    I cba to go to the gym every day I do a lot of home workouts tbh

    200 situps

    80 pushups

    essential for me every day. although I can say my chest got kinda f***ed up a lil from doing too many pushups, feels like my heart is sore.

    anyone do martial arts as well? do ya'll weight lift on days that you do it?

    Probably would have to gain a s*** ton of weight and hope it goes to your legs, otherwise just work on getting them defined. Not everyone can have tree trunk legs but everyone can get muscular legs if you put in the work

    I nerd out about this kinda stuff so long post incoming..

    Athletes train so that they can peak during their season by periodizing their training. Essentially this means starting with very general strength building and slowly getting more and more sport specific through the year.

    So right now my “off season” just started (actually I got sick af and injured my shoulder). So I’ve been doing a lot of heavy compound lifting to develop basic strength. I’ll post my last couple workouts at the bottom.

    In a month or so I’m gonna start to incorporate more power building exercises, like plyometrics, but still relatively generic. Things like box jumps etc..

    Finally as my season gets close I’m gonna do a lot of tennis specific training: medicine ball throws mimicking strokes, footwork and agility drills, anaerobic endurance.

    You can do something similar for ball if you want. But tbh even just going 2x a week and doing 10-12 reps of leg and core exercises along with some basic plyometrics and shoulder health stuff will improve your game and lessen the likelihood of injury.

    Here’s my last couple workouts tho

    this is great man. I really appreciate it. I've just been doing the basic s*** for the longest time, need something to switch it up. And become more sport specific

    No problem! And ya the whole periodization thing is really more based on on and off seasons. If you really want to improve your footwork for ex don’t wait 5 months to do it, it’s better to just start today

    You could just be getting used to it somewhat, soreness isn’t indicative of growth tho so if you aren’t it’s ok

    Calisthenics pretty good if you’re tryna cut too. I want my abs to show up a little more so I’ve been incorporating it along with weight lifting. Gotta look good by spring

    Interesting. I need to work on my abs.

    What kind of exercises do you do ?

    Interesting. I need to work on my abs.

    What kind of exercises do you do ?

    I just get to my local park every morning and run the trail, which is around 2.5 miles

    Then hit 100 regular pushups
    25 decline push-ups
    25 incline pushups (on a little bench on the trail)

    Then I do 3 rounds of
    Leg raises x10
    10 sec hold (legs raised about 6 inches off the ground with hands by my sides)
    Flutter kicks x10
    10 sec hold
    Scissor kicks x10
    10 sec hold
    Russian twists x12 ( 6 each oblique)
    10 sec hold

    And that’s pretty much my morning workout and then I hit The gym in the evening. Pretty simple but trust me you WILL feel the burn lol
