Hi nation!
I'm a 19 (20 in june) basketball player approchaing my offseason training leading into university next year, and I got (found) a new routine for the summer and wanted to know if its a good routine for a basketall player looking mostly the get more strenght (athleticism) and also build some muscle along the way. The routine is kind of a mix between a regular routine and the 5x5 strenght routine. I just wanted overal evaluation of that routine, any help or advice is greatly appreciated! thx!
Also, my other concern is that i have a knee injury, not too bad but that prevent me from squating enough to do a useful 5x5, so I as wondering what could i do as an alternative for quads eercises with a knee injury. Thanks!
