Mike Bibby says NBA teams wouldn't let him get too jacked

Now that he's out of the NBA, Mike Bibby is free to lift as much as he wants.

The former Sacramento Kings star and current BIG3 player, who was pictured looking very jacked last month, told GQ's Christopher Cason that he's always been muscular, but NBA teams preferred him on the slimmer side.

"I've always had this build, and I've always loved lifting weights - it's just that when I played, teams didn't want me to lift heavy like that. Every summer when I came back for training camp, teams would always get mad because they said I looked like a linebacker. So it was just always just one set here, one set there - that was all the lifting I did.

"Once I retired, I had all the time in the world. Now I can lift heavier. I drop my kids off at school, and I'm at the gym until they have to get picked up. Plus, think about it - no one is really going to want to train with me if I'm 300 pounds and can't get through a workout. I have to make sure I'm getting right for my next coaching job."

Bibby also offered some insight into his workout regimen.

"I do full-body lifts - three days a week with weights, and two days with bands. That's for about two or three hours. Then I'll go to the gym and work out, shoot, or play. I'll take a little break, and then later in the day, I'll go back in the gym for more shooting, footwork drills, and things like that. And then volleyball," he said. "My day doesn't stop until about 10 or 11 at night."
