💪 How to Train Like an NBA Player

✅ Squat, deadlift, bench press foundation — 3x/week heavy compound lifts

✅ Plyometrics for vertical leap: box jumps, depth jumps, single-leg bounds

✅ Core work daily: planks, Russian twists, medicine ball throws — NBA players need core strength for contact

✅ 500 made shots per day — Kobe Bryant's routine. Start close, work outward

✅ Ball handling: 30 minutes daily. Pound dribbles, crossovers, between legs, behind back

✅ Free throw routine: 100 made per session. Steph Curry makes 500 per practice

✅ LeBron spends $1.5M/year on his body — including a personal chef

✅ 3,500-5,000 calories daily for NBA players depending on position

✅ Pre-game meal 3-4 hours before: lean protein + complex carbs. No heavy fats

✅ LeBron sleeps 12 hours per day (8-10 at night + nap)

✅ Cryotherapy chambers at -200°F for 3 minutes — reduces inflammation

✅ Massage and stretching: 1 hour daily. Flexibility prevents injuries
