Amare Stoudemire’s workout and training routine focuses on developing both functional and stabilization strength according to STACK Magazine. Amare fatigues a muscle group with a strength exercise then performs a stabilizing exercise with the same muscle group.  

Back in late 2005, Stoudemire had microfracture surgery to repair damaged cartilage in his knee. Therefore, he is always careful about reinjuring his knee.

Amare does a lot of single-leg exercises because they are great rehabilitation for his knee. When doing this exercise, all of the muscles around the joint strengthen through the stabilization of his bodyweight. 

Stoudemire, who has close to a 40” vertical jump, is known as one of the best dunkers and rebounders in the league. Keeping his knee healthy is crucial in helping his new basketball team, the NY Knicks, become a playoff contender. 

Here are some of Amare’s preferred workouts. To see the full routine, be sure to check out STACK Magazine.

Single-Leg Tricep Pushdown: Assume a single-leg stance in front of machine with opposite foot just off ground. Keeping body straight and elbows to the sides, push the cable down until your arms are straight. This exercise builds up the tricep muscle while also working on balance and stability. As you can see, Amare uses a basketball grip, which makes it more relevant to the game of basketball. This can also help with his grip, especially when he is handling the ball for a dunk. 

Push-up With Rotation: Perform a push-up. At the top of the movement, rotate the body into a side-plank position with one arm on the ground and the other extending towards the ceiling. This really builds up Amare's shoulder muscles and adds to his stabilization.

Stability Ball Shoulder Combo: Lie with stomach on a stability ball and have light dumbbells in hands. Keeping arms straight, raise dumbbells to the front, side and rear for one complete repetition. This exercise hits all the shoulder muscles and really gives you a complete burn.
