So I’m an ectomorph looking to improve my overall physique but my main goals is to improve my strength. I play basketball for the local rec league, so I could really use some strength improvement and gain some explosiveness too.
I’m relatively a beginner so I’m open to any and all advice.
My current routine is as follows:
-I warm up for 15 mins or so at the basketball courts. Practicing layups, jump shots and etc just to get my blood going
-Deadlift (two warm up sets of 10, then 3 sets of 5 of as heavy as I can go)
-Calf Raises (4 sets of 10)
-Dumbbell Chest Press (Warm up set of 12, then 2 sets of 10, and a set of 8 of as heavy as I can go)
-Box Squats (Warm up set of 12, 2 sets of 10 and then a set of 8 of as heavy as I can go)
-Seated Shoulder press (Warm up set of 12, then 3 sets of 10)
-I’m building up strength for pull-ups so I am doing 12,10,8 of Lat Pulldowns
-Ab Cable Crunch (3 sets of 20)
That’s it, I do this 3 times a week (MWF). I got my diet down, I eat 3 solid meals a day and I sneak in a protein bar/shake when I can. I sleep plenty and drink lots of water.
Any further advice or tips?
Thanks,
Shaun
