Many around the Lakers organization including the players are interested in knowing how Kobe Bryant was able to sharpen up his game after being cleared to return only a few weeks ago.
During an in-depth sit down with Lakers Index, Bryant discussed in small details a series of anytime workouts he dubbed the secretive “blackout” workouts.
Bryant said he has been going through these secret workouts in recent weeks to shape up before his return to game action.
“My training has no time restrictions in terms of when I do them,” Bryant said. “I can do them at 2 o’clock in the morning, 3 o’clock, it doesn’t matter. You just got to do them. The blackout is very intense. It’s a huge commitment. It’s 6-in-the-morning stuff and then take the kids to school and then go do another session with weights and shooting and practice, and then after that do some more practice. It’s an ongoing thing, and throughout all of that you have to take care of your body and take care of the knickknack injuries that may arise. It’s intense, but it’s fun.”
Bryant backed up this story by telling reporters Friday that he had planned on going through multiple workouts on his own the next couple of days while the team is in Sacramento as he continues to work toward a return.
