Ya but I think Myles wouldn't give Zion his flowers like Green because Green seems to take playing ball more seriously especially when it comes to taking care of his body. Imm pretty sure Myles is saying this based on how Green conducts himself.

As a former trainer this is what I love to see from explosive athletes. This kind of training helps absorb the landings, contact, avoid having the small, supporting muscles become dormant. Green is training for improvement and longevity. This kind of training is harder as well, because a guy like Green is explosive and that's probably his comfort zone. This kind of training takes a totally different type of muscle twitch, control, and mind/body connection. Love it
I'm curious... I'm trying to get in better shape later in life and can't imagine what the band is doing... Any YouTube videos or instructions you could very, very quickly point me to that can explain what exactly he's doing/working on?
I don't have any off the top of my head since I haven't trained anyone in over 10 years, but if you're just starting to get back in shape I'd say practicing single leg moves without the resistance band will accomplish a lot great stuff for you. That could be standing on a single leg with your other leg up (like Green's) for 4-6 seconds 5 or so reps and if that's too easy then half or full squat to single leg lift and if that's too easy then maybe single leg deadlift to curl to overhead and leg lift. Keep in mind the lower abdomen should be doing the most of the leg lift not so much the hip flexor or quad. If you want a real sneaky challenge stand with your leg raised and eyes closed for a few seconds. Harder than it seems. That being said this is just one very small component to a full program (strength, nutrition, cardio, flexibility, etc)
Not related to this specially but if you want to do a mixture of cardio and light strength training and do it without stress on joints and ligaments, rowing is great. It's just to need to go find a YouTube channel and actually learn proper form. Your legs should be getting tired first before your arms. If your arms are getting tired first your form is really wrong.
bro wtf? I made top 10? why am I in here so much? I'm embarrassed. 15 posts is not that bad? right? right!? edit: all my post came in one month because I was arguing with yolo about silas. this chart is misleading!! I demand I be cropped out of this graphic immediately! also Stan Jalen, Amen, Cam, Bari, Sengun and Tari!
I feel like VanVleet and Brooks are ideal complementary pieces to Green. Everything's in place for him to make massive improvements this year.
You know, the last few times I tried rowing my knees popped repeatedly. I've since worked to build my legs up. Maybe with some stretching and YouTube... Will give it a shot soon.
I had a physical therapist a few years ago for some back issues and she had me doing some stuff like that. I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere and that machines were the way to go. They helped build some of my muscles, but I still struggle to do stuff like this, and my stamina and flexibility is crap. I'm going to get back to it. Appreciate your time and advice!
Back issues are complicated and can take a lot of time depending on the issue (muscle vs nerve) and what's causing the issue. As much I would like to give you easy 5 exercises to do, you really should get with someone to assess things like movement patterns which could tell you what's tight, inactive, weak, or overactive. Example: someone might tell you to touch your toes to stretch your hamstrings, but if they're already being pulled by another connecting muscle that's overactive then stretching them isnt going to help without first loosening the muscle causing the tightness. The corrective exercises are tough because it's usually trying to wake up muscles that aren't active (ex gluteus medius for people who sit a lot) and loosening muscles causing tightness (ex vastus lateralis; lateral part of quad causing hip tightness). The moves don't fix the issues without a very focused attention to what exactly is being worked. From my experience long ago, pilates reformer paired with beginner yoga classes do a decent job for back/core issues if you're unable getting to a physical therapist or biomechanics expert and you're not dealing with serious or chronic issues. Good luck!
