Training For NBA Longevity | Georges Niang x Ben Kenyon 

Let’s goooo! 💪

trust me bro plz do not follow this crap, workout and recovery are contradictory things, this is what we call as fitness scam, this guy has never stepped foot in a sports physiology lecture ever and is simply coming up with ways to entertain the athletes because they don't want to actually train hard in the weight room

Thanks for taking the time to comment on our channel. We appreciate your engagement and the opportunity for discussion! Professional athletes typically shift the focus of their training during their competitive season to maintain their performance, manage fatigue, and reduce the risk of injury. Heavy strength training can be quite taxing on the body and often requires longer recovery periods, which isn't ideal during a packed competitive schedule. Instead, athletes may engage in maintenance strength work, mobility exercises, and other forms of training that support their performance without overloading their bodies. Moreover, it's important to note that every workout you see on our channel has been meticulously designed and programmed for that individual athlete, taking into account their specific sport, position, season cycle, injury history, and performance goals. These programs are the result of close collaboration between the athletes, their coaches, and sports science professionals to ensure that the training is not only safe but also effective in enhancing their performance. We hope this clarifies why you might not see “heavy” strength training featured as prominently during in-season workouts.

George niang is a good role player and play with à lot of energy and hustle. This training his about prepar this body for play many season not for building muscles

@@WeArePress you're just misinterpreting the science of it @wearepress, because lifting heavy because of its low volume is actually less fatiguing and you're more likely to fatigue with high rep low weight. Strength training is used in sport for 2 things, to max out your physiological capabilities (force production, motor unit recruitment) or reduce risk of injury in areas that the athlete is SPECIFICALLY weak in. With real periodization you actually want to see volume decrease as you get closer to competition and intensity to increase. The problem a lot of times working with athletes who are not advanced lifters however is indeed that risk of them lifting in the power to strength range and injuring themselves because they never lift with full ROM and being genetically gifted they must lift a lot of weight which again is risky. So the reason why a lot of bad athletic trainers do this is because they're scared of injuring their clients. Mobility is important in a lot of contexts but it gets over hyped, the only time you need to work mobility is when your range of motion is so bad that you can't preform the necessary ROM for your sport. Then of course you have sports like the pole vault or gymnastics where there is a huge range of motion needed. Another things I might add into the politics of these strength training coaches is you'll see them doing complicated movements and well as a lot of different exercises because they need to make money and a lot of NBA players just assume if it looks complicated they know what they're doing. Most of these videos are just bad from the start, with 20 min warmups, to the lack of compounds and even which excerices come first and how there's almost 10+ movements in a lot of these routines. the whole point of these athletes jobs is to max out basketball, that's were the complication and high skill movements should come in, strength training for basketball however should be simple because it has only 2 functions in the context of NBA, 1. to increase power, vertical, motor unit requirement etc. and 2. to rehab or strengthen muscles that are weak relative to the population

you should understand the purpose of why it's the way it is before assuming anything. different phases of seasons vary the training

@@proudmisfit4405 Ok whatever. THEY ARE RUNNING SHOES!!! He was so unstable in them. 🙄 That takes no assumption.

@@kennyray116C fam, i am not against your suggestion of barefoot training. i am with you all the way. i myself train barefoot like 99% of the time. all i am saying is that context matters.

I think George chose to training with running shoes that his preference is a pro

@@proudmisfit4405 ideally weight training shoes are the way to go, but this routine is so stupid anyway we have a lot more to worry about
