Don't even bother going with high reps for basketball. You gotta be strong as heck to battle in the paint. Work on developing strength in squats (parallel or past) and deadlifts, and once you can lift a sufficient amount (around 1.5x bodyweight squats and 2x bodyweight deadlifts), then you can work on power by doing your squat and deadlifts as fast as possible with good form to work on explosion.Originally Posted by 10 Piece Nuggets
Working out legs question:
If my goal is to be faster/jump higher/be more "planted" to stand my ground while playing basketball, how should I work out my legs? High weight, low reps? Low weight high reps? Or medium/heavy weight 6-8 reps?
