Basketball players don't need big lifting numbers

Kobe aint  hitting no 400. maybe if he had 50,000 attempts at it.

Y'all overrating him in weightlifting and basketball.

Lebron played football though, pretty sure he went hard in the weightroom.

A lot of the basketball guys under 6'0 are pretty jacked, didn't earl boykins bench 315 lbs?

He been in the NFL and on every type of steroid for 13+ years, not surprising.

Crazy thing is he doesnt really out bench me

lol I think a lot of y'all are underestimating how much weight that is. Boss said it earlier very few folks in here are probably hitting that and I'm sure the avg for us is like 2+ years of serious weightlifting. What makes y'all think someone who isn't required to lift heavy for their sport can get it so quickly? Basketball players don't lift heavy like other sports. More focus on conditioning/light weights and high reps. And when basketball players squat, most don't squat to depth/parallel

Thank you.

I think some of y'all that squat 315 or less should just got pu 405 on your back and walk it out one time, I promise you'll have a new perspective. 

Its the same as being farm boy strong, you can get a big white cornbread boy thats a beast O lineman thats lifted bails of hay his whole life,  but if you put him under a bench his numbers are not impressive compare to someone who trains solely for strength. Like my example above, if you put me and Harrison side by side everyone will say he's stronger than me but in reality its not the case. Insert humblebrag here

He's not that strong at all compared to a lot of powerlifters at his weight.

They were playing the glow music video from the last dragon at the gym this morning . Had ya boy feeling nostalgic. I looked up and seen at least 3 other dudes fixated on the screen . So of course I had to hit a pr on the bench of 275 . Up to a set of 70 push-ups too. 3 plates soon come

variation day for me.
started off with some lowbar squats to warm up.
245 4x8 then transitioned to some pause squats. 255 5x3

pause deadlifts 295 2x8 and 305 x7. Once I hitched that 7th rep I didn't want to risk the fail on the 8th, knew my back was toast.

All the pauses felt like an eternity but on video it's like nothing. Lol gotta setup a timer or something to alert me when it's been 3 seconds

 

[23kidd]

I think the length of those pauses are fine, better advice would be to stop thrusting your hips forward before you squat, its probably not good to flex your knees that way but more importantly it wastes energy. 

Also on pause squats once you stop you should never go any lower to generate speed out of the hole, it defeats the purpose of them, thats just a FYI for everyone I think yours were fine JV.
