Do squats and calf workouts. Drink lots of milk lol. yet calfs are maximum necessary while it comprises leaping larger. while you're 5' 10 you ought to have the skill to the touch the rim hassle-free after understanding for a month. And take protein of a few variety. i'm 5' 5 and that i will touch the rim.

As a basketball player, when you put on alot of weight you need to continue to go to the courts. At least to exersice and see if you can maintain the weight. Gaining weight is also good if you can turn it into muscle. Try leg lifts, squats, leg presses, calf raises, sit-ups, and also jump rope and try jogging. This will build your cardio and help you maintain the weight. I promise you that not only will you be touching rim, you will be faster, and stronger than ever before.
