Fitness info addict. If I'm here it's probably because I'm procrastinating.

comment Weight Training for Tennis
Dave is right. To increase power and speed in your sport, do power movements such as the clean, snatch, and jerk. This is one of my favorite work capacity workouts. As Mikko Salo says, he trains first with his heavy weight, then follows up with a metcon(metabolic conditioning) session involving the same type of movement with lighter weight. I think that's a good style of training -- it focuses on power, but compliments the power with increased work capacity, so you're better able to perform the quick, short, explosive type movements for longer.

@Boris Hi Boris. You can view my profile to see my other answers. I wrote that last night, took about 45 minutes. Thanks.

revised Small woman and want to get bigger
As there are existing male-oriented "get bigger" threads, I think adding a female distinction to the title is valuable. Also retagged.

@DaveLiepmann Haha. Not meant to be skeevy! The comic relief of those cues is really effective, and tends to stick with trainees! Cheers.

comment Squat form: hips and ankles
One thing to remember when stretching posterior chain is that muscles don't stretch under flexion (I can find a link to a K Starr resource explaining this if necessary). So touching your toes isn't an effective stretch because your hamstrings are engaged to keep you upright. You may feel a stretch, but there is no increase in end-range mobility. Here's a good resource on ATG backsquat: weightliftingfix.com/2012/atg-backsquat (scroll down to "stretches").

I recommend checking out the 10 minute squat test videos: youtube.com/watch?v=46EDDftgFZI. There are also a lot of other great squat resources from K Starr if you do a search on his channel for hips/squat/ankle, etc
