Boxing Workout: Patrick Beverley, Greg Smith, Isaiah Canaan & Robert Covington

With that being said, practicing basketball and doing basketball-related moves is where the motor, strength, power improves.

 

the pacers players did something like this last off-season and they got to the ecf, i know you cant make a correlation between the two, but its just a thought

 

My boy G. Smith looks like he wants to kill somebody!! Love it!

 

Off season boxing worked out real well for T-Will a couple years ago.

 

Exactly, it's not like they're doing yoga workouts on the Nintendo Wii

 

T-Will was an idiot.

 

And Hakeem's footwork came from soccer

 

Man shut up about them not playing basketball. LeBron does swimming, bicycling, and other random **** in his routine. He seems to be doing pretty well being the most impressive physical specimen in the NBA. Cringeworthy the **** you guys complain about.

 

Well training camp is about to start. So they are probably doing this to get ready for that.

 

What makes any of you experts on professional athletic training routines? Hahaha you ppl make me laugh sometimes :grin:

 

Well, we've got a Twitter pic from Hibbert, a link to Tiger Woods' training regimen, a link to LeBron James on yoga, not to mention the trainers and players shown in the original boxing video. Many professional athletes who cross train have been named in the thread, if you care to confirm the claims. All of them are professionals who know more than you do.

Here's another link: Shaq, Ray Lewis, K.G., Kevin Love doing yoga http://www.stack.com/2012/09/17/yoga-athletes/.

What are you laughing about: the possibility of people knowing how to work out? Makes it clear that you don't.

 

Guys, I think they're just doing it to have some fun.

 

Me personally... I've played on a state championship high school basketball team where our coach got his strength and conditioning information straight from the S&C coach at Kentucky. We'd do what Kentucky would do. Our team was mostly white, and we couldn't compete athletically with a lot of predominantly black schools. So we had to be stronger and better conditioned to cancel out their athleticism.

I then went on to play basketball in college where they had a similar S&C program.

I've also read books on strength & conditioning from top athletic trainers both for myself, and to help my brother (who is currently plays baseball in college) with S&C.

My cousin was also a pitcher for the Colorado Rockies (he just recently retired), and he would pass along training information to my brother straight from the Rockies S&C coach.

So while I'm not necessarily an "expert" myself, I know a great deal about how athletes train due to having experienced it first-hand for a big part of my life.

 

sorry swimming , cycling . those are sensible workouts. low impact.

 

And yes Yoga is another low impact workout.

 

THANK YOU, lol. This is one day. One day out of a whooooooooole summer where we've seen these same guys running, shooting, and strength training on a consistent basis. Geez.

 

I believe rv and bmd are both correct but are talking about two completely different aspects of training. General body conditioning or cross traing is to work on overall conditioning, explosion, core, coordination in general terms. Specific basketball training is to work on specific skills involved I.e shooting, dribbling, passing. As bmd said you can't just do basketball drills to gain strength and explosion or you'll be limited in overall athleticism and as rv said if you don't train specific basketball skills you won't become a better basketball player. Both are needed.

 

And my experience is I coach elite level gymnastics, we often cross train specifically on the men's side of gymnastics.

 

wow Robert Covington looks bigger than i thought
