Westside Training For Basketball

Training Powerlifting
1

Hello, I am 16 years old and would like to use the Westside concepts to increase my explosive power for basketball. I am having trouble organizing a proper training week due to the fact that i am very new to this.

Can anyone with more experience help me with some input on how to organize a training week Westside-style and also what exersizes and movements to do that will help with vertical jump and speed.

Last, I am simply curious about Westside’s concepts and would like to try them to see the results. I realize I may have to change certain aspects due to my age, but I am willing to follow through as long as it is the right program for me. If anyone thinks that another system would be better (I am also very interested in INNO-Sport), please dont hesitate to tell me.

Thanks for your time.

Check out Westside for Skinny Bastards by Joe Defranco on this very site. It was written for high school and collegiate athletes just like you.

Thanks for your replies. If its not too much trouble could somebody who is training westside style post what a typical week would look like for them? I understand defranco’s template and have seen it before many times but a typical westside template seems different.

i’ll be posting my workouts on the vert/speed training thread. i’m doing a typical defranco/westside program from what i understand it to be. a ME day and a speed/DE day.
