Grabner is seriously jacked.
I remember looking at his Instagram a while ago and he did seem like a fitness freak, which surprised me because his name is never brought up when it comes to these things.
It kind of makes sense, though. Grabner's thing is his vertical speed, right? Unlike a lot of other hockey skills, straight-line speed comes down to some really simple mechanics. The only way to get as fast as Grabner is to have a completely ripped lower body and a lack of "drag" in your upper body (plus a lot of work on technique, obviously) and the only way to get there is fitness.
