Snoop Dogg has been documenting his workouts on social media over the last year, even showing off his impressive dunking ability.
Last year, a clip surfaced of Snoop taking off from the left baseline and throwing down a thunderous right-handed slam which sent everyone watching into a frenzy.

Snoop has been open about his desire to bulk up his sinewy frame. Last year, he exchanged words with Stephen A. Smith after the sports personality poked fun at his physique.
On an episode of Club Shay Shay, Shannon Sharpe invited Smith to lift weights with him, but the First Take host wasn’t having any of it.
“Come on, man. That’s like The Rock standing next to Snoop Dogg. We ain’t doing that,” Smith joked. “Snoop is my dawg, you know I love you, baby. I mean, come on now. I’m not doing that. I’m not getting in the gym with you.”
Smith eventually relented, saying: “You know what? I might do that. I’ma wait a few months though. I’m not gon’ do that just yet.”

Snoop Dogg caught wind of Stephen A.’s comments and responded on Instagram, saying he intends to use his words as inspiration to beef up.
“@stephenasmith @shannonsharpe84 I’m getting my weight up so when I come on the show will talk about,” Snoop wrote underneath a shirtless photo of him on stage. “Thanks 4 the motivation.”
