Hey guys back i have a question. What barbell exercises is use to strengthen the whole body and core?
Lots of exercises. Just google it :O Ex. Deadlifts/Squats
This diet I'm following from the Jump Manual is..I don't know lol. I'm drinking 12-16 cups of water a day. Eating a whole lot more then I usually do. It's making me more lean though. From 4 days of drinking protein powder, I could dunk on a rim that is 1 inch higher, 9'2. It's weak dunks so I still need 10-12 more inches. If all goes well, I'll make a video on youtube on July 4 of me dunking.
On player improvement, I'm just spending this week on observing certain people play to see their tendencies. I want to fully heal my wrist by not playing basketball/use computer alot and just sleep this week.

How rewarding it is to be able to finish with both hands, had another lefty and1 this past week and had another one which should've been an and1 but the ref missed the call, even the guy who fouled me admitted it shoulda been an and1:oldlol:
guys i have a question when shooting a jumpshot is it mostly balance and release? And another question how is it your first time playing in a league? is it physical?

Balance and release come into it but overall it is just repetition, you watch good shooters anywhere you go and their rhythm on every shot is always the same. When it comes to your first time playing in a league it can be overwhelming because teams are organised but it won't necessarily be more physical, physicality in a league comes down to how the refs ref the games and what becomes the norm. The league i'm in is rather physical but that's mainly because it's only a casual one and the refs sometimes let the game play i think:cheers:
This past week has been going good. I tried to rest my wrists again by just training my hook shots of my left hand. I ended up training both lol. Now I have a nasty right hand hook shot. It also helped me finish without a backboard also. I also find out that my guide hand was keeping my shooting hand from getting power. I could stand under the basket on the other side of the court and jump and shoot with a push and hit the backboard of the other side, yet I didn't have enough power to shoot a free throw.
Trying to bully your way in the paint when you're 5'9", 155 pounds can hurt a shitload.
I was attacking the rim and I tried to split two defender with a eurostep and got tripped up and hit the damn pole.

To spring off of that point, I actually learned the opposite from experience during a game. Through my youth it had [i]always[/i] been stressed that the right hand was used on the right side of the court and the left hand on the left side of the court.
I am an above average one foot jumper off my strong (left) foot. I am a below average jumper off my right foot. Further, my left hand was never as strong as my right. So, that meant I was soaring to the basket when attacking with my right hand and sort of plodding when I attacked off one foot from the left side of the court. As a freshman, if I tried using my right hand from the left side on a fast break, my coach would let me have it.
Weirdly, after watching a lot of Grant Hill (Pistons Grant) and Latrell Sprewell I noticed they often attacked with their right hand regardless of their positioning on the court. It seemed to allow a lot more maneuverability. I gave this a try in games and never looked back. I will use my right hand whenever humanly possible. Jumping off my strong foot and using the hand I was born to use increases my threat level toward the opponent by about 74%. I keep the left hand in my back pocket for two-foot attacks from interesting angles where only a left would make sense (and on reverse layups coming from right to left).
Moral: I learned it's best to attack in a manner that's most comfortable for you and is most likely to result in a made basket. I cannot even begin to explain how many layups I didn't finish as a youth because I was just "trying to do the right thing" by going up with my left. The minute I turned a lot of those opportunities into strong attacks with my right, it all changed.
The thinking tends to be that using the right hand on the left side of the hoop means you're more likely to get your shot blocked. My personal experience is the control, agility, and movement gained from using your strong hand (and being able to dip, double clutch, or flip) far overrides the "shield" gained from using the left in a lot of cases. Again, the left is still there when I need it. I just don't need it as much as I ever thought I did.
Well, I noticed that I am tired from Tuesday-Friday due to vertical jump training. It seems that I sort of lose my basketball touch/feel and miss every shot and layup. I also feel groggy and stupid. I can't make any split second decisions during that time. Then on Saturday-Monday I feel renergized and make most of my shots. It's strange, because I basically lift once a week(Monday) and lift lightly on Wednesday and Friday due to PE. I hope this grogginess goes away once I get used to weight training. I also hope that the results won't stop coming this fast when I do though(got 2 inches and a half in 3 weeks so far). I'm trying to get back on track with basketball because I'm starting to sort of get disgusted with it(lots of drama in bball team and etc lol) and just playing casually. I still want to go for the dream of being a D1 player due to me making the decision with my heart, mind, and soul.

I completely agree. I find that most of the time, when I attack left I have to make a quick decision how I want to finish. If I feel I can beat the help defender, I will almost always use my right hand. I can jump quicker off my left foot and finishing with my right makes the move faster. However it makes it easier to get blocked.
When I drive and attack left with contact, I always try and finish with my left hand. It feels much more natural now, I don't feel comfortable bringing the ball up with my right where my defender can strip it. Instead I always try and throw my body into theirs then finish left.

Cover 6 basic movements and you will work everything; overhead press, bench press, rows, squats Romanian deadlifts, and then throw in some pull ups. I tell my athletes to train those movements instead of focusing on muscle groups.

That's understandable, strange thing for me though is that i seem to finish better with my left hand these days despite it not being my natural hand. Obviously there's exceptions to that like finger-rolls and stuff like that are easier with my right. I think another reason why i finish with my left a lot is because my euro step is much better when i go right then left because i'm a left foot jumper and so i'll end of to the left of the basket or moving towards the left and it doesn't feel comfortable using my right while moving left if you know what i mean.. Really depends on the situation though i guess:cheers:

Yeah, I believe it definitely varies from person to person. For instance, my 9th grade brother might be a better left hand, open court layup guy than I ever was. However, he is a much weaker left-foot "strong" jumper and finisher than I was at that age.
And regarding the Euro, out of curiosity, in your situation do you finish with a left hand layup off your left foot? I am also a left foot jumper (as previously mentioned) so like you, I step with my right first on my Euro then takeoff with my left. However, I still finish with my right hand in that situation. My feeling is, if I Euro'd correctly, I will have enough separation to cut in with the right hand finger roll. I think a left hand attempt after the semi-awkward feeling of a Euro would create a much lower percentage shot for me (coming further away from the rim). I'm speaking mostly of Euro's from the right wing here, as a Euro from the left wing should leave me with a right hand finish at the backboard. On the left wing I'd theoretically be near the front of the rim.
I do acknowledge that a Euro from the right wing will sometimes leave me with an awkward reverse type of finish with my right hand but again, I'm sort of counting on cancelling out the difficulty of the shot by being high enough in the air (close enough to the rim) that it remains high percentage. I'm definitely open to alternative approaches though. I'm weary of a left-foot, left-hand finish. Is it very truthworthy for you?
thanks for sharing it with us,we appreciate it very much ,you are so kindly,we will go on look your post ,welcome more new information from you ,thanks again.

Sorry for the long response time, didn't see that the thread had been bumped when you posted, good thing that ad spammer bumped this:lol
Anyway in regards to the eurostep, i'm pretty sure it was once awkward to finish off a left foot jump with my left hand but with all things related to finishing with my left i just worked on it to the point that now it feels normal.
I think even from the right wing when i finish at the front of the rim i'd use my left hand simply because using your right when facing left and in front of the ring would require a finger roll or something whereas i'm very comfortable with my left hook. I think that stems from how i learnt to use my left hand though, when i was younger i was happy to sit outside and practice my shimmy to right hook and when i decided that finishing with my left would be a good idea i just started doing the shimmy to left hook from right under the basket until i had a better feel for the ball and then moved out with time.
I guess it's hard to sum up how i move on the court when it varies from situation to situation but as i said my left foot left hand finish is completely comfortable for me so if i do find my self on the left side or running right to left i'll just do what is comfortable which is usually the hand relative to where i am.
The whole Left foot Right foot eurostep is certainly something i'll have to improve on to make my game more complete because i do find that having to take a right step first against an opponent in the paint when i want to finish right makes me much easier to guard whereas if i could fake them out with the left foot and go right i would be much harder to guard. So maybe if i remember next time i'm shooting around i'll put some time into it..
So in summary, yes it is trustworthy for me and it's something i'll go to in that situation but it does take a little bit of time to get used to. :cheers:
