Getting in shape for basketball

Getting in shape for basketballSo, today a friend asked me to join an outdoor full court bball league that starts 4/28. That gives me 23 days to try and whip my ass back in full court shape. I lift regularly, but for the last year + I've been into strength training and have neglected my cardiovascular system. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the best ways to get back into semi-shape by season ( I know 3 weeks isn't a lot of time). Could I do prowler pushes/box jumps/agility work at the end of all my workouts or would that be too taxing and hinder my leg days? As of last week I started just doing squats, deads, box jumps, and prowler sprints for legs, but I'm wondering if I can do it after upper body work as well. Also, I'm not trying to blow a hammy, so should I stick to hill sprints until I'm in a little better shape? Basically, how often can I sprint, jump, etc to get in shape to play basketball, without ruining my lifting in the process? submitted by /u/milla_highlife [link] [comments]
