Get ready to elevate your game with our 10-week training program tailored for aspiring basketball stars.
This intensive regimen is your ticket to reaching new heights this off-season.
With 5 weekly sessions, we'll get you ready to dominate on the court.
The first two weeks, "Wake-Up Call," kickstart your journey, focusing on building muscle, strength, and priming your tendons for what's to come.
From weeks 3 to 6, each day targets specific force directions: Vertical, Lateral, and Linear, honing your skills for explosive jumps, lightning-fast cuts, and blazing speed. Plus, two days fortify your body's resilience and capacity, ensuring you're game-ready.
In the final stretch, weeks 7 to 10, we transition to basketball-specific drills, refining your on-court performance with tailored exercises aimed at enhancing your shooting, dribbling, and defensive prowess.
With 50 workouts in total, including 3 dedicated to Vertical, COD, and Speed, and 2 focused on Resiliency and Capacity, this program isn't for the faint-hearted—it's for those hungry for success and ready to dominate.
Are you prepared to soar above the competition?
