Thread: Summer University Basketball Program

Hey everyone! I have been playing basketball for quite some time now and I just have started my workout that I got in the mail a few weeks ago. I am 6'6 and around 200 lbs. Just looking for your input on my schedule and what I may be doing too much or too little of.

Monday
Bench press - Reps - 10/8/8/6/6 -- Weight- 135/135/125/125/125

Incline DB press- 8/8/8--30lb dumbells each set

Flys--8/8/8- I use a machine- 110

Military press (DB)-- 8/8/8-- 30 each set

Upright rows - 8/8/8-- I have been doing cuban press?? 60 lbs total

lateral raises- 8/8/8 - 15 lb dumbells each set

Nose Breakers- 8/8/8 -- haven't found my good weight yet but 40 lb dumbell seems a little light

Push downs---Wondering what these are???

Dips- 3 sets of 8- Thinking of adding weight to my lap. Any other ideas on these?

Well that is just Monday and it seems like a lot to read over. If some of you more experienced people could let me know how good this looks and what I could be doing in place?? I do a few curl exercises on tuesdays with my leg workout so don't worry! I will post up the rest later on when I get some feedback on this day.

My goal right now is to be at around 225 or 235 in weight. Not any kind of body fat though since I am more of a quick post player. That is one of my advantages I have going for me. I played against a kid in my league who was 6'8 and 280 pounds. I ran circles around him and do not want to get to that stage where I am slowed down by fat. I mainly want to have an increase in definition which I have noticed since I started lifting this summer because of a short break from lifting. I also am planning on trying any kind of supplement that would not be detrimental to my health that could help with giving me some good results.

Here is my upper body workout for thursday. We will just stick with ideas on upper body for now.

Bench--reps- 15/15/15-- weight 115/115/115

DB incline press-15/15/15- 30/25/25

Flys-- 15/15/15- 90/90/90

DB Military - 15/15/15 - 20/20/20

Upright rows- 15/15/15 - 115 on a row machine

Shoulder fly (3 way)- 8/8/8- 15/15/15

Nose Breakers(db) - wondering what these are?

Pull downs- 15/15/15 - 110/110/110

dips - 2 sets of 15.

I have also noticed that I have more muscle in my lower pectoral region but the upper part, closer to my collar bone, is non existant. Is there something I could do to get that development started?
