Rebound and facilitate!David Martinez with that prime Rondo stat line.
Post it here!
Always ignore the weight and just focus on having perfect form. As soon as you can do however many reps/sets with perfect form and not feel sore the next day, that’s your signal to up the weight for the next workout.Yea I've never been one to hit the weights. My thing is to do morning stretching and light exercises... and trying to keep that consistent. I'm a slim fella... always have been. So like the second slide... I can do that. And for the first one.. can I use 20lb dumbbells instead?
Definitely, even body weight is a good place to start with these. I was never naturally athletic so it was all built in the lab lol. My vert is mid 30s but my standing reach is a sad 7”6 lol. Can get my wrist over the rim without a ball but can’t really palm one or dunk.Yea I've never been one to hit the weights.

Yeah the key is long term progression. That can either be more weight, more reps, slower reps, more sets , shorter rest periods or any combination of it all.Always ignore the weight and just focus on having perfect form.

Yeah I do 2 leg days a week plus a track / plyo day. Used to do a lot more upper body stuff when I was younger but I’ve let my chest and stuff shrink a bit because it’s not very functional for hoops. It was kind of nice to be swole though lol.I'm in my mid-30's and I absolutely love training legs now. I used to neglect them when I was younger because leg workouts interfered with basketball days.
What also motivates me is being able to out play the young cats and throw down the occasional dunk.. never thought I'd do that at my age.
Ik we’ve talked abt this before and I was tryna find the convo but I lost it.Yeah I do 2 leg days a week plus a track / plyo day.

Yeah I get told that a lot6’2 150 is pretty skinny
I prolly play like once a week. During the regular season I’ll be at practice or playing/games at least 4 times a weekDepending on how much basketball you’re playing right now in the off season, I’d do one weight workout every 5 days and a jump session / on the court stuff every 3 days.

Mix it up with high skips, ball taps on the backboard, broad jumps, lunge jumps and sprints. Then just practice dunking, lower the rim a bit if you need to.
6’2 150 is pretty skinny, I think 10-15 pounds of muscle in the right places would transform you big time. I’m 6 foot 185-190.
Thanks man, any questions just ask. I’m stuck at home with the newborn and having hoop’s withdrawal haha. Wearing my ball is life tee and Kobe’s so I don’t slip in the kitchen.
Which beans is Bryce wearing
Skinny. .... I take offense to that lol. I'm 6'1 with kicks since HS and I mentioned earlier, slim. For me I was my most athletic between '06-'08 with playing ball religiously from start of undergrad in 03 through 2013 and was able to dunk only because I hooped so much... did absolutely no working out. Once that hooping slowed down.. so did my hops to dunk lol. Last successfully dunked summer '07... 14 Str Y leagueDepending on how much basketball you’re playing right now in the off season, I’d do one weight workout every 5 days and a jump session / on the court stuff every 3 days.

Jumping and playing ball is still the best way to increase bounce! The strength training is mainly to help boost that and improve durability.Skinny. .... I take offense to that lol.

Yea man. Miss those days. And I was def no high flyer but I could stuff a one handed dunk.Jumping and playing ball is still the best way to increase bounce! The strength training is mainly to help boost that and improve durability.
Are you a one foot or two foot jumper?
I'm a 2 foot dunker, that's the only way I've been able to dunk so far. But only in layup lines and open gyms1 foot jumping is relies more on ankle, hamstring and glute strength while 2 foot jumping is more quad dominant. Most 1 foot jumpers can become good 2 foot jumpers but the opposite is harder.
High skips, one leg step ups, and knee drives to strengthen the hip flexors will get your 1 foot leap
Back up there!
"In the right places"?

Funny enough, there's studies that say quarter squats actually help with explosiveness more. If you ever seen lebron do squats they look like he's thottin it up in the gym but it actually helps for jumping.Just wanted to butt into the convo ya'll having
Adding barbell squats to your strength training on top of just hooping often helps immensely with bounce. I'm not talking about high rep squats, I'm talking about pushing weight where you can only get 5 reps out max - *** to grass, none of those quarter squats.
I'm under 6 feet, and in my 20s I was able to grab rim with both hands from a dead stop position right under the rim. I attribute that to squats and biking everywhere.
It was fun to see the shocked look on people's faces when I would do that while warming up because I guess I don't look like I have bunnies. Asking me to do that again . But these days I'm just trying not to cramp up playing defense and am no where near touching the rim....
Getting old is a *****.
