

[dbazn]

6'9 w/o shoes

[cheke64]

endurance training = bad

[mgmetz327]

why

[rohimbo]

he's a basketball player, he needs endurance

[cheke64]

he needs explosion more he is not a marathon runner. What good is kwame brown with the best endurance?

[hungrypigeon]

Worst post on Youtube. So you are comparing Kwame to Durant? Kwame is lucky to even play in a game where Durant is carrying a team...so i think Durant is gonna need just a bit more stamina than my man Kwame...and the training in this vid is not comparable to marathan running training...there is a good balance shown in this vid.

[cb4allstar4]

@cheke64 I agree its true but not true at the same time explosion is quickness and vertical jumping while endurance is having enough stamina to play through the game because its hard but they train for both

[CCStunna]

no...

[145bobby]

maybe he syould think bout benching hahahahaha

[tooclutch20]

the kid's going to be fucking amazing.

[anniechanboyee]

Oh my god this is the Ranier gym. I go there all the time and I have games there o.o

[chsboi42]

alot of ppl say how lebron kobe and wade r great and personally kobe is my fav player but durant and westbrook are gonna b the next big things just watch

[OreoCookieOreo]

The trainer has a big gut lol.

[cavsnba23mvp]

imagine the blazers wit him..roy alderage..outlaw..

[nowakadrian7]

kevin durant is weak as fuck y wld i wanna do his workout

[motomike8012]

Because he is unreal on the court

[dontaeVega]

Amen

[JaZZyTaYTaY]

Tayshean Prince i think thats how u spell it is skinny i dont who skinner though

[apchunsa]

funny.. talented but has twigs for legs and arms

[CJSFilipino04]

he looks like jamie foxx haha

[ladyjmk20]

how much he weigh???????

[liunatic]

192 i believe

[LZShow12]

Durant, Green, Westbrook will dominate the NBA.

[Whtballa]

And James Harden!

[DMD1533]

he bench 185 at his max going into the nba sadly but he can improve just think about how gr8 he could be if he was 230 he would be a moster

[L0CK3DnL04D3D]

So what if he's thin. Durant is raw. And it's kinda sad how's he's better than dudes that bench way more than him.

[HarveyRex23]

I heard Kevin Durant can't even bench 135 lbs.

[blacknapalm]

ya and he's this good already so what do you expect when he gets stronger?

[MrHunt35]

SF is mainly a perimeter defense position, he's not going to have to deal with that much post play, so weight and body strength won't pose as much as a problem as it would if he were in the 4 or 5 slot. he's long and that's what matters the most when contesting jump shooters.

[DatPhillyGibbs]

he's too linky... he needs more muscle and he will be unstoppable

[scionkai]

he doesn't need to be muscly..he'll lose his speed then..

[DatPhillyGibbs]

if Kevin Durant do have muscles than he'll be like Lebron and Lebron is the fastest nigga in the league

[basket2224]

Yeah scionka having muscles doesn't slow you down, except if you only work the upper body.

[BigHomieN8]

jingeshan24, no disrespect homie, its the skill that counts!! Montae Ellis for example!!! Anyway, he is a true shooting guard!!! DMV all day!!!

[jingeshan24]

kevin durant is 6'9 and he weights 217...

he will have a serious matchup problem in the SF position....

i mean i am a PF at my league...

i am as tall as he is but i weight 294 so i consider him a pretty small guy..... i mean he weight like my 6ft tall dad.,....

[Hova55]

that dont matter he held his own this season he was the heart of that team

[krzychomistrz]

thats why hes so good

not every 6.9 guy can play on SF thats why hes makin milions...

hes movin like a 6.0 and becouse of his lack of weight he can fly

[te444]

you don't play in the nba

[KC1KC2KC3]

his enormous

[HeartBeat206]

Hey ive been to that basketball court haha

its pretty nice down by the baseball field by rainier

[shellberto777]

Man, why is he working on his legs? His arms look like twigs.

[pnxxxxxx]

What do you jump with?

[FrshPrNcEsT]

apparently ur arms. duhh! *_*

[carbiduis]

what do you play basketball with? twig mutherfucker get broke in two....he's tiny like a balemic super model

[Afridi786]

Durant needs to pass too, not just score.

[shaureb1]

lmao he has no one to pass it too

[BuSh24MiN]

umm yeah he does, jeff green, westbrook, and their 3rd draft pick will be good

[shaureb1]

he needs someone thats actually all-star material.

[aprilmarco]

Still nobody is saying anything.

[tiliman32]

yeah hes avging 25 ppg but putting on muscle is going to make him even better

look at durant hes a stick, putting on muscle will help him drive to the rim like lebron james

[aprilmarco]

Who the fuck cares when you are avg in 25 ppg your second year. Jordan was skinny and look at his career. This douse not mean he will be as good as Jordan, but portland fucked up by not picking him.

[kingnard17]

correction: jordan was skinny and weak when he came in league but during his career he gain weight and strength all while keeping his speed and agility

[DJNatey]

next jordan if youve seen his shooting fg from last year to this year you'd be shocked

[kingnard17]

lmao i aint sayin he the next jordan no way, jus sayin he needs to bulk up if he want to take his game to the next level......and yeah i know he has improved

[DJNatey]

i mean he has the tools to be the next jordan

[bigkahunaburger20]

30 5 5 shooting 50 40 90. thats basically whats hes gonna get next year

[cgreen39]

agreed

[742310]

dumbass obviously u dont kno wat u talkn bout u said sonics

[tooclutch20]

LOL the man looks like a confused 17 year old kid who is too big for his age, and his game is too big too. if he is dropping 25 a game, why are you still telling him to hit the weights. i understand he needs to get a lil bigger. but he is STILL dropping 25 or so a game, i'm pretty sure he is doing something right to be dropping 25 a game while still being a little skinny kid.

[atlscribe]

Dude is bringing in 25+ points a night, and people are still telling him to hit the weights. Idiots.

[LilMaxo4President]

increasing his strength is still the next step in his maturation. strengthening will make him a more durable player, and hopefully help him to get his buckets within the context of the sonic offense, rather than destroying their ball movement and flow the way he has since hes come back. the stats dont tell everything, even if they are great

[isaacdandn]

imagine how much he could bring in if he could actually bench 180

[zamlashim]

for some reason I think he will grow up to be the next T-Mac. I am pretty pretty darn sure about that. That step back move, straight outta Mac's arsenal

[funkyfro96]

lets all hope for KD's sake that is not the case

[zamlashim]

I understand what your saying.. but injuries are the physical aspects. How your body recovers from it... its different. Numerous people retired after micro-fracture surgery; yet Amare came back the very next season better and stronger. He is young .. so I really doubt he would have major injury flaws with him; what I was trying to say was his game fundamentals look a lot like Mac's. Better in some cases cause Mac was not this good at KD's age

[mjharleem]

man mcgrady was better than kd at the same age, he just didnt have the best opportunites,

[mjharleem]

we are not talking about mcgrady's success but his skills and how talented he is, thats a huge complement if you were to tell somebody that they could be the next t-mac., ohh and watch out for mcgrady next year if his knee is 1000 percent

[funkyfro96]

T-mac is a veteran who has achieved nothing substantial in his entire career, he's injury prone, never taken his team past the first round, and Oh ya his team is playing better without him right now. I also dont recall Tmac averaging 25 pts his second yr in the league, so you can take back your first comment as well. Let us all bow our head and pray that KD and Tmac never be mentioned in the same sentence again. AMEN.

[mjharleem]

yea anybody in there right mind knows t-mac wasnt 100%, and if you dont know that after seeing him go through a career threating surgery, then you dont have any sense. oh and by the way this rocket team is better than they were last year, and WITh a healthy t-mac this team could be in the finals, u seem to forget last year yao wasnt there and the year before that they didnt have artest. So stop with saying this team is beeter than t-mac, they are just good enough to get out of the first round

[mjharleem]

and by the way,KD will be lucky if people with ever say he has the same skills as t-mac, man t-mac has everything, and one thing kd lacks is he isnt a great passer like t-mac, and t-mac has way better handles. just wait till next year punk.

[Alriginal21]

haha!! amen

[KJelly3130]

Portland will get to the finals before the OKC Thunder will. Drafting Oden doesn't look like a better decision now but it will be in the long run.

[mikey45011]

portland is pissed right now

[kbaum222]

nice chicken legs bruh

[WMcDerm10]

what work out does this guy do

haha

[jlr00021]

he is bad as fuck, he will be a lebron james type .. very athletic tall .. once he matures and gets some more weight an gets stronger he will be an mvp and scoring champ, i cant wait to watch him develop over the years .. he is a stud

[DJNatey]

eh i would say he's not that he's more of a taller tracy mcgrady which still isnt bad at all he already is taking better shots so thats a huge plus

[noxzorz]

Yeah, but he'll need time to get his shooting back when he gained weight and muscles though, seriously, muscles can change one's shot so much it's incredible :P

[KingJizzy3]

Everyone talking about weight or some shit but the guy is really awesome right now ! And i don't think he is like a lazy guy , who doesn't want to go lifting some bars ... I think that he works his ass off each time he possibly can !

[AbbeyNO]

it's not easy to gain weight with the kind of body he has. i have the same type, i've been training for a few years now to get bigger, but it's very hard to become big with that body.

[Carsonm89]

he is a finesse player that can dunk his jumper is one of the best in the NBA for a forward

[amishbros]

wow

durant is fuckin gud for supposedly being one of the weakest players in the league

[okcthunder35]

also he is won of the best

[atrickpay11]

okcthunder: no doubt...the guy is vicious.

[okcthunder35]

haha hell yeh

[TehRealEveryName]

how old is this kid? he looks my age (im 18)

[richboievans385]

He was 19 then but he's 20 now

[TranswarpXL]

He was 18 then, he turned 19 in Sept 07' this is in June 07.

[obesedog23]

he is 20 yrs old

[CUBSFAN0000]

Durant's a beast.

[Longhorn98fan]

he went to texas, whats with the aggie colors?

[10qpalzmxncbv]

yeah, just think if he gained 50 lbs, he could play every position and lead the league in rebounding

well, he wouldn't be howard

[shardpiece]

Seriously, this guy would be raping every SF in the league if he gained 30 pounds of pure muscle.

[0pravy0]

Maybe except LBJ, he's damn strong. But KD can beat you of the dribble, can shoot, can dunk, he's skinny LeBron, or Kobe with no fadeaway, this guy is great.

An he's clutch! So young and so clutch, he is amazing... If he will keep improving, in next 5 years he should become a dominating player, who can lead his team to playoffs almost by himself.

Thunder will get a couple of draft picks and right after that, they will be ready for playoffs!

[chillpillvi22]

gaining fast muscle weight could take away from his shooting touch though

[Abandonednati0n]

he should start getting in the weight room

[ShietEverywhere]

wow did he say stabalization? stay in school bro, i think he mean stability lol :P

[coldman0727]

He's a lil kid!

[theserenitynow]

the face of the nba? haha too bad he plays in the same league as lebron

[J6TV]

he sssooooooooooooo skinny for an nba player

[chromenines]

too bad he's in the nba getting paid with millions of dollars and playing in front of thousands of people - while you here hating.

like bench pressing 180 really determine's a man's manhood.

[ANewBosnianKing]

AND what makes you better...?

I'd much rather keep my job right now and keep my respect than be known as a sorry bitch in the NBA

[chromenines]

well have fun scrubbing toilets or whatever it is you do.

and what respect are you talking about? how is he known as a sorry bitch when hes single handedly leading his team? cmon, he doesnt goto your job telling you, you're a talentless fuc-... oh wait, hes got better things to do then tell you what you suck at. lol

and im not even a fan, success gets the best out of every hater.

enjoy your haterade

[mattascular]

You're terrible at lying.

[stomachslapper]

no u wouldn't don't lie

[dcb592]

are u serious... durant is killing in the league.. and he'll be representing his country in the next summer olympics. im sure he could clear u out of the lane.

[ANewBosnianKing]

shows how smart you are.I guess in your world the Olympics happen every year right?

[TranswarpXL]

lol, you called dcb592 ignorant but you're the one who can't read, he said he would be representing his country in the next Summer Olympics, not the Olympics next summer.

Idiot.

[obesedog23]

hey, are you retarded??? dcb592 said he would be representin him "in the NEXT SUMMER OLYMPICS< NOT THE OLYMPICS NEXT SUMMER. has ur mom ever put a dunce cap on u and sent you to da corner???

[azelaer]

he's a skilled player

but damn son, hit the weight room!

Durant would be an even better SF if he had the size to bang down low and rebound

[Melo15xSTAT1]

hit the weights

[fuzzzy777]

I like his style its a lil diff from kobe workout but thats why i lit it old school, nothing wrong with Kobes workout either heh

[okcthunder35]

the next mj he was skinny when he started
