i got a routine i'd like crit for too...

monday, wednesday, friday-
benchpress- 5 sets, 15 reps of 135
push-ups - 4 sets 20 reps
jog- 4.0 mph for 20 minutes

tuesday, thursday, saturday -
bicep curls - 5 sets, 15 reps 26 lbs.
hammer curls - 4 sets, 20 reps 20 lbs.
forearm curls- 3 sets, 20 reps 20 lbs.

i know it's not much, but if someone could add on for me it'd be appreciated. i'm really just training for basketball, i'm about 6'1" and i can wrap my fingers around the rim, just can't dunk yet. if anyone can show me how to keep my pecs pumped consistently i'd like that.

Eliminate everything you posted and squat 2x per week. Not only will you put muscle on your entire frame, but you'll be dunking without effort, in no time.

Perhaps you will, but not necessarily. If you want to increase your jump you really need to train specifically. This is why we have professional strength coaches. Can every 6'1" bodybuilder who squats heavy weight dunk a basketball? Doubt it.

Emcee, you're already close so maybe a little more leg strength will translate to a few more inches in your vertical jump but this is not assured by any means.

It just so happens that ashimmatthan just posted a Christian Tribadeau workout, "Get Strong, Get Fast, Get Vertical" in the training forum. The entire article can be viewed at http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=859906

It was designed for increasing your verical jump.

My post was geared to stress the importance of training the legs, which the young man neglected in his routine.

The majority of trainees seem to be gung ho on upper body.
