Basketball Training - Advanced Finishing Moves
Being a great basketball player these days is almost as much about strength training and physical conditioning as it is about skill and finesse. The player who has the stamina and strength to continue to hustle late in the game is the one that coaches want on their teams, and scouts want on their books.
Building muscle mass, and getting stronger and quicker is the secret to really holding your own on the court, especially down in the key. For this reason it is essential to make basketball weight training programs a major part of your training schedule, both off-season and on.
To increase strength and gain muscle mass there are 3 major factors to consider and make part of your regular basketball weight training programs. Focusing on these will help you to see much faster muscle gains than most of your competition, particularly if you are a skinny guy.
Heavy Weights
One of the most important aspects of any basketball weight training program is the need to be using heavy weights, and by this I mean using weights that make your final reps almost impossible to complete.
This technique of Progressive Overload is a proven technique to help skinny guys pack on muscle fast, and keeps the gains consistent as your body is not allowed the chance to “get used” to the training. This prevents a plateau in your strength gains.
A Good Vertical Program Will Show You The Correct Way To Do Vertical Jump Exercises
For instance, a bodybuilder may have a lot of strength, he may be able to squat a thousand pounds. But this bodybuilder has to do it slowly with the rise up and down. That’s not going to create explosion.
That’s not going to create a vertical jump. So what a good vertical program does, is it shows you which vertical jump exercises actually train your explosion and not your jumping endurance. I really hope you understand that, because I spent years getting mediocre results, and if I would have been doing these same drills for years, I don’t know what level I’d be at.
Yoga is a great way to help to stretch any tight muscles and it could well be worth spending a little time to pick up some yoga stretching moves and use these as part of your training on vertical jump routine.
If you really wish to make improvements to your over all game and specifically to your basketball vertical jump, then you need to commit to a good exercise program. For more information there are always a number of excellent resources available to you on the internet
