If you haven't seen the new issue of Tennis Magazine (April 2011) you ought to pick it up. It's "The Fitness Issue". Look, I like the magazine, I've had a subscription for probably close to 10 years now. All I'm saying is, pick up the issue and turn to the feature article. Then ask yourself if doing what they suggest will give you better on court results than what I'm posting.
Better. Tennis. Faster. --- TennisWOD provides daily workouts designed specifically for tennis players. Workouts that will make you stronger, more explosive, and less prone to injury. If you want to take your game to the next level, trade some court time for some gym time and do TennisWOD!

Has Anyone Given TennisWOD a shot? Let me Know!
Rest Day
Thanks to everyone that has seen my post on the CrossFit main site message board. Extra thanks to those that questioned the methodology. I'm still confident that TennisWOD has the capability of producing better fitness, with less injury, than traditional tennis conditioning. But I'll never know unless I hear some testimonials from people describing the good (and the bad) of their experience with the program.

Post Workout (PWO) Experimentation
Warmup: 5min Jump Rope
Strength: Power Snatch 5x3
WOD: AMRAP in 7min of:
10 Wall Ball
10 Situp
3 Hang Power Snatch @ 75/55 lbs
Tabata: Air Squat
Don't be afraid to experiment on yourself with your PWO. You'll never really learn anything if you don't try right? I started my foray into PWO with whole milk. It felt a lot better than nothing at all, and I stuck with it for about 2 months. Two weeks ago I cut all (or almost all) dairy from my diet just to see what would happen. I replaced my whole milk PWO with a 1 scoop shake of Optimum Nutrition 2:1:1 Recovery. In 8 days I went from 185lbs to 180lbs, I feel leaner, and I feel like I'm recovering a little better. Tomorrow I'm going to start adding in 5g of creatine monohydrate. Will I turn in to the hulk? Will a throw up 1 hour later? Will I put on 20 pounds of water weight? I don't know, but I'm going to give it a shot after the reading this article from the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
