True ... though being well nourished enough to add muscle mass is relatively easy, that is a very simple tissue predominantly composed of protein and eating lots of protein with some other basics is half the battle. More complex tissues like joints (cartilage, tendons, ligaments, bone) for which the main nutrients are lacking in most people's diets, need more careful attention and effort. It's connective tissue where the injuries are usually concentrated, and that's not a coincidence. Just think about what people eat: "meat" which is muscle, they don't eat connective tissue which is only palatable after long cooking into soups and stews to make gelatin. They get the nutrients for muscle, it is the nutrients they never eat that are missing.

But since it's so easy to add muscle, it does suggest severe malpractice under KO's regime that the players didn't add muscle. I can't believe they weren't lifting. It's more likely there weren't tending to other ingredients of success.
