how effective is the novice strength training program?should i start with body weight? i have tryouts near the end of october and i want to do excercises that will have the most effect like i said, i am 6 feet and 135 lbs i can almost touch the bottom of the rim, my verticals like a 23, i know it sucks..... i just need to get up there cause i got big hands and can basically palm the ball off the dribble.
