Strength Training Exercise For Basketball: DB Squat, Curl, Press!

The DB Squat, Curl, Press is an exercise that is great for basketball players because it strengthens the legs, biceps, and shoulders in each repetition. This exercise, when supersetted with a bigger lift (unilateral lift; Barbell Step-ups, or Reverse Barbell Lunges) would make the workout a nice balance, from one foot power moves to two foot controlled movement, not to mention it would keep the heart rate up and burn more calories than the standard seated military press!

DB Squat, Curl, Press: 3×8 reps
*When doing the exercise without the seat, make sure to get in the squatting position and hold for 2 seconds before you stand up and press the weight. This will help to take the stretch reflex factor out of the equation and really force your body to fire those quads and hams!
