Luka Doncic’s Transformed Physique Graces Men’s Health Cover

Los Angeles Lakers’ star player, Luka Doncic, graces the August issue of Men’s Health magazine, unveiling a notably leaner body and chronicling his arduous offseason training regimen aimed at escalating both his athletic prowess and physique.

With the headline, “Luka Dončić 2.0 Has Entered the Chat,” this five-time NBA All-Star breaks down how he transformed his body in recent months. His new regime includes a gluten-free, low-sugar diet, consuming over 250 grams of protein daily, and dual daily workouts under his Team Luka, comprised of his physiotherapist, trainer, and nutritionist.

Quoted by Men’s Health, Doncic said, “If I stop now, it was all for nothing.” He further adds, “Just visually, I would say my whole body looks better.”

The notable body transformation follows criticisms he faced earlier this year about his conditioning. This came after a midseason trade from the Dallas Mavericks to the Lakers. During that period, sports commentators and team executives questioned Doncic’s weight and fitness, with some suggesting he should follow LeBron James’ renowned commitment to physical upkeep.

Along with the visual changes, Men’s Health magazine provides an inside look into one of his offseason workouts in Croatia. This involved a 90-minute fasted session that combined weight training, agility drills, and court shooting, followed by a protein-rich almond milk shake.

As he preps for his first full season with the Lakers, Doncic seems intent on matching his immense basketball ability with a heightened level of fitness. Fans and analysts are eagerly waiting to see if this upgraded “Luka 2.0” delivers a championship-caliber season.
