I wish! It seems like there are a lot of competitive basketball leagues (good players) around though, I'd love to have a hardcore training camp to improve my skills/cardio.

Ah us poor serious...

I think this really depends on reach (arm length) and height. If you're a taller-lengthy guy you can easily have a slower 2 motion shot, but when you're shorter it certainly helps to have a smooth...

Interesting read as I've naturally been including some of this training into my routine for basketball training the past few months and not really aware of all the terminology or what exactly I was...

My vote goes to Bo Jackson. It is really hard to ignore how much of a freak he was. He had a great combination of speed, strength, agility, skill, and size. He was an all star in two pro sports,...

It is funny this topic comes up, this semester I've had to gather studies linking strength training with improving golf performance. Quite a few out there actually, golfers benefit quite a bit from...

I think an important tip is to always focus on bar speed and rate of force development, even when doing max effort and heavy lifts. If bar speed is reduced significantly I reduce the weight even on...

Nonprocessed foods, cutting out the refined sugars, eating fresh veggies/fruits, wild meat, etc.

You need to determine your reach (fully stretched out) and hand size.

If you want to get better at basketball you will have to practice more than that. I would do some sort of handles drills nearly everyday, you don't even necessarily need a court for this and that...

Gotta support the fellow older athletes doing their thing. Keep it up man. :D

A lot of big eaters who go on a prolonged undereating phase can eat well over 10k for a day. Pretty sure I have...here it sounds like you just ate way too much sugar for my taste and 7k is pretty...

All good advice, the main basics of staying low and looking up are simple fundamentals a lot of players seem to lack. I think one thing that doesn't get mentioned enough is footwork, rhythm, and...

I think for the typical high school athlete it would probably be wrestling. Just so many variables that push you mentally and physically it is tough for other sports to compete.

You have to...

lol don't neglect the drills...they help a lot. Sometimes you don't get enough touches or can't concentrate on specific things within a pick-up game like you would want. Just like working your...

I need help too, I've been looking at Jason Otter's DVD and it looks pretty good. I think key for me is having a very strong basic foundation and able to apply it in game-situations.

I made the...

My reach and height is identical to yours, except I jump higher and I squat a lot more. Your squat is kind of low considering your running vertical, are you a one-footed jumper or two?

Technique and experience helps a lot with wrestling. With that said, there is a huge reason why they have weight classes and strength is a very important variable, a lot of times I had less skill...

I've been working on my handles like crazy, honestly if I can get my handles down and maintain my explosiviness it opens up the game completely. Working on different moves so I can do them in my...

They are not built better for power, quite the opposite, the wider hips are actually a hindrance. Lower RBC/hemoglobin so fueling muscles with oxygen usually isn't as efficient. Probably aren't...

There is a point of diminishing returns at a certain weight, where the lower body strength to weight ratio is not optimal. It is higher than 140 for you and probably higher than 165.
