For this weeks topic we are discussing flexibility vs rigidity (or stiffness) specifically for basketball. We get in depth on the potential benefits, and drawbacks of both flexibility and rigidity. So in this video I tell you which one I would rather a basketball player be, and give you the reasons why. Most people, including me until recently, would automatically think that flexibility would be the one that you would want to be. Be some research and studies have discovered that rigidity is going to be the better option for basketball players. The go to is going to be right in the middle, not too flexible and not too stiff. But if I had to choose one it would be stiffness. For both of these their will be injury risk, but if you are over flexible and are in a high performance, high intensity sport than the severity of the injury is going to be higher than it will be for the over rigid athlete. The performance side is also going to favor the rigidity athlete. You are not as explosive when you are too flexible, because of the stretch shortening cycle. Your body has to go through a whole other step, causing it to take more time through the movement and slowing you down. So the rigid athlete is going to be favored over the flexible athlete when we are talking about high intensity sports!

In this video I talk about how to increase your vertical jump. I give you some of my favorite exercises that is going to help you jump higher. Their are a lot of different exercises you need to incorporate in your vertical jump training, but today's focus is explosive exercises. All of these are great exercises for basketball, and if done consistently over time it will increase your vertical jump fast. Power Squats Power Cleans (I give a modified alternative) Dumbbell Thrusters Band Squats Kettlebell Swings I explain the correct form of each of these, and tell you the amount of reps I recommend.
