A couple of summers ago Kobe Bryant changed his workout program in order to get more inviolable – just like Michael Jordan back in the days. Kobe gained amid 6 and 7 pounds of muscles (he is now at 220 lbs.), became a bit slower but still managed to maintain if not to increase his vertical jump! So, how did do that? Let’s have a look at his weight training program – it’s a 6 days a week, 1 hour a day workout. The finish program comprises of the weight training plus 2 hours of running, 2 hours of basketball, and 1 hour of cardio a day! Day 1 & Day 4: Bench press Day 2 & Day 5: Lateral dumbbell raises Day 3 & Day 6: Back squats/Front squats As you may see day 1, 2, 4 and 5 are when it comes to building strength in the upper portion of the body. Day 3 and 6 are all with regards to the lower percentage of the body which gives you the power you need to jump real high. Focusing on reducing his body fat part (its under 10 %) permitted Kobe to save a lot of weight that he genuinely gained through building up muscles. Besides the workout (running, cardio) sticking to a good diet plan (e.g. keep out of the way of fat in the feed you eat, take a great deal of protein to you, eat red meat only once a week, drink a lot of water also.) is crucial. Now, last summer (2007), before playing for Team USA he lost almost 20 lbs. (he is at 205 lbs. now) to get his quickness back and worked likewise on his vertical. |
