Match point

Chapter 46 Weight Gain Program
Martin saw all the changes in the atmosphere of the Bruins team. Although he didn't say much, he praised Gao Wen and silently engraved it in his heart.

In fact, if you simply look at the record of the mini duel, Gao Wen's performance is not amazing. Overall, he still wins less and loses more, even in the face of direct competitors such as Di Giulio and Purcell. There is no obvious advantage, and the suspense of victory or defeat still depends on the performance on the spot.

Such performance is basically the same as that of the autumn season.

However, what Martin appreciates the most is Gao Wen's tenacity and hard work. As long as he stands on the court, even in practice games, he still devotes himself to every point. As long as the ball is not dead, he will definitely run actively. The mental outlook makes his game full of passion and vitality.

Even if the mini duel did not achieve more victories, Gao Wen continued to meet new challenges more and more courageously, and continued to pursue progress in the summary.

Martin, much appreciated.

Now, looking at Gao Wen who was diligently practicing his serve, Martin himself didn't notice it, and there was a sense of relief in his eyes.

Serve practice, which means that Gao Wen knows his own shortcomings, and he has no fear of difficulties, and his attitude of facing difficulties is already commendable.

At the same time, Gao Wen didn't bury his head in the ball,

Between serving and serving, Gao Wen has been adjusting his serving posture, and is still studying the effects of different frictions, putting himself into practice with thinking.

Standing quietly on the sidelines to observe for a while, Martin couldn't hold back after all, and raised his voice.

"You should work off the ball first."

Gawain stopped his movements and followed the voice to look over, then Martin stepped forward and explained.

"When you were just learning to serve when you were young, you couldn't complete some complex movements, so the serving movements were relatively simplified; when you grow up, your height is very fast, and you can often use your height and upper body strength to create a starting point. The threat of the ball, so the simplified serve swallows some details."

"At that time, your coach was still not professional enough and ignored these details, which gradually caused your habits to be implanted in muscle memory."

"Actually, if you break down the movement completely, your leg kicking action is incomplete, and the twisting force of the buttocks, hips and waist is not sufficient, which also makes it impossible to fully transmit the power of the lower body. When you finally serve, you still Continuing the habit of childhood, relying on the strength of the back and shoulders, press down from the high point."

"But it lacks the momentum of an explosion and release."

As he spoke, Martin stood beside Gawain, made a breakdown of the serve, and then guided Gawain to complete a complete serve bit by bit.

"Ankles, knees, hips, waist... You need to feel the power extending from the soles of your feet all the way up, how the muscles are stretched, twisted, and exerted force, and you can correct the muscles by digging them little by little. false memory."

"Changing your serving habits is the most difficult of all technical moves, and it takes a lot of time, but you are already an adult. If you don't change now, it will become more and more difficult in the future, and may even affect your competitiveness."

Involuntarily, Martin became serious and patted Gawain's knee, asking him to adjust his posture.

"You should know that the competition in men's tennis is becoming more and more fierce now. Not serving means losing the opportunity. Even Nadal began to practice serving hard and slowly changed his technical composition because he saw the entire tennis world. technological trends."

"If you want to increase your competitiveness, you must adjust your serve. Although it is difficult, and you will experience some pain in the first few months, which may lead to a decline in the power of your serve, this is a necessary process..."

Martin realized that he had babbled a lot, and couldn't help opening his mouth slightly, showing a trace of helplessness——

Even with constant adjustments and suppression, the anticipation and irritability deep in my heart still affected my judgment. Facing Gao Wen, somehow, it turned into a serving class, with a lot of ramblings, wishing I could think of everything Stuffed it into Gawain's head.

He was still impatient.

Gao Wen seemed to notice the confusion in Martin's expression, and said proactively, "Don't worry, coach, this is an extracurricular suggestion, not a formal training session, and the NCAA observers won't say anything."

Originally, Martin was not so worried, but after being interpreted by Gawain, the whole situation immediately relaxed, and a smile reappeared on the corner of Martin's mouth. He did not explain his worry, but followed Gawain's words and said, "It's fine to train hard, but don't appear in front of me, otherwise, if the observer confronts me, I won't lie."

Gao Wen immediately put his left hand on his forehead, making a covering motion.

Martin didn't understand so, "What are you doing?"

"Haven't you heard the story of civet cats? They only need to pluck a leaf and put it on top of their heads to become invisible, so that no one can see it." Gao Wen said naturally.

Martin froze for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Hahaha! Hahaha!" He couldn't stop.

Shocking laughter echoed throughout the stadium, so that Gao Wen felt a little embarrassed - he also realized how naive his actions were, he must have been training for too long and his head became hot, it must be like this!

Gao Wen quickly put down his left hand and changed the subject, "Coach, I've already started strength training before, and I'm going to start gaining weight, what do you think?"

Strength training must not be just about exercising muscles. Weight gain is often complementary, otherwise there will be no source of support for strength.

Tennis is no exception.

However, as mentioned before, the goal of tennis weight gain is not to become a tank. It needs to maintain light mobility while gaining weight. This also means that all the weight added should be muscle. You also need to reduce your body fat percentage, which is by no means an easy task.

More importantly, weight gain also requires a reasonable diet and work and rest time. The entire training is a complete system, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve it only by Gao Wen himself. He needs the help of the coaching team and the support of professionals.

Martin was not surprised by this.

The matter of strength training was given by Martin to Grant, including Macdonald, Geelong and others also need to keep up with the corresponding strength training.

Now that Gao Wen's strength training has started, Martin is also thinking about gaining weight. It is undoubtedly the best time to complete it through professional diet and corresponding training during winter training.

Gao Wen took the initiative, and Martin continued on the topic, "Mobility is your strong point, you need to be cautious about gaining weight; and we are not long before the spring season, if you gain weight rashly, it may lead to unnecessary gain , destroy your growth trajectory chain."

Pausing for a moment, Martin thought about it seriously, with a very cautious look on his face, "How much do you weigh now?"

"83 kilograms." Gawain replied.

Martin nodded slightly, and gave his own suggestion, "If winter training is over, you can gain 85 kilograms and keep your body fat rate at around 10%, that would be great."
