Strong simply won’t cut it.
Ever wonder why NBA players seem so much stronger than college players? Weightlifting matters — but to perform like a pro you have to train specifically for what happens on the court. This manual takes the guesswork out of building that program, for one player or a whole team.
- The full year, not a four-week sample — off-season, pre-season, in-season and post-season training, each with its own goals.
- Sets and reps already determined — completely ready to go. Open it, train it.
- Position-specific — sample workouts for forwards, centers and guards, drawn from training professional players.
- Written in plain language — what to do, when to do it and why it matters for basketball.
Four parts. Twenty chapters.
From the philosophy and the 24 principles to the full exercise library — one manual instead of a dozen bookmarked articles.

Built for every phase of the season.
Build the base
Resistance training, plyometrics for speed, quickness and vertical leap, and three low-impact aerobic sessions a week.
Sharpen it for the floor
Interval and sprint conditioning at a 1:3–1:4 work-to-rest ratio, cone-based U, M and T agility drills, and two maintenance lifts a week.
Keep it all season
Two resistance sessions a week to hold what you built, plus post-game work for players not getting minutes, so everyone stays in game shape.
Real pages from the manual.
A shooting / point guard session.
Guards are quick and explosive for their size — what they usually need is the strength to win battles with bigger players. This is one of the sample workouts straight from the book.
Foot speed and agility work is performed pre-practice in addition to this session.

Before you buy.
What format is the book?
A 66-page PDF. It opens on any phone, tablet or computer, and prints cleanly on standard letter paper if you want a copy in the gym.
How do I get it after I pay?
Checkout is handled by Stripe. As soon as your payment goes through you are taken straight to your download page, and Stripe emails a receipt to you. Save the PDF right away — if you ever lose it, email us from the address you paid with and we will send it again.
Is this a sample workout or the full program?
The full program. Every phase of the year — off-season, pre-season, in-season and post-season — is laid out with the sets and reps already determined, so there is nothing to put together yourself.
Do I need a full weight room?
A standard gym covers the strength work. The agility, footwork, jump-rope, core and plyometric work needs a court, cones, a jump rope and a stability ball.
Can I use it with my whole team?
Yes — it was written for coaches running team programs as much as for individual players. For printed team copies or a staff license, email info@two01basketball.academy.
What if I have a problem with my download?
