The main reason why hoopers don’t like lifting is because it messes up their shot mechanics. Especially after lifting hard, when muscle fibers begin tearing, it disrupts muscle memory and temporarily offsets regular shooting habits. It’s a tough sacrifice, but if you wanna get big, you have to set aside your ego and work through the misses.
Soreness usually goes away after your muscles are used to lifting heavy. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but you should lift MORE if you wanna stop being sore every time you lift. So avoiding lifting because it gets you sore is backwards thinking. You’ll be sore for the first week or so, but after that, as long as you’re sleeping and eating enough, it’s no longer a problem the next day.
@@AClaidermanSoreness will eventually go away, but muscle fibers still tear, just not to the extent that causes noticeable soreness. Even if you don’t feel sore, your muscle memory is still affected. I will work out hard one day and the next day I won’t be sore, but my shot is unusually off. Bricking most shots by inches. The day afterwards my shot is naturally more consistent. My form flows better. I’ve tested this many times and I’ve found that I shoot most consistently when I’m taking time away from the gym. It’s no surprise why basketball players (particularly guards) aren’t yoked; they can’t afford to sacrifice accuracy for considerable size.
@@noahcote866 I mean if you’re talking NBA players. They all lift. They’re not yoked because training for muscle and training for strength are different things. But they all lift heavy, they just have a much better recovery regimen than we do, massages, sauna, ice bath, etc. However for regular hoopers, I’d wager it’s an individual thing. I’ve not had this issue you’re describing, and my team even in high school, was always in the weight room a couple of times a week.
I’ve been working out since 13 and now I’m 17. I can confirm that I have a huge advantage because of my strength and I’m a guard. It makes everything easier for you and harder for the opponent
@@kyzz21 appreciate you. I usually do a legs push pull and full body 4th day so I can hit everything 2x a week. I’m trying to introduce plyometrics on my 5th day.
My problem is that when I hit upper body I’m sore the next day and I have to change my shooting form, then I’m in a constant loop of changing shot form because of how I work out
you just have to not play unfortunately, resist the urge and make a schedule of days that you focus on different aspects and which days you can play. if not in season only play like once a week and workouts the rest of the time, plyos, weights, etc.
Same thing happened to me so what i would do was do my shooting workout before the workout and after do shoulder stretches and then would do form shooting after and just shooting around for 10-15 minutes
Not resting in-between sets is not an optimal way to train. You want to lift close to failure during working sets but you need rest to allow yourself to do the most meaningful reps possible during those sets. Always give yourself at least 30 seconds to 1 minute at bare minimum.
You shouldn't promote heavy incline if they can't get full range of motion. You are asking for an injury training only the upper range for strength. The moment your triceps give out, your underdeveloped upper chest will take the load which can result in a strain.
@@monkgaming4625 if you’re squatting like 225-230 you shouldn’t have to do a billion to see a difference They are not the perfect exercise but they help
calisthenics for the upper body is the best thing you can do because it is extremely fuctional and the lower body is great if you a beginner but eventually going to need weights once it gets too easy
it's not bodybuilding functional training training based on the function of your sport so this great thing also full range of motion is based on your own anthropometry
As an athlete u should focus on compound movements. The reason bodybuilders split like how u said is because of the amount of exercises and isolations that they do for the same group of muscles. When it comes to sport, training like a bodybuilder wont bring u anything.
I respect your content a lot but That’s just not good no mainly shoulder movements also bicep curls are not important in the slightest and should be doing athletic exercises not these exercises meant for bodybuilding and stuff
full range of motion is based on your own anthropometry also these are compound functional training based on the function of sport so this will definitely help you in your sport
Workout gives you soo much better control of ball movement! 😊

@@AClaiderman true 🤌🏼 just lift 3 times a week full body and you'll be ok

@@AClaiderman makes sense. If you’re lifting only a couple times a week with your high school team it makes sense you wouldn’t be affected

I must be the only hooper who love lifting
Nah same here. But im also a Personal Trainer so it wouldnt make sense not to lol
I'm still skinny asf but I still work out for basketball
@@DZlegendking if i may ask what is your routine 🙏,would love also to know if you do plyometrics and on what days❤️,Bless ya king
@@kyzz21 appreciate you. I usually do a legs push pull and full body 4th day so I can hit everything 2x a week. I’m trying to introduce plyometrics on my 5th day.
Your not alone twinneroini
what are the sets and reps

@@R1zing ight bet
you can 100% shoot on upper body days. Just shoot before
@@keithpoitierperformance yeah that too

yup 100% rest 2-3min between compound and 1-2 min between isolation

nope full range of motion is based on your own anthropometry
Is calisthenics effective when it comes to enhancing basketball gameplay?
Depends for example pull ups are good but squats no so much
@@monkgaming4625 why would you not squat? squat for explosiveness
@@ry_an. because youd need to do hundreds of squats to see a difference
@@monkgaming4625 if you’re squatting like 225-230 you shouldn’t have to do a billion to see a difference

calisthenics for the upper body is the best thing you can do because it is extremely fuctional and the lower body is great if you a beginner but eventually going to need weights once it gets too easy
HUGE change i would make
Rows are easier than Pullups
Do alternate push/pull
i.e.
Pushups superset w/ Pullups or lat pd
Incline press w/rows
what if u dont have a gym or any equipment
Is half ppl split with 2 days of plyometrics and an additional push workout worth it or should I do something else for ball?
Im 17 6ft i just started going to the gym i wanna put on muscle and increase my strength any workout plan ???
just get stronger in the gym
I’m actually probably the one basketball player that loves lifting lol
Can we do horizontal rows with plates or dbs?
yeah works the same muscles so that is fine
What if we don’t have a gym to workout in
Try push up, pull up, pike push up
Bro why there is no shoulder exercise can you explain?
He just forgot😂
shoulders can ruin your jump shot and there's actually research on it
How bout pushups?
That’s for centers
And Point Guards and Shooting Guards and Small Fowards and Power Fowards
Do basketball players really hate lifting? Why?
Messes with our form
@@TheDeadpool-v5t fr if u do upper body then hoop the ball be feeling like a helium filled ballon
myth
@@BallKnower24 facts
its not hating it js you shouldn’t workout before you hoop is what he bc it will mess with your shooting
Broš hands were shaking
Bro’s pushing himself
if your hands arent shaking youre not pushing
RANGE OF MOTION IS KEY YOU JUST WERE GOING HALFWAY DOWN/LOWER THE WEIGHT YOUR NOT A BODYBUILDER ATHLETICISM IS KEY
I understand/get your point king,but going on a heavy phase will give you strength🙏,that is why 6-10 is the rep range
it's not bodybuilding functional training training based on the function of your sport so this great thing also full range of motion is based on your own anthropometry
Chin up instead pull up
Said basketball strong 💀 lmao
????
hes not wrong
Why you have more muscles at one session? Chest and back should be in different sessions. Pull= back and bicep and push=chest and triceps
Not for basketball
@@matissedemetsenaere1383 so basketball players should have the same upper body workout with different muscles at one?
As an athlete u should focus on compound movements. The reason bodybuilders split like how u said is because of the amount of exercises and isolations that they do for the same group of muscles. When it comes to sport, training like a bodybuilder wont bring u anything.
@@sorinoliniuc7023 ok, thank you!
isolating is detrimental. why would you not work out all of your body componenets in sync
Wrestling > basketball

you need enough muscle to absorb contact
