This is the workout I'm going to do until basketball season. Any suggestions?

Every other day:

3x12 Bicep Curls

3x12 Dumbell Benchpress

3x12 Dumbell single arm Rows

3x12 Over head tricep extension

3x12 Lat raises

3x12 Military Press

Off days:

Vertical Jump Bible

That is OVERTRAINING.

I see what you are doing, like 3 days a week upperbody, 4 days a week lowerbody etc. You are only giving yourself 24hrs for each muscle group to rest and recover, which is not enough. Look at something like Joe Defranco's Weside for Skinny Bastards, he has his athletes doing upperbody for 2 days a week. Google Defranco's Website and do it. He also has a day dedicated to pylometric training in it too btw.

Great, and it is done by various athletes. I'm currently doing it too. Plus for beginners, you have to develop a strength base first befroe doing explosive stuff like pylo's.

It's too much and will lead to no gains and burning yourself out. Upperbody twice a week and lower body twice a week is enough. so if you want to work out lower body and upper body on seperate days, you should work out 4 times a week. You wont see good gains at the rate you are going

what if i reduce the weight for upper body. its not really heavy lifting anyway. and i really need to gain weight/get stronger

You didn't like Defranco's training program? Can you tell me what and why you don't want to do the program?
