This past Tuesday as I pulled up to the park for the start of week two of the Elite Basketball Bootcamp, the sky started to get dark and thunder was souding off in the distance, and in another five minutes when the guys showed up, the rain began to fall.  Within minutes the sky opened up and the deluge came.

So our basketball training was cancelled…right? WRONG!  We simply went to an indoor basketball court with one 70lb sandbag and got creative with our basketball strength training.  Creative  to the point where the guys are hoping that it does not rain on a Tuesday or Thursday again or at least for the next month.

The Workout:

Dynamic Warmup

10 x full court sprints (Rest is the walk back)

10 x full court change of direction sprints (Rest is the walk back)

5 sets of 5 sandbag clean and squat

4 rounds of sandbag step-ups(3 each leg)  with lunge walk from sideline to sideline.

Burpee prison workout 10 through 1 (Start on one sideline and complete 10 burpees.  Sprint across to the other sideline and complete 9 burpees.  Sprint back and do 8.  Continue doing this until you have reached 1.

This workout was a killer, but the guys really gutted it out!
