if you gather the ball and then take 2 steps...(march in place the 2 steps)... is that a travel?

When i hoop people say im really strong how can I use my strength to full abilities what moves can I do

Hey y’all first time poster.

I’m 24 M, 5’11 ~155 lbs.

I’ve been hooping my whole life but generally been on the skinner side. I’ve relied on my speed/quickness while playing and have had some success but I’m trying to get stronger.

Wanted to know if anyone had a good gym split to get stronger? Right now I hoop 2-3x a week.

In my men’s leauge my jump-shot comes and goes and I usually rely on my speed to attack the basket where I am fairly successful. However I do come across some players who are stronger and can kind of keep up speed-wise so I struggle to score efficiently against them.

Since my jump shot has also been inconsistent, I’m trying to incorporate both lifts and shooting workouts to get overall stronger and more consistent with my shooting.

Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!

Right now my vertical is roughly 22-25 inches give or take and I was wondering how I could increase it, next year Im going to highschool and may join the basketball team, I know other factors matter more than being springy to be good at the game but I enjoy trying to increase my vertical so if there is any tips to increase it that would be much appreciated, at some point I want to be able to dunk but next year ill likely be 5,7-8 and I dont know if thats tall enough to dunk
