The hardest work is sometimes conducted in the offseason, far from the public eye.
Athletes reshape their bodies -- and sometimes must lose weight before adding it back via muscle building to properly develop their physique over a course of several months or more than a year -- with the help of a strict diet and a training schedule in the weight room.
Big changes can be made in only a few months, too, as you'll see in the roster Auburn updated recently. AL.com examined the new roster -- as we did last spring -- and compared it to a list that was provided to AL.com on March 11. We knew at the time heights and weights had not been updated since the fall, so changes were on the way (especially for the eight newcomers who arrived in December and January).
The most notable changes? Offensive guard Jordan Diamond dropped 14 pounds and offensive tackle Braden Smith dropped 13. In fact, four offensive linemen on the two-deep depth chart dropped six pounds or more.
Running back Jovon Robinson has dropped five pounds to weigh 230, and receiver Jason Smith shed seven pounds to come in at 178.
You'll see that a walkon lost 45 pounds as well. Long snapper Ike Powell also lost 20.
You'll also notice the biggest bumps in weight were on defense, where Will Muschamp takes over as coordinator. Junior defensive back Joe Turner added 20 pounds to weigh 185.
While the offensive line dropped weight, the defensive line added weight. Four players in the two-deep added 10 pounds or more. Redshirt freshman Andrew Williams (270) added 19 pounds to his frame and junior defensive end Elijah Daniel (282) bulked up an additional 10 pounds.

The tight end spot is in need of some bulk, too, so Chris Laye and Greg Hall added 13 pounds apiece.
