A few weeks later, against the Spurs, he combines another of his own: here the deadlift takes place even further away, increasing the difficulty not only of crushing, but even of simply getting to the iron. Not for Morant, who seems to be wearing the boots of the seven leagues: his elevation is sensational and seems to hang in the air for a moment, as if the rules of gravity didn’t apply to him. Even more astonishing considering that poor Jakob Poeltl, who is not exactly a twig (he is 2.16 meters tall!), Going into contrast is literally overwhelmed by the momentum of the Memphis elf.

Obviously, to push his verticality to the maximum, Morant’s workouts often focus on exercises with the legs, such as hops on one leg between an obstacle and the other and repetitions of jumps, always on one leg, along a path of Chinese people.
His diet includes proteins, vitamins, omega 3, carbohydrates. But his diet is quite varied: Morant makes no secret of eating family cuisine with gusto, including lasagna, chicken wings, ribs. Her pre-workout meals include protein intake through smoothies, eggs, almond milk. At lunch she can vary between pasta and white meat, often accompanied by vegetables, while at dinner she can opt for steak or fish.
