The counter to this of course is that Dustin Byfuglien's non-training program in the offseason doesn't seem to be working for him either having lost multiple games in each of the past two seasons. Let's just assume there's a middle ground here - somewhere between the salad and the buffet, between gym sweat and night sweats.
