Anyways, starting to get back into the weightroom for basketball, so I don't want to lift too heavy. Keep in mind I'm 6 feet and only 150 pounds so I'm pretty skinny.
Going to try and do a lot of leg workouts, moslty squats, deaflifts, calf raises etc. And hopefully bulk up my arms a bit. Planning to buy pure amino acids soon.. :S, also need to get some protein. Although I'm fairly tall here in Canada for my age, I have super short arms. Like a lot of my friends who are 5 foot 8, etc have only 2 inches less of a reach then me which is retarded. I'm 6 feet and my reach is only 7'7"..... I guess my vertical is pretty good seeing as how I can get my whole hand over and part of my wrist. From the tip of my finger to my wrist is about 7 inches. So, 7'7" to a 10 foot rim in order to touch would be 2 feet and 5" of vertical or 29 inches, but I can get about 7-9 inches over consistently, so I'd put my vertical at about 36-39 inches. Which is pretty good, but I really need to get higher to compensate for how small my hands are. Anyways, I'll keep you guys updated with my progress and Justin should be writing a blog soon. Thanks for reading guys, I'll hopefully get back to you tomorrow or the following day.

You really have those measurements down. And its easier to post replies if you turn your captcha off.
Seems like you're good enough to score 23 pts in one game - don't get why you'd lose confidence after a game like that and then play poorly the next game.
Why don't you want to lift too heavy. I say go for it and lift at your max!
Don't worry man! It's good to be tall but if you're good at it you'll make it well, don't worry, also thanks for sharing, let us know when Justin posts also! Take care!
Don't sweat it, to me it sounds like you did well!
following this forsure
im trying to cut down before im lift wieghts!
I'm 6 foot, 175+ lbs (haven't weighed myself in over 1 year so i'm not sure), can reach 8 feet, and can dunk with about 50% success rate.
Can't wait for the finals, in both the NBA and NHL.
There is actually no hoop sport than I like better than basketball.
It's good that you're so skinny. Don't ever let yourself get fat. It is so hard to reverse, and is just life changing (in a bad way).
Don't worry about it too much, it can invite doubt which is no good. 29 points man, that's pretty good for a game, hope you won that won, heh.
dont worry about it,
