Ive been very active recently and decided to go beyond my condo's basic gym and into a real gym with barbells.

My problem is that I'd like to play intense ball about 2 times a week, badminton once, and another sport once. I'd also like to do sprint training at least once a week. This already adds up to (moderate to intense) leg work 4-5 times a week. How the **** do I add regular, heavy squatting/hamstring work and heavy deadlifts? In addition to this, I'd like to maintain my current routine of having light basketball shootarounds/practice twice a week and working upper body muscle groups twice a week.

My current routine looks like this:

Sunday: Active recovery/rest in morning. Half court basketball in evening, medium intensity

Monday: Light basketball practice, drills. Moderate leg/core work from a class at my condo.

Tuesday: Upperbody work (i.e. chest/shoulders, or back/bi, or even back/shoulders if Ive been missing workouts)

Wednesday: Light basketball practice, drills. Moderate ab work. Mobility work.

Thursday: Upperbody work. Uphill sprints - max intensity.

Friday: Full court basketball game - high intensity

Sat: Light basketball and upper body work in morning. Mobility work. Badminton in afternoon - medium to high intensity.


As you can see, Im already going balls to the ****ing walls almost everyday. I've been eating around 3.5-4k calories per day and Im on a cut, and the progress has been amazing.

My vert and explosiveness has gone up, due to an increase in relative body strength. However, I'd like to really take it to the next level and start doing squats, deads, and powercleans/other explosive movements. I just have trouble slotting it into my current schedule without taking something out.

Only need to do deadlifts and squats one day a week each. Go heavy with relatively low reps and you'll be fine doing basketball or sprints later in the day. Or add them in to your upper body day and take some of your other stuff out, deadlifts hit your back well and activate shoulders. Especially eating that many calories, damn, you should recover fine. And that's in a cut, how much you weigh like 250 of pure muscle, LOL, my bulk wouldn't even be close to 4k calories

Thanks for the advice, thats what I was thinking. I could pick the days with the least lower-body intensity on and surrounding, and just add squats to that day. Deadlift can go on back day.

Not even close to 250, closer to 175 but I've been playing 2-3 hours of some kind of sport almost every day + 4 sessions of weightlighting, stretching, warmups, cooldowns, etc. It all burns tons of calories.

Damn, thats still crazy. Are you in the 16-20 age range? Or are you taking any 'supplements'?

Nah I'm 24. No "supplements", just very clean eating of high fat + high protein + high cholestrol with lots of "good veges" (i.e. the ones that taste like shit) and fruits. Got my bloodwork done earlier too, and all my good figures are very good. High good cholestrol, low bad cholestrol, low inflammation, high free test, etc.

Just very clean eating with regular supplements: multi, zinc, fish oil, magnesium, and potassium occasionally for cramping.

2.5 month progress pic. Gonna cut another 1.5 months and then start clean bulking to 185. Went from 182.5lbs to 175ish in those pics
