Does anyone here play basketball? I have two questions:1. I was wondering how this affects lifting if done either before or after a program such as Starting Strength (3x5 compound lifts) in terms of what cardio does in conjunction with lifting to affect the growth hormone/insulin response. 2. If on a density bulking protocol, is it advised to take in carbs before or during a 2 hour basketball session? These lengthy sessions would be on non-lifting days.Also, if there's anyone here under 6 ft tall who can either dunk or touch rim, please post some squat/power clean numbers so I can see where I should aim for my lifts. I'm currently 140 lb with a 205 squat (3x5) and 95 power clean (5x3), but I'm still a good 4-6 inches away from the rim.
