ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Gain stamina for basketball
« on: October 19, 2011, 04:59:33 pm »
For the past few weeks I've been doing adarqi's intro block and its been going fine. But basketball tryouts are in a month and my main focus will be to improve my bball skills since I'm weak at several of the fundamentals (shooting, dribbling etc...). Another weakness is that I lack stamina, and I feel that my weightlifting strength (the little that I have) doesn't help translate on the court.

Currently I'm around 6"2 and only 165 lbs so I'm skinny but my main concern isn't bulking up at this point but to get into the best basketball shape possible. Suggestions for the cardio/weights that I should be doing? I can grab rim from a standstill, but my running vertical isn't much higher and my legs feel dead when playing bball... I have a squat 5 rep max of around 190.

Basketball / Gonna be a high school junior, I want to be better. Willing to work.

I played basketball this year on my high school's sophomore (10th grade) team, after basically two years of not taking basketball seriously. I was out of shape stamina wise, hadn't improved my dribbling or shooting, and I struggled during the daily 2 hour practices. But I got more consistent and better overall as the season progressed. But I know that I still have so much more to work on if I hope to move up on the totem pole (there's a Soph. team, JV team and Varsity team at my school... there were 2 sophomores on JV last year and none on Varsity).

I'm 6"2, currently 166 lbs and I played forward last year but I want to transition into a guard position. I need to get stronger and add bulk onto my lanky frame... also want to dunk by next year (I like to think big lol) - I can grab rim no problem. But my vertical is secondary to my basketball skillz right now.

My shooting is pretty ugly right now... I didn't attempt any jump shots lol during the season - just did post moves (hook shots) and drove in - so I need lots of help with that if I want to be a guard.

Was looking at some programs like Moroko's Better Ball Handling and Allan's Prolific Shooting, thought twice after seeing adarqi's Call Em  Out threads lol.

Just wondering what resources you guys can recommend for me to improve for next season - my neighbor has a hoop that I can practice on. I need help with the fundamentals and I just want to get better.
