Get hench, jump higher, and move quicker on the basketball court, with this weight training program for basketball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, you’re strength and conditioning should be periodised, with a different pre-season training program, for example, compared to in-season. The program shown here is a general one and should be modified according to other activity levels and your own strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm Up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try and increase your body temperature to avoid injuries. Start with 5 to 10 minutes of steady state, low-impact cardio and then add some dynamic stretches and mobility exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before each set, perform 2 or 3 warm-up sets with a light weight before working up to your “working sets”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plyometrics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plyometrics are an excellent form of exercise for sports like basketball. They do however carry a relatively high risk of injury. So make sure your body is warm and you are well rested the day before, before attempting this type of explosive exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olympic Lifts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with plyometrics, Olympic lifts such as clean and presses and snatches are excellent for developing power. They are highly technical however and also carry a high risk of injury. Instead, hex bar\/trap bar jump and high pulls have been included as they are relatively simple to perform, yet highly effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotator Cuff Exercises<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotator cuff exercises can help prevent shoulder injuries by strengthening the muscles that help keep the shoulder joint in place. This is important for injury prevention when playing basketball and when lifting weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look to change the volume up during the off-season and reduce it slightly, perhaps training just 2 days a week during the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can easily vary the exercises by using kettlebells for high pulls, adding some resistance band exercises and changing up the reps and weights. I like to keep the first exercise the same for extended periods, to monitor progression and have some kind of progressive resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretching<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also suggest, stretching every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are stuck for time, “The World’s Greatest” stretch is a good all-rounder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program Exercises<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some of the exercises in the program, are shown in the videos below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dumbell Floor Press<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer barbell and barbell or dumbbell bench press, then feel free to replace the floor press. The only thing I don’t like about full or normal bench press, is the stress is can place on your shoulders, especially if your form is a bit off. I personally like kettlebell floor press, because it’s easier to grap the handle, which is already elevated off the floor slightly – it can be tricky with a dumbbell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
