If we wanted to take Mike up to 240 pounds, we could do that. But he's a swingman. He has to guard guys out on the perimeter. We want him to be as strong as possible and still be as athletic as possible. It's a fine line. |
The idea is to work all the smaller muscles of the ankle and foot and abdominals that you don't often think about. So he'll be doing a squatting movement to build strength, but at the same time, he's working on balance. |
We want to make sure that his technique is impeccable and he's really moving the weight explosively. |
