    5x5 and basketball game

    I was wondering how I should set up my 5x5 around my game. My games are Thursday nights so do you think I would be ok with maybe Tuesday volume, Thursday light followed by game a few hours later then Saturday the intensity day? How should I set it up so that I can get stronger weekly but still have my legs for games?

    By no means would I lift on gameday. Also, you'll want to be sure to have your triceps 100% rested by game time because if not your shot will be way off. Your legs too. I'd do Friday legs, Saturday: chest/tris, Sunday: rest, Monday: back/bis, Tuesday: shoulders/traps Wednesday: rest

    Good idea not to lift on gameday, not the best idea to completely change to a bodybuilding routine.

    You could try Saturday volume, Sunday light, and Tuesday intensity. That way you don't work out the day before a game, and you're not trying to do a hard workout the day after. Some programs even get rid of the light day, so you could possibly even do that.
