    Lifting / Basketball

    Hi guys,

    I am playing basketball this winter as an intramural and i just need some help on how to set up my training days, playing days, and off days.

    I will always have a basketball game at night on friday and in the afternoon on saturday. Sunday is always my off day since i watch football and do homework.

    My question is, how should i set up my training days? I was thinking about doing a full body 2x a week program. It would look like this.

    Monday - Full Body
    Tuesday - off
    Wednesday - Full Body
    Thursday - off
    Friday - game
    Saturday - game
    Sunday - off

    Monday

    Main lifts - Squat and Chinups
    Accessory lifts - Unilateral RDL, Seated OH Press, CG Seated Row, Face Pulls

    Wednesday

    Main lifts - Deadlift and Standing OH Press
    Accessory lifts - DB Bulgs/lunges/step-ups, WG Pulldowns, DB Bench, Farmer's Walk

    What do you guys think? How should i set up the loading parameters?

    What are your goals? Are you just looking to maintain size/strength while you play, or do you still want to try and make progress? Do you have basketball practices too?

    This is one sport that's hard to play when your heavy and bigger than your average person.

    I played my best basketball when I was slim, once I strated getting heavier the jump shots took a beating.

    My goal is to basically maintain size and strength. I am currently 185 pounds and probably around 12-13% BF. The only thing i would not like is to lose weight/muscle. I worked too hard for what i have now.

    That's so true. Because i am heavier and bigger than i was before, i am not as fast as i used to be and my shot game is off. I seem to be overshooting the ball a lot more and it's probably because of the increase in strength so i need to readjust to it again.

    Strength and the mass, if you notice a lot of pro BB don't have wide backs.
    You may see some with huge shoulders but I noticed having a bigger back screwed up my jump shot, instead of my elbows being close to my torso they were pushed further out.....very awkward.

    I would say that's fine then.

    What were you thinking in terms of loading parameters?

    Eh, i was just thinking like maybe alternating between a heavy, medium and light day?

    For example

    Week 1

    Monday - Main lifts (heavy) Accessory lifts (light)
    Wednesday - Main lifts (light) Accessory lifts (heavy)

    Week 2

    Monday - Main and accessory lifts (medium)
    Wednesday - Main and accessory lifts (medium)

    Week 3

    Monday - Main lifts (light) Accessory lifts (heavy)
    Wednesday - Main lifts (heavy) Accessory lifts (light)

    Repeat the cycle

    I was thinking the main lifts would generally be heavier. Isn't that why they are the "main lifts?"

    If you are guarding and he tries to drive but you have position and they run into you and bounce off.

    On light days, just unload the heavier stuff. For example, in my program I do 4x4 with 70% of my 1RM on my light days. For the accessory stuff I do 3x12 with 30sec RI with like 60-65% of my 1RM.
