Hi guys,

Please tell me if I posted in the wrong section. Anways, I joined the junior basketball team recently.The coach offered me personal training.So, After class.I played pickup games for 2 hours. 5pm to 7pm then continue from 7pm to 10pm.I did alot of jumping and shooting baskets( Almost 1 month). I woke up this morning, My thigh was so painfull.I could not get up,bend nor squat without forcing myself.

Did i overworked or strain my muscles? Is it a good or a bad thing?

* I did warm ups before playing or training*

Thanks in advance

Rest? I see.

For the past couple of weeks, I having the same problem but I continued playing. Basically, If I'm not mistaken the calf muscles is the one that work when jumping? or all the legs mucles work when jumping and running?

I did applied alot of counter-pain, Ate beef and drank few boxes of soya bean. These are the programme that the coach provides me.

Carbs? Is it carbohydrates?.

One of my friends said that everytime you exercise. Drink 100plus or any enegry drink but I did some research on the internet. They said that It's not good afte exercise.

Is it ok to drink everytime after exercise?

100 jump shots at 45 degrees angle and 90 degrees and bank shots. No I'm not a center or power forward. I'm play shooting guard.


Yea, Maybe i just take a day off.

Crash course? Perhaps you can give me a better workout course lol

Anyways, Thanks for the advice. I did rest for couple of days. God, When i lay down on my bed, I can feel my legs again lol. Yea maybe the hours i put in is too much for my stage.

I know is out of the topic but I used to training shooting everyday and i don't really see any improvement.

Is it because different height of the rims from other courts? or I was hoping the results too soon.
