Routine A -

M - Chest/Abs
T - Back AM / Basketball Training PM
W - Basketball Game
T - Guns (Shoulders/Arms)
F - Rest
S - Legs/Abs + Light Bench/Rows (dynamic westside style)
S - Rest (and maybe some light basketball training)

Routine B -

M - Chest/Back
T - Basketball Training
W - Game
T - Guns
F - Rest
S - Legs/Abs + Light Bench/Rows
S - Rest (maybe light bball)

Routine C -

M - Back/Abs
T - Basketball Training
W - Game
T - Guns
F - Legs/Abs
S - Rest
S - Chest

so what do you guys reckon? I could hit arms on chest and back days but hitting tris before playin ball is not a good idea! so i need to try n' keep arms the day after my game, and legs also needs to be after obviously!

I'm happy to stick with routine A which is what i'm on now, just hope i'm not overdoing it from mon-thurs, if they all look real shit i might have to take a year off ball as my priority this year is to get big, once i'm as big as i want the lifting won't matter so much to me, plus i'm just on creatine and glutamine right now, not started juice yet so no working out for 2 hours twice a day and making massive gains yet!

thanks

hey young d what time does your basketball game start and end? or is it pm too?

I like routine C because it separates your push muscles furthest from your basketball practice and games, which is important to maintain an accurate shot.

As well, I don't like the idea of training chest and back on the same day, as outlined in routine B.

my basketball training/game is usually in the morning mon,wed,fri,sat

so my routine goes like this
monday - a.m basketball
p.m chest/shoulders

wednesday - a.m basketball
- p.m power/olympic lifts 5x5 squats/cleans etc./ arms

friday - a.m basketball
- p.m back

sat. p.m basketball
p.m hamstrings

p.s i always try to get some nap in the middle of the day. eat plenty of good food. whey protien is your best buddy here. creatine helps speed recovery. a multi vitamin. pcygenol some sort of anti oxidant. and stretch after every basketball game.

your can see i didnt do anything much for my quads besdies the power squats,lunges and some leg extension bcos they're quite big already! they're 24' but my hams are lagging thus making me eaiser to get injured and they make me improve in my speed too(turnover rate). during basketball practise i sprint alot too, just to bring my hams up and some good spd couldn't hurt.

as you can see in the above post. if your training/game is in p.m surely you can do your weight lifting AFTER it, like i did.=)

Its pretty funny to lift then go and try to shoot a basketball. Half of the time I dont make the ball half way to the rim with the first shot lol.
