Question
if i keep wearing my ankle wights thats 5 pounds on each leg, and keep training in them when i play basketball will it make me any faster or quicker
Dear friend,
Yes, that will definitely give you some more power and speed, but the possibility of an injury is quite big with the 2.5 pound weights.
I suggest you make that at least a 2 pound.
Sincerely Yours,
Coach B.Anagnostou
