Gender: | And read the stickies in the training & nutrition forums. That will show you how far off base you are and what you need to do to get where you want to be. Good luck |

Gender: | With basketball do you practice every day ? Does your coach have you and your team on a set scheduale for training ? 6'2 @ 175lbs is lean - I think (not sure) you may want to step up your calories... If you can go to www.fitday.com and record what your eating , find out how many calories your putting into your body then that will help a lot. |
