- Athlete has one year of lifting experience
- Most basketball games are on Tuesday and Friday nights
- Weight room has various specialty bars but no reverse hypers or GHRs
- bands are available but no chains
- Lifting will be done the day after games - the athlete may be fatigued from the games, but training will not interfere with the next game's performance this way. This will help auto-regulate the training. Basketball is the priority right now.

- Athlete is approximately a 300lb squatter (with parallel box) and 225 bencher
