Marcus Paige devoted to offseason weight training

Posted Jul 7, 2013
Under the guidance of UNC strength and conditioning coordinator Jonas Sahratian, Marcus Paige is on a fairly steady weight gain, already up to 171 pounds. He’s eating six times a day, and Sahratian has Paige on a weight-lifting regimen that is increasing his explosiveness. Eating six times a day is easier said than done, of course, but it’s been easier for Paige now that he’s seeing the results. (Fox Sports Carolinas)
