Hey everyone,
I'm a basketball player and need to get in serious shape for the summer (lots of 3-on-3 tournaments). I have been hitting the weights at home (dumbells and curl bar) for the last 3 weeks, but I need some expert guidance on my weekly routine.
First I'll tell you where I am now, and my goals for the summer.
NOW - 5'11/193lbs/soft body, not ripped by any means/ 24 years old.
SUMMER - 180lbs/hard/need to gain strength more than mass, but I do need a little mass added/my vertical jump must improve by 6-8 inches (will that happen if I gain strength in my legs and lose wieght?).
Work-out Routine NOW:
Monday - BICEPS, standing curls (20lbs/arm), hammer curls (20lbs/arm), reverse curls with curl bar for forarms/biceps. EACH EXCERCISE I DO 3 SETS.
SHOULDERS, I do side lateral raises(10lbs)/and pull-ups with the curl bar (40lbs)
ABS - a variety of different crunches (6 different positions x 25 reps)
LEGS - Squats without weight, Calves (skip rope for 20 mins)
CARDIO - 20 mins of skipping rope and 15 mins of jogging
Tuesday- TRICEPS, Dumbell extensions (over head) 30lbs, dips on my chair 15
CHEST, pushups (dont have a bench...really sucks)
BACK, Deadlifts (50lbs), leaning over rows with curl-bar 50lbs
LEGS, lunges without weights
CARDIO, 30 mins of jogging
Wednesday - day off
Thursday - repeat Monday
Friday - repeat Tuesday
Sat - day off
Sun - day off
Supplements:
1 multivitamin
3 tablespoons of flax seed oil
2 protein shakes a day ISO-WHEY 40 grams of protein a shake...the rest i get through food.
Should I add a fat burner? I dont want to add creatine yet because I'm trying to shred fat.
______________________
So that's the routine, sorry if it was a long post but I thought I would give you as much info as I could. Could you guys help mould my workout to something that would help me reach my goals. Any help would be appreciated!
thanks in advance,
Madhops
