    How much muscle before starting plyometrics?

    You mentioned that I should work on my strength program, I'm guessing that means increasing the barbell & dumbbell weights?

    Where to buy Barbell Stand, for Bench-Press?

    Hmm... well that seems rather an average price, the other two places I've looked at have been REBELSPORT & FITBIZ. (strange that they're always in CAPS!!!) Would appreciate other suggestions, & whether or not it would be better for me to get one of those Bench-Press all-in-one benches...

    [Any Suggestions?] Full-Body 6-7 day a week workout

    Well I've been losing weight, so it's hard to say how great this routine has been. I could probably say starting tomorrow, that I've 'toned down' sufficiently. I am planning from, say, the start of next week, to buy a stand for the barbell. Thus with a standalone bench, I will be able to do...

    How to increase vertical jump & agility? - (For basketball)

    ^Thanks, looks like a real handy website. The reason I submitted my last post was to find out which of the 30 (took out Bear Complex from lack of confidence) exercises I should complete, how often, and to what degree. I don't believe it would be good to do all 30 of those exercises twice a day...

    ^How many reps should I aim for? How many times a day? Should I do weighted-squats? How important is the bench-press | is it possible to work the same muscle group in the same way without using a bench? 100 kilograms sounds a little big? But if you say so. So could you recommend me an...
