Estéban Lepaul’s physique transformed at Rennes after tailored strength work | OneFootball

Once slight, Rennes striker Estéban Lepaul has added significant muscle since arriving last summer, following a tailored strengthening plan. He is due at Angers on Sunday at 17:15.

According to L'Équipe, the targeted work has left him far sturdier than during his Lyon academy years.

On 30 August against Le Mans, a 3-2, he took off his shirt after scoring Rennes’ third, which brought a booking.

Marc Laurent, a former defender and one-time Épinal team-mate, joked that Lepaul’s triceps looked ready to leap from the screen and that he now appears solid.

At 26, he no longer resembles the frail forward he once was in Lyon, a change underlined by his recent celebrations and physical presence.
