This is a twelve-week, in-season basketball workout program. The purpose of this program is to prevent injury and sustain strength gains made in the off-season program.

Basketball is one of the longest and most demanding sport seasons. Most high schools play two to three games per week. If you start seeing decline in energy and performance in your athletes, then pull back. When we see these two decreases in performance we replace a lifting day with a regeneration day consisting of foam rolling, PNF stretching, and ice baths.

The workouts will be posted every Monday and Wednesday.

Week 5, Day 1

Front Squats 5/3/1
Romanian Deadlift 5/5/5/5
Dumbbell Power Jumps 5/5/5/5
Squat Jumps 5/5/5/5
Back Extension 10/10/10
Overhead Sit Up 10/10/10
