You calves are probably a restrictive factor. Having sore calves after basketball means one or two things: either not strong enough or extra tightness. Either way you should implement Unilateral Calf-Raises going for a full deep stretch (maybe holding it down for ISOs, which I prefer) after your workouts in addition to the reactive stuff you do beforehand to keep things on an even keel.
Peace.
QuoteDivad's advice is good but I personally would substitute pin squat for box squat, but that's preference (and a little bit more but not set in stone).
True dat. The man has got it!Really pin squats would definately be better as depth will AlWAYS be identical. I might try these myself.

The most important thing, is yeah, go deep, but mainly STOP once you lose your arch. It's never helpful once your back starts to round. The Box Squat might be good to develop some more explosive power and allow you to really SIT back and stay above your critical point and progress safely. Try it out, but keep squatting regularly too, test for a while to see which one you like best, then switch to that one for a couple of weeks. In any case, resistance stays resistance.
I really am seeing good results from the low amount of plos I do before every w/o. I have a bit more bounce in p/u games, + getting blocks and put backs like I am a younger man.
nice man!
yup that's why people should do reactive work before lifting.. it keeps that constant stimulus in to "be more springlike (reactive)" and it helps potentiate (stimulate) heavy/explosive lifts.. there's absolutely no reason why we shouldnt include reactive work before pretty much every lifting session (unless it's back to back days then you could make a case..)
