Answer 1

I don't know  

Answer 2

i heard lifting while in basketball throws off ur shot (in season) so id do it in the offseason  

Answer 3

Don't try too hard. Take it easy and don't overlift because you will risk serious injuries to your muscles.

Answer 4

I don't know how long you have been lifting so I couldn't tell you...just lift a amount that you are comfortable lifting.

Answer 5

-Endurance is the most important aspect for basketball.

-Have you ever worked out? If you can't do 30 pushups with ease, I would start off with body weighted excercise, to build up your strength and your stabilizer muscles.

Pushups:

Wide with shoulders out (Chest)

Narrow with shoulders in (Triceps and Front Deltoids)

Tricep Dips

Pull Ups: Underhand Grip and Overhand Grip, Both Wide and Narrow (Back,Shoulders,Arms,Upper Chest)

Squats

One Legged Squats (off of a chair)

Walking Leg Lounges

Jumping Boxes

Cav Raises off Steps

Crunches (Upper Abs)

Leg Raises (Lower Abs)
