Beginner Routine help

[RudeBaller]

Hey guys,

Im just getting into lifting seriously. Im 16 years old. 6 foot tall 170 lbs. Looking to gain muscle all over but my main goal is to increase my verticle by about 10"s or so at least. I realize i must also eat healthy and plan on starting this next month and starting lifting in 2 months since this is when ill have somewhere to workout. Anyone have a detailed workout routine to help?

Thanks in advance

I am thinking plyometrix type workouts, endurance workouts, and a focus on legs.

You might be better suited or find better information for your interest on a basketball forum...

Sorry bro my verticle is horrible

Defmetal has great suggestions

Damnit I had a great answer and then my internet pooped out and I lost it!

Don't leave our forum. Lots of very strong people who are also lean run tremendous sprinting speed and have tremendous verticals.

As for training, do Jim wendler's 531 (look it up) or better yet buy the book. Do NOT do bber routines as this will slow you down. You want to gain strength and explosive power not just mass. Also, look into weighted box jumps. Phil Harrington (world record squatter) has a couple youtube videos on them.

As for diet, follow these rules. 1) don't count calories or macros ; 2) eat carbs before, during and after your workout only ; 3) if not in the time period mentioned in rule 2, eat as much fat and protein as you like ; 4) eat over your bw in protein per day ; 5) on off days, don't eat carbs 6) eat whatever the hell you want for a couple hours twice a week - this should be after a big workout

And for supplements, take 10g of creatine per day after you train with sugar and a good protein blend. Everything else sucks, is a scam, or is steroids which are awesome but you aren't ready for them.

Box jumps are a great place to start as will lunges and a lot of calf training. You're going to want to work with lighter weights and higher reps, you won't want a lot of size, but just the strength from training.

As for dieting, the above info is great advice. Sprints will be good for explosiveness as well.

Has anyone thought of throwing a bit of Crossfit training??

Legit crossfit is basically just compound lifts which is awesome, but unfortunately 99% of crossfit instructors can't squat over 315 and have no idea how to teach the form and need to be liquidated.

there was another post where guy posted that he read studies where college age men did steriods without working
out and gained 16 lbs of muscle. I questioned it (I have witnessed guys having no progress without workingout).
and he said I (and Austin I think) were wrong because he read it. lol I WISH it was that easy.

no shit. lol Just came back from vacation to Cabo in Mexico. ALL the guys had boilers (big bellies) It would be
a shame if everyone was jacked. Good thing its hard work. Funny when guys say "I could look like that if I wanted to".
When on vacation shopping with girlfriend she was looking in a store and I wandered down the street. When I came
in to get her the guy there was hitting on her, giving her his number. He looked at me, his eyes almost popped out, and
he said "I-Is that your boyfriend or bodyguard?" We both started laughing and she said "BOTH". Also nice walkin
around and people tend not to mess with you (especially when you put on the Pissed Look. lol)
sorry to hijack the post.

Dude in most third world countries people there have never seen anybody as big as most of us on this forum. My friend who is 5'7 200 legit 4% (which I'll admit is big) went to one and was treated like a god.
