    Training for basketball

    Hi, I've been browsing this forum for a while now and finally decided to become a member.

    I could really use some advice for training for basketball.

    I know that in basketball, your shoulders, upper body etc, and your legs are the most essential parts.

    With that being said, the only thing I possess at home are dumbells with removable weights and a bar.

    Could someone recommend some workouts with the equipment I have that could strengthen/define/increase the shoulder/back/upper body?

    Also, could someone recommend a good cardio workout program?

    For the legs, I'm already on this polymetric program.

    I'm 17, 5'8 and weigh in around 140.

    Thanks you guys. =)

    -shrugs

    Arms

    You can still get an adequate leg workout as well. Do dumbell squats, dumbell walking lunges, weighted step ups, etc.
