We all know that Gareth Bale is already one hell of an athlete, but this picture of him at Real Madrid training suggests that he spent his time off over the summer hitting the gym.
Garteh Bale never ceases to amaze on the football pitch from a physical perspective (we all remember that goal from the Copa del Rey final), but that clearly hasn't lessened his motivation to be the best athlete out there over the summer if these pictures are anything to go by.

Here he is twelve months ago completing his medical at Madrid:
And here he is at training yesterday, looking significantly more buff:
The tan definitely helps, but still, dem gunz...
Looking at the second picture where he's at one of the best facilities in the world, playing for a historic club and is not as pasty or weak looking as the first, it makes you wonder why he moved to Madrid at all, doesn't it?
