Yep, everyone hit it right on the nose. You are on the first week, and probably started conservatively with the weight as you should have. As you start lifting heavier weights the program will become...

Looks pretty decent. It's a bit unorthodox program. What are your goals? The overall volume for your main lifts seems a little low if building muscle is your main goal. However, if you're looking for...

It would probably help if you told us your goals. There's a huge difference if you're just lifting for general health/ maintenance compared to if you're trying to gain muscle.

Have you read supertraining by Verkhoshansky and Siff? That is one of the most comprehensive books you will find about strength training.

Do whatever your doctor/physical therapist tells you to do. We don't know what tendon in your shoulder is affected, so we can't really give you much advice.

Looks solid. It stays close enough to the original structure of the Texas method. The accessory work isn't a crazy amount of volume, so you should be fine with recovery. I say try it and see how it...

A lot of it is a mental thing. Sure, you may need to strengthen your glutes and abductors. However you really need to mentally focus on forcing your knees out every single rep. I don't care if it is...

Yea the entire fitness community is growing, a lot of it has to do with the push for better health in recent years. Youtube is definitely helping to put powerlifting, and strength training in...

Same thing happened to me. Have you also noticed how awkward it feels trying to switch hands?

Great list, I have only read a few of those books, mainly the ones by Verkoshansky and Siff. I'm going to have to pick some of the other ones up.

Warning to OP, the books Krakkerz suggested are...

Great post. I believe you'll find that most athletes do less than half of these things, yet nearly every elite athlete does almost every one.

For single leg work, bulgarian split squats are great. Also lunges and step ups.

Sounds good, I'm happy to discuss it too. I'll PM you about it.

Yes, a few of my friends actually train for cycling. I don't cycle personally. Still, my interests lie in strength and conditioning, so we will regularly talk about what worked for them or not. That...

Why would you think that? The main difference between intermediate and beginner programs is just slower progression. It just basically spreads out the stress-adaption cycle. There are longer periods...

Wow, that program looks really good. Good balance of different exercises.
Kettle bell swings and lunges are both great exercises. I'd say either try to find a way to fit them both in or just rotate...

Most compound lifts will help the core, especially if you focus on bracing. Even deep squats. However, if you really feel your core is a weak point then you should do some core specific work. As said...

Here's my current program just to show you what I'm doing. It's a modified version of the "texas method", which is a great strength program you can find all over the internet. Just google it if...

I'd keep squats and deadlifts in your routine. Do you do them on the same day or separate days?
I'd tell you to do a beginner program, but since you play basketball pretty intensely 3 days per...

I'm currently sitting at a 43" vertical after being where you are right now about 2 years ago. You have the right idea, I'm guessing you want to dunk since you're playing basketball a lot. Well, I...
