Exercise: Weighted Drop Step

<< PREV     NEXT >>
  • Wearing weighted vest, assume athletic stance at block
  • Receive ball from partner, perform drop step and dunk ball
  • Immediately sprint to opposite block and set up facing second partner
  • Receive ball from partner, drop step and dunk ball
  • Keep moving between blocks and dunking for specified reps and sets
  • Perform last set without weighted vest

Variation: Lay ball in if you are unable to dunk. Use med ball if weight vest is unavailable

Sets/Reps: 3x3 dunks on each block

Brungardt: In addition to the vertical element, the back-and-forth between blocks requires a certain amount of lateral movement. We incorporate this drill into our lifting sessions, when we’re fatigued, to recruit fibers we haven’t used. We perform the first set after our warm-up and then perform the next set after we’ve done a few lifts.
