Stephen Curry is known for his intense workout regimen, which properly conditions his body to carry the Golden State Warriors. Steph’s workout routine is known to be quite hard, with many succumbing within 5 minutes of trying the same. He is pretty well aware that people do not have the ‘superhuman’ capabilities to withstand his intensive workout routine. Speaking about the same, Draymond Green on Podcast P revealed how Chef Curry would often alter, or rather dumb down his workout to match with his fellow Warriors counterparts.

When we say Steph’s workout is not for everyone, there is quite some evidence to back this fact. As revealed by his trainer Brandon Payne, one NBA player reportedly threw up within 5 minutes while following Curry’s workout routine. The nameless player, as per Payne, was one of good caliber and potential in the league. Perhaps such a hard and rigorous workout routine is the elixir behind Chef Curry cooking the opponent teams with his jump shots and three-pointers.
Draymond Green reveals how Stephen Curry often dumbs down his workout with his Warriors teammates
Stephen Curry was often ridiculed for his lean figure, which many people used as a factor for doubting his potential. Over the years, Curry’s workout routine has evolved to a session every five or six days a week, with one or two days off. His workout plan mostly includes bench presses for his chest, seated rows, and dumbbell hammer curls for his biceps and triceps. This has helped him gain considerable muscle mass, which further improved his game and performance on the court.
Such a workout regimen definitely requires much patience and tolerance that many people cannot withstand. Therefore, when working out with his team, Steph Curry likes to take things lightly and dumb himself down to the level of his other teammates. Revealing Steph’s workout routine alongside the team, Draymond Green said,
“When people work out with him [Stephen Curry], like I watch him dumb his workout down. Like when guys will go, they know they won’t workout with Steph. If you go down there today, and I’ll watch him like dumb his workout down. He dumb his workout down often.”
Stephen Curry, despite following such a rigorous routine, does try to fit in alongside the other people who cannot match his fitness prowess. Though conditioning the body is a priority for Steph, recovery is as crucial for the four-time NBA champion. Curry spends an adequate amount of time performing stretching exercises like soft tissue restoration and yoga.
Curry gained 15 pounds of muscle following his unanimous MVP season
Stephen Curry is always striving to achieve bodily perfection, even at the age of 35. Since his unanimous MVP season, Curry has reportedly put on around 15 pounds of muscle. To credit all of that, he calls upon his wife Ayesha Curry’s cooking and his fitness regimen.
From being an injury-prone player to one of the league’s fittest, Steph Curry has definitely evolved over the years. Last season, the Warriors were struggling with one of the worst on-road records. However, thanks to Steph Curry’s brilliance, they progressed to the playoffs. The Warriors were eventually defeated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semi-finals.
