Hyper Vest + Basketball Metabolic Conditioning Workout – MMM #56

May 24th, 2010

Wow – for all you basketball players and coaches out there, do we have a treat for you!  This week’s video comes from the brilliant mind of Alan Stein, an internationally renowned, basketball specific, strength & conditioning coach. Alan’s training program, Stronger Team, offers a variety of training services for the Washington D.C. area’s top players as well as numerous services and resources. The primary goal of Stronger Team is to provide the latest basketball-specific strength & conditioning information, concepts, and drills to help coaches and players maximize their basketball potential.  Stronger Team’s mission is to produce better basketball players, not better “weight lifters.” Everything they do is geared toward the end result of improved performance on the court.

Alan is a big fan of Hyper Wear products and sees them as an innovative tool to help create the strength & conditioning base, which give his athletes the ability to take their skills to a whole new level.  In the video, the Hyper Vest PRO is utilized in conjunction with vertical jump training while the SandBell is used for functional movements mimicking those utilized in the game.  His basketball-specific training with Hyper Wear products is original, functional, and looks like fun, to boot!  Enjoy the video and let us know what you think!

Basketball Metabolic Conditioning with Hyper Vest PRO & SandBells

May 5th, 2010

Check this video of some athletes preparing to be great on the Basketball Court.  That is the Hyper Vest PRO they’re wearing at the beginning…not sure why they took it off since you can do all full-speed training in it, but I’m sure they had their reasons!  And then the SandBells get in on the action for some pivot foot practice, enhanced kettlebell moves, ballistic sit ups, rotation moves, and – my personal favorite – SandBell dribbling.  Enjoy!

NBA Muscle Hustle! – MMM #9

June 15th, 2009

Good morning! This week, with the NBA Playoffs coming to a close soon, I wanted to look into one more series of exercises ideal for basketball players.

Everyone’s heard of the phrase “Defense wins championships,” right? Well, in my mind, the other thing that wins championships is out-hustling your opponent to the ball. And there is nothing more down and dirty and overall athletic than battling for a loose ball on the basketball court. Players using their instincts and sheer athletic ability to crash into other players for the sake of the “rock” shows extreme passion for the game and a will to win…

Enjoy the exercise of the week!!

Eyes on the Bell (part 1) – MMM #6

May 25th, 2009

Hello All!

With the NBA Playoffs and NFL Draft being the talk of the sports world right now, I thought I’d come up with a string of videos and exercises that surround being able to take command of the boards on the basketball court and track down the flight of the football on the gridiron.

This video focuses on how to have fun and train hard in order to lead your team in rebounding and also lead your defense in interceptions on the football field. Thanks to Coach Tim for stepping in to help out with these videos!! Please feel free to contact me with any ideas of how to take these exercises to another level.
