What sets apart legends like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Steph Curry in basketball?
These three iconic basketball players share a common trait: their commitment to going the extra mile to achieve greatness. Take LeBron James for instance; he follows a rigorous five-day training split comprising three days of weightlifting and two days of conditioning. If even a superstar like LeBron prioritises two days of recovery, so should you.
If you’re aspiring to train like a basketball star, here’s how you can elevate your game:
Build strength through weightlifting: Strengthening your body is a primary objective in the weight room. Cultivate overall strength and conditioning to enhance your performance.
Incorporate explosive plyometrics: Integrate bodyweight plyometric exercises like box jumps, clap pushups, and jump lunges into your routine. These dynamic movements mirror the explosive actions required on the court.
Prioritise recovery: Both physical and mental recovery are essential for success. Embrace quality sleep, aiming for 7-9 hours each night. Additionally, consider joining our rejuvenating ice bath sessions to combat inflammation and reset your nervous system.
Plan ahead: Thoughtful planning extends to your training regimen and nutritional intake. Balanced snacks aid in recovery and contribute to the essential lean muscle mass for basketball performance.
Embrace consistency: Consistency forms the backbone of a successful routine. Regular workouts are paramount for longevity, allowing you to maintain peak performance well into your 30s, a trait exemplified by stars like LeBron and Jordan.
With tailored guidance from our exceptional team of trainers, you can create a personalized workout regimen that aligns with your goals and needs. Improve your training, emulate the habits of basketball’s finest, and pave your way to becoming a legend in your own right.
