Also taking his last day in the gym was Magnolia’s Alvin Abundo, who performed a deadlift at the ABRAGA Fitness Center in Parañaque.
Abundo, together with former Hotshots teammates Aldrech Ramos (Terrafirma) and Bambam Gamalinda (San Miguel), put up the ABRAGA gym in 2019 with an aim of helping fellow athletes attain their fitness goals.
Magnolia’s backcourt duo of Mark Barroca and Jio Jalalon, Phoenix’s Justin Chua, Alaska’s Rodney Brondial and Meralco’s John Pinto, among others, recently had their sessions with Nicolo Chua, the man behind the Simple Grind basketball and fitness training.
