Thanks for the replies guys...
To answer the questions you asked....
How fatigued i feel depeneds on the session, if its just shooting ill be fine to do more, if were doing full court fast break stuff then im going to be pretty wiped out.
Nutritionally - no ive never done the protein shake in practice, but can always start doing the gatorade stuff, i think the shake would probably make me sick haha
ya i thought so too when i boxed, but I would bring a gatoraid shake, like 16 oz mixed with nearly 1 scoop of protein (24g), mixed with 1.5-2 scoops of gatoraid powder, in water.. take half a swig of that shake and I was full of energy again, no cramping either.. you'd be surprised how effective it is during long bouts of work such as in a basketball practice etc... just try it out during your long practices, such as:
- 2 hour practice: half shake at 1 hour
- 3 hour practice: 1/3rd of shake every hour
of course drink your water too, not saying all you should down is that shake.
Deadlifts - These are my fav exercise, im built for them much more than squats (long arms, short torso), usually i dont get too much lowerback soreness from them.
ok well that's cool then, include them, just don't go balls to the wall for at least the first week, on any lift for that matter.. week 1 = break in mode.
Powercleans - i agree, wont be including them on second thoughts.
nice..
Unilateral - the reason i included these on the light day was more towards prehab than strength building, i read somewhere they are good for ankle strength etc
they are good for everything, vmo, ankles, glutes etc.. i'd give them a little more focus than prehab.
Oh yeah, one more thing i wanted to include was prehab stuff, core ankle and shoulder, but this isnt really stressing so i think i can throw it in anywhere as long as i dont hit the abs to hard.
ya that stuff isn't really relevant in terms of managing fatigue, can throw that in anywhere.
And at the moment Basketball > Strength
Oh yeah, i will have one rest day, either saturday OR sunday...depending on when the game is.
So i think ill go with a mixture of both of your suggestions...
I like the idea of the light day for bodyweight pushups/pull ups/etc
Anyway, ill see how it goes and then decide on volume/frequency etc after ive experinced a full week of basketball.
Thanks again
nice! np man, hope we've been of help.
peace!
