My Routine

Hey I'm 15 and I weight 176. I'm not skinny nor fat. I have a 25' vertical and I'm a basketball player. I'm trying to get ready for the season that starts early Nov'. By gettin in shape and gettin more explosive. I've had a program that me and a trainer at my gym went over. I've added some more exercises that will help me with my vertical leap. I think I still need some new abdominal workouts because the ones I'm have on right now make my stomach sore and are really really hard to complete (what are some good begginer ones). If u have any other exercises that might be usefull to a basketball player wanting to gain vertical and get more toned please tell me. I am looking for people to help me make this the best program it could be.

If you want a better vertical i would definelty drop the smith for barball squats. How tall are you? I just listened to an audio about taller people anbd weight traning if your interested go to t-nation.com, d-tap 10 on the left side.
 
You need a new trainer because that is a horrible program for an athlete.

You need-
Cleans, free weight squats, depth jumps, bb step ups, maybe some 1 legged leg press, and some moderate calf work for the lower body.

You don't need pec flyes or wrist rollers.

You need some medicine ball work (low intensity plyometrics) and you need to be on the court at least once a week to keep this applicable to the court.

You also don't need to be pumping out all your sets at 15-20 reps. And I'm not sure why he doesn't have you doing intensive interval for cardio.
