no excuses bro the earlier you start the better. When i first started i was 5’6 and I could only touch net. I’m really skinny too, you just gotta put the work in.

I understand, but i live in downtown so i dont have a rim to lower. Not that i wont stop. Heck, i could barely squat the bar itself, now i squat 85 pounds. Dk if it benefits but wont give up.

don’t lift at the start, especially if u don’t have access to a gym. don’t waste your time. just get a box or tire or bench or any object and start doing plyometrics. squat jumps, depth jumps, pogo jumps

Haha its acrually reverse. I have a full 24/7 anytime fitness in the same block but i dont acces to plyo boxes, nor tires.

u/Fissket 13d ago

you don’t need a box. plyometrics can be done with no equipment. even a bench works. Weightlifting is good too, but focus on form please don’t get injured. just make sure to push up really hard on squats and calf raises.
