Want a faster serve?

Power doesn’t come from your shoulder alone. Limited thoracic extension and poor shoulder rotation can rob you of velocity and place extra stress on your arm.

Try these mobility and strength exercises to improve how your body loads and transfers force into the ball. Better movement + better strength = more racket head speed.

Save this for your next training session and send it to a tennis player chasing a bigger serve 🎾💥

🚫Arm circles are not a shoulder warm-up… they’re just movement.

🦴 Your joint capsule, rotator cuff, and scapular stabilizers need to actually be loaded before you lift or play. Here’s what to do instead.

April is over, the Masters is over and your back still hurts from golf ⛳️

Problem is, it might not be your back…

It’s your hips

🔹 Limited hip rotation → you can’t turn efficiently
🔹 Your body still needs rotation → it steals it from your low back
🔹 Same swing, same compensation → same pain every round

That also means:
Less rotation = less power = more stress on your spine

The fix isn’t resting or stretching your back

It’s:
✔️ Improving hip rotation
✔️ Controlling your pelvis through the swing
✔️ Building rotational strength

Fix the hips… and your back AND your swing both improve

If your back tightens up every round,
DM me “SOLUTION” and I’ll show you what you’re missing 💪🏼

Low back pain during RDLs isn’t a strength issue.. it’s a hinge issue ⚠️

If you’re bending through your spine instead of loading your hips, you’re feeding the problem.

Fix the pattern ➡️ then build strength 💪🏼

DM me “SOLUTION” if you want help dialing this in.

🧘‍♀️ Stretching isn’t always the answer!

⛓️‍💥 If your rotator cuff isn’t stabilizing the shoulder joint, and your scapula isn’t moving correctly, it can lead to pain with all your pressing exercises.

These guys are built different 💪🏼

The youngest rider showed his age on one hand 🤚🏼

Had a great experience relating physical maintenance of the body to mechanical maintenance of the bikes at ⚙️

Shout out for having the idea to have me share with the young riders what they can be doing right now to improve the abilities and prolong their careers 📈

🔑 If your back feels stiff and your hamstrings have pain when bending forward in the morning, you probably don’t want to bend forward in the morning!

💡 This is often coming from neural tension or irritation of the lumbar discs. I’ve found clients often get much better mobility by starting with extension based movements like the ones shown!

🔖 Save this post for the next time you wake up with a sore low back!
