Question
Hey im a 16 year old player. i play at the varsity level. im about 6'1 and 185. i go to the gym regularly but i feel that its not helping enough. i want to get my shot faster and just get stronger in general. what should i do?

Answer
Dylan go check out Joe Defranco's website. Or google "Westside For Skinny Bastards" You should be able to find it.

You need to squat and lift heavy and that program is the best template of a program to help you. When I was a fulltime strength coach it is the same base program I put most of my athletes through. At 6 feet you should be weighing between 200 and 225. You can get there on this program while keeping the body fat down.

If you need more specific stuff just let me know.
