The second top rated comment is retardet. Steroids don't make you big, they make you performe better....so he could be juicing all day long without it being shown on his body.
Then explain all the grunting when ATP or WTA players swing if it should take less effort. Besides, the key as you guys say is to accelerate through the shot, which takes force. Fast wrist acceleration takes power and strength. Period. Gah i give up.
@cj397 Power and strength comes from the wrist and shoulders..... a strong lower body and core is crucial to be able to utilize the power of your arm, but the arm is where most of the power comes from.
@SPARTAbassist there no actual power as in FORCE APPLIED unto the ball. there is no FORCED push/nor specific muscular effort put into swinging the racket. it's all about being loose and timing.
@cj397 Of course there's a forced effort. True most is loose and timing, but the acceleration of the wrist must be forced (this is what causes players like nadal to grunt like dying bulls). Loose but powerful. Tough combination to get just right :).
@SPARTAbassist none. the wrist is loosely laid back and with the core/shoulder/torso rotation comes a slingshot-like reaction that fluidly makes contact with the ball. you do not purposely put any energy/force into ANY muscle group or limb
@cj397 totally agree. the only thought I have in regards to applying power into a shot is leaning on it or when my feet aren't in position to do that, trying to accelerate through the shot. Never think of hitting harder, think faster. More effort=less power and control.
lol, you got the wrong idea. You can do as much cardio as you want. Run 25000 miles a week, whatever. You will never have abs(six pack) unless you do sit ups or work your abdomen muscles in some strenuous fashion.
Actually, it's quite the opposite. You can't work on the area where you want your muscles to be shown and expect that slab of fat on top of those muscles to just disappear. You need a complete muscle workout routine combined with some sort of cardio. Mind you, depending on the repetitions of the workout you can still get a cardiovascular workout so you could cut out the running, etc..
This is all combined with a regulated diet. Not an ''american diet'' where you cut out everything and deprive yourself of delicious goodies. But one where you realize what type of calories you need, i.e. proteins, fats, carbs and eat accordingly. Not trying to be mean, but I don't want you dealing out the wrong info to
dodododa when he/she might be partly right despite the fact that he/she's a jerk!
Well yeah, the nutrition and cardio helps reduce fat and keep fat off. Eating isn't going to create muscle. It helps but it's not going to make a 6 pack appear on your body.
You still have to go out there and work your ab muscles, no matter what. The most common exercise: Sit-ups.
Working your abdominal muscles will make them stronger and perhaps hypertrophy, depending on the exercise, the duration, and the repetitions. There's no doubting that fact. But will it reduce the slab of fat on top of the abdominal muscles? No. That takes a complete body workout.
That's true. You also have to take into consideration what type of weight lifting you want to do. For muscle hypertrophy, which is what everyone here is pretty much talking about (since the muscles don't really show), you would have to lift sub-maximal weights for 10-15 reps and for a certain duration, to, basically, be able to show off superficially.
I beg to differ. X Country runners actually have a pretty strong core (abs and lower back) because they use this a lot to maintain proper posture/form during the run. Especially towards the end when their whole body is fatigued and this is when core fitness becomes most crucial in order to maintain proper form. Without proper form, they become less efficient at their movement which slows them down and uses more energy.
@GreatestCreation909 no.. your abs are allways their. its just cause you have fat you cant see them. sure working out will get you more defined abs, but you can have abs without doing specific exercises on them. everybody has abs
He may not look like a chiselled bodybuilder but don't for a moment think that he isn't a good athlete. His level of flexibility and endurance are world class
Can SunSigil please explain to everyone a situation in which, during a tennis match, Roger Federer would need to stop, walk off the court, and start doing dips?
those saying he should put his shirt back on have no idea of how insanely fit this guy is ..tennis is as gruling a sport as you will find and federer doesn't even break a sweat in most matches ..his leg and core strengh, cardio, flexibility, speed, balance, and muscular endurance are at the elite of the elite level
Agreed. Whichever idiot said that has never played tennis at any serious level or he would know that the majority of player have more developed muscles on the forehand side. Plus, he is amazing, hardly breaks a sweat in the most ugly, god-awful humid conditions.
firstly the word is Disfigured and secondly for someone whos "muscularly unbalanced" he sure moves well doesn't he! Hes a tennis player not a potential candidate for Mr Olympia.
yes but he can play 3-5 hour tennis matches on a regular basis plus practice. You couldn't play a 5 set tennis match with any atp level player so stop replying to my comments and get a life.
I'm a 5.5 level player and run an athletic club, so I know how to play. I just thought it was a bit weird at first. When you're the greatest player in the world, you can do whatever you want I guess.
There's really no way I can prove my claims (I'm not going to put my name or USRA number on the internet) so you can believe what you want. Peace out :)
