Description: Day 3: Ball Handling Power

This day features a specialized basketball training routine designed to improve a player's ability to control the ball under pressure, enhance hand strength, and develop better hand-eye coordination. This workout is particularly valuable for guards and ball handlers who need to navigate through defenders and maintain possession of the ball.

This is the universal warm up for all Faster Stronger Wiser routines.

Start in a plank position. Perform a shoulder tap then drop to your stomach, extend your arms out and perform a Superman.

Shoulder Tap to Superman

Start with your feet in a split stance. Next, bend forward until your hands touch the ground. Walk your hands out until you are in a cobra stretch. Next release the stretch, push your hips back and touch your right hand to your left foot and then your left hand to your right foot. Return back to the starting position.
