But this article was meant for those that don't know these principles or have forgotten them. These are the foundations to which every effective weight training program is built on. @Trevor, I can’t speak for pro basketball players because I’m not one.

Your telling me a if lebron was same size, strength, etc. He would still do what he does today in the NBA? Are you telling me that a 6'6 220 pound shaq would put up the same numbers as a 7'1 300 shaq? Hell shaq's size is a lot of what makes him the player he is today.

He's telling you how to maximize your potential threw weightlifting. And having strength and athleticism is what maximizes your potential in your sport. You will never see a small, weak, and unathletic person rule a game of football or basketball. Thank you for acknowledging your incorrect statements and embracing my knowledgeable ones!

You are 100& correct..I have NO CLUE what I am talking about..You are right. If you got to the end of his post he said the following: "If you get these down and implement them correctly and consistently, you’ll see steady growth. Your new found strength will in turn help you dominate your sport." HE said it which is why I responded with my uneducated words of wisdom..:) Hey Kwame..

I never suggested any lifts or any exercises. The purpose of this article was merely to give you the foundation. These principles can just as easily be taken over to functional training - which I did a lot of for track. We did most of our weight training in the off season to build strength. And later trained that muscle with different running exercises. You can always retrain a muscle, but what's the use of retraining a weak muscle? @Barry, I do agree with your reply, but I think you took the purpose of this article out of context.

If you're a complete beginner, you can get away with doing the same exercise and seeing growth for 4-6 weeks. More advanced lifters should change every 2-3 weeks. The exercises you're doing are great compound exercises and should be a staple in your workout plan from time to time. @ Ekam, yes, I would recommend changing exercises.

Many lifters have experienced gains in strength when they return to the first exercises.

If you think lebron james, or any athlete would be good as they are without improved strength, vertical, overall athleticism. You my frind, are just insane. And he never said that weight training does it. He was just saying that this is how you get stronger THROUGH weight training. Wow bary your comments are so uneducated its amazing.

Well, the post is good if you want to change your body aesthetically and lift more weight (become stronger), but to do what is suggested and quote: "Your new found strength will in turn help you dominate your sport" is so just not accurate at all. Skinny Tiger Woods was ALWAYS a great athlete. He was killin it when he was a skinny 18 year old. In fact, his injuries are due to his crazy style of weight training. Lebron James..he was a phenom at 14 years old. Getting bigger did not make him better. Hershel Walker never touched a barbell. Terrell Owens uses bands. A paradigm shift has taken place when it comes to training athletes. Thousands of trainers from all over the world are changing their style to fucntional training, core conditioning and focusing on athletic movement with resistance. Not only does this help make an athlete more powerful, jump higher, react quicker etc, but is aids greatly in the prevention of injury. Sorry, but this is so far from the truth and reality. "good old fashion weight lifting" will in no way make one a better athlete. In fact, it will decrease their athletic ability due to the stress and strain in their joints. How often do you see an athlete (other than a power lifter) need to press as much as they can by laying flat on the floor? How often are you in a stable position (as in weight training) on the field of play pushing as much weight as possibly just to, well, push as much weight as possible. This post seems like it is written in 1970 (switching names with today's athletes) and is so far off. This is why people are so confused and athletes/coaches not knowing what to do. I suggest that Mitchell follow some of the top athlete trainers in the world who are incorporating proprioception, core conditioning and functional training with their athletes. WOW..
