The 2nd picture! Looks at those muscles!
He's so handsome.
What weight gain? The guy is muscular. He eats less, bye-bye endurance since he is not 17 any more.There is enough criticism about Andrei's weight gain. But this is normal for the end of the season, when all athletes begin to lose their form, it is necessary to give the body a rest. In addition, Andrei copes well with the quads in the show and in this form, and it does not interfere with sliding, he almost does not touch the ice, flutters like a butterfly. I am very much looking forward to see him live at the show in Omsk, I hope my plans come true.

It's sick and it's ignorant, and Mozalev already had that announced weight loss attempt after Olympics. I am not a big fan of the 'lose 5 lbs' as a panacea to every problem in FS, and if that doesn't work, lose 10... Mozalev being Mozalev, he is likely to try, and if he does, it is safer if he gives it a rest off-season. But, like, the thing is, they are taking off mostly muscular mass, not some excessive body fat.It's also pretty sick to critisize an athlete for weight gains anyway... unless one is his coach and has legitimate reasons, but then it still shouldn't happen in public. There are enough eating disorders around in sports.

Andrei's system of physical training involves, among other things, working on increasing muscle mass (not as a bodybuilder, of course, to the extent necessary for a figure skater). Watching him and Arseniy Dimitriev, his training companion, I can note that their bodies have changed significantly during the time that they work with this physical training coach (Davydenko's other skaters are still in their formative teenage years, it is difficult to judge the changes there). They've both become much more muscular and trim, they've lost some of their looseness. I think the weight loss was not due to muscle mass, but rather due to the rapid removal of water from the body or something like that.But, like, the thing is, they are taking off mostly muscular mass, not some excessive body fat.
At his BF% (or any skater), it is anatomically impossible to not lose muscular mass when losing weight. Their regimen aims to preserve as much of MM as possible, while dropping them to single digits BF. It's not that he gains bulk, it's that it's easier to see definition. That's what cut is all about and it's a dangerous game when it is sustained for this long, because canibalizing on muscular mass is inevitable. The simplest explanation why he is losing control by mid program is because he dropped too low, went too long too underweight and it impacts his energy level and endurance.Andrei's system of physical training involves, among other things, working on increasing muscle mass (not as a bodybuilder, of course, to the extent necessary for a figure skater).
