I've been playing tennis for 6 years, so i think i can help. Now with your aim, just watch the ball at all times and make sure you step into the ball. Keep your racket straight and hold on tight as you swing through over your shoulder. Lifting weights doesn't have any part in tennis. To swing hard, you need strength in your wrists, not so much in your arms. So just keep practicing. To make the ball go further, be positive you have your form right. Then one of the most important is to remember to swing all the way through. Yes, all the way to your opposite shoulder. This will make the ball go way further. Much of this you achieve with practice though. So good luck with it all! *Val*

do lots of push-ups and crunches. But remember, push-ups DO NOT strengthen the biceps, they strengthen the chest. If you want stronger biceps, I would recomend Tae-Bo or your own boxing routine, and your gonna have to stick to it.\n\n\nPASSION+PERSEVERENCE=POSSIBILITY

Obviously, more reps at less weight is the way to go.  But, also try lifting in ways that stretches the entire muscle, causes the muscle to repeatedly stabelize itself, and also excercises the small supporting muscles around the main one.  Give up on those planar-type lifts and manuevers, and instead increase your range with a twist or a turn.

Your anterior deltoids (front part of shoulders) should get work a little, but it shouldn't support the bulk of the weight. For bench, you probably have a wider grip, which utilizes the shoulders more. Trying making it more narrow and see if that helps. Also, when doing flys, do them with your palms facing directly away from you (such that when you touch the dumbells at the top they face together). Try keeping them lower on your body as well. That should put more emphasis on your chest.

If you're trying to build strength, try a heavy bag.  You can't believe what a workout that is!  Seriously, wail away at it for as long as you like, but I think you'd be surprised at how tired you get after just a few minutes.  It's great cardio, and the stress you put on your bones and tendons will build strength.  And if you can imagine you're a boxer training for a fight, keep those legs moving and do the 'bob-and-weave' thing, ducking and rolling, keeping your fists in front of your face.  That way you won't be focusing strictly on your upper body, but overall fitness, especially your 'core'.  See how long you can go, then go longer...\n\nFor strictly cardio, you can't go wrong with an eliptical trainer.

Well, it's a start. Pushups are good for building your shoulders, lats (latissimun dorsi: back muscles) and, to a lesser extent, your triceps. So, your muscle definition might be a little more noticable. But to get buffed, you really need to add more exercises. Curls are great for your biceps. If you don't have weights, just find something you can curl 10-12 times per set. For triceps (the muscles behind the biceps) a good exercise is chair lifts. Go up to a chair like you're gonna sit in it, but put your hands on the edge of it, fingers back, palms down, then lower yourself to the ground till your butt barely touches and then raise back up. Good luck!

I've found that supersets are a great way to increase it. Supersetting is when you do multiple exercises rapid fire without a rest. It gets in a lot of work in a short period of time. An example of this is take a bench weight you can do 5 times(with difficulty). Then take 2 dumbells that you can press at least 10 times. Set them near your bench. Rep the bench 5 times, rack it and immediatly pick up the dumbells. Do 10 dumbell presses and put the weights down. Then, immediatley go to the floor and do as many pushups as you can. Thats 1 set. Do that 3 times. By the 2nd and 3rd sets, you wont be able to do all the reps, thats fine, just have a spotter for when you hit the "wall." Doing this has raised my max 50 lbs in about 2 and a half months.

Work out.  Do shoulder strengthening excercises, in particular.  \nAlternate upper/lower body, and do weight training 6 days/week.\n\nAlso do lots of running (at least 2 times/day) after the weights.  How much running depends on what kind of shape you're already in.  If you're starting from scratch, then run at least 2 miles/outing.  Also do some windsprints. \n\nYou should be working out for a minimum of 3 hrs/day.\n\nEat right.  No soda, candy, donuts, etc.  Lots of vegatables, lean meats, and water.  Sports drinks are ok too.\n\nIf you can work out w/ a friend that will help.  People push each other.\n\nYou can make a noticible difference in two weeks! but you'll have to push it.\n\nMake sure you rest the day before camp.  Don't go in sore or injured!

Consult a sports medicine doctor and find out how to strengthen your shoulder muscles.\n\nAlso could be some kind of nerve problem, but I suspect it's a strength problem.\n\nGood Luck

Any pulling type exercises will work your biceps. Try pull-ups, barbell rows, and upright rows. They not only work your biceps, but also your lats and traps.\n\nIf you are looking increasing strength and size, try to do 4 to 6 reps each set. How much weight you use depends on how many you can do. If you can do more than 6 reps, add more weight. If you can't do 4 reps, you have too much weight. Each workout, your goal is to do 1 or 2 more reps, or add more weight than what you did your last workout.

Yes, wearing heavy clothing would help to make you stronger.  You are right, armor would be noticeable in this day and age, but placing metal plates, such as lead, inside your clothing would work.

It depends on the number of sets you are performing with each body part.  Also, you are working your shoulders pretty much every day Monday-Thursday(indirectly through chest) so that may put some strain on them.  If I were you I would start taking a Chondroitan/Glucosamine supplement your joints and rebuild the cartilage you tear everytime you lift.  Running is very good, but try a different activity every once in a while to avoid stagnation.

do wrist curls with a curl bar.  Palms up and then palms down.  Do sets and increase your weight with each set, do as many reps as you can until muscle failure.  You will notice your forearms getting alot bigger, as this is really a great forearm workout, but it will strengthen the tendons and ligaments in your wrist, and your grip, combined this will give you a great strong fist.  Work hard and good luck.  I hope this helps.
