Sold on the lots of submax reps. Will do it Also spinning on the defender pinning him with your elbows on the catch to the entry pass into into post. Can't wait to try that one out..
Maybe im just comparing to my late 20s when it seemed like it was a lot easier to make gains. I'm not seeing much improvement now, maybe just happy to reach previous levels but as far as surpassing them, not really happening.
Vag I had no idea you were older than me! That's news to me. I thought you were like 32-33. I reckon im gonna get close to getting to that 2xbw this summer. I hit 145kg with a belt and since then i'm stronger, so maybe its gone up to 150kg now - but im also lighter. 160 @80kg is on the cards if i can keep myself on track. Life is getting in the way though. I've got a lot of other things on my mind so training isn't taking a priority at the mo.
Mate you can certainly be more athletic after age 31. I was more athletic at 33 than at 31. Now that I'm 34 it's all downhill though

As far as reps in drills for basketball....dont count them. Just keep going until it feels fluid or until you're a little tired, then rest. The only time ive ever seen anyone 'good' counting reps on a drill they were counting makes...on step back 3s. Just my .02.That's a good point. Keep quality up. Sometimes get in the trap of thinking quantity is the goal. Thats kind of self defeating cause you learn to hate it, instead of looking forward to improving yourself.

Btw, good luck with your date. Hope it went well.Thanks. it went okay but I made a few mistakes that are probably going to prevent things going further..
