Jacob Hester

Chargers Fullback, Jacob Hester, will enter the 2009-2010 season with more meat added to his frame. While his teammates slimmed down for the summer and took a dip in their bathing suits, Hester was gobbling everything in sight. The fullback said it was easy gaining the weight. You go home and have your wife cook and then devour the food until you can’t eat anymore. The fullback continued to say that you have to work out like crazy and try to turn the weight into muscle. Hester had to watch his diet to maintain the weight he wanted. He was also careful not to gain too much weight. “There was a time this offseason when I was trying to gain a bunch of muscle for playing fullback,” Hester said last week. “But I got to a point where they stopped me and said, ‘Don’t forget that you still need to run the ball a little bit,’ which meant they didn’t want me to gain too much weight.” Hester played last year at 5-foot-11, 225 pounds. He now weights in at 240 pounds and looks forward in clearing the lanes for LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles.
