gymnasticbodies.com is great, and I second anything by Pavel. I've been on a podcast kick lately... easier to digest large amounts of info while driving/working out/anything where you can wear headphones. Robb Wolfe's Paleo Solution podcast is full of good info for both nutrition and training.

For the Pavel uninitiated,
One golden nugget of info from Pavel I got was from a podcast... and he was talking about planks. You know, the everyday variety of planks, that people try to hold for greater than 3 minutes... (I used to be in the this camp)
He went on to blast the 3 min plankers, and said, it should take more than like 20-30s to get the benefits of the plank, presuming you're flexing every part of you body as hard as you can,..
I tried it, wow what a difference (compared to the hold-as-long-as-you-can-variety-of-plank)
+1 on Rippetoe. He cuts through the BS, and makes you ask yourself some very pointed questions. He very much says that once you are past the novice stage(ie, need more than 48 hours to recover from a workout and put more weigh ton the bar), continuing to chase gains may not be the best use of your time, depending on your goals/sport.
You begin to realize a lot of the stuff out there is really just excuses not to put weight on the bar. Does a 600 lb squat help a tennis player more than 400? Maybe, but the time spent to get from 400 to 600 likely isn't the best use of a tennis player's time. But a 400lb squat will be of great benefit to a tennis player who can barely squat 150, and it takes not that much time if you do the program.

StrongLifts 5x5 (http://stronglifts.com/5x5/) is great - have been using it for years.

who has time for all this ?? I need something you can do in 15 minutes and put you in powerful great condition for matches coming up that weekend...[N.B. I reached the article size limits at TW, thus I must divide the old thread in two.]
I found these non-commercial sites very useful for the tennis player mindful of his/her conditioning:
Great Fitness Sites I (Conditioning)

Great Fitness Sites II (Aches and Pains)

(go here for tennis elbow, wrist and shoulder probs, etc)
Have a good workout!

that site is for weight lifters. if tennis player did that , he couldn't play tennis because of too much muscles.

Not really, cressey also coaches a lot of Baseball Players and other athletes. He used to be a power lifter but his programs are still a lot better suited for Players than for example starting strength or 5*5 because he adjusts his programs to individual Needs of athletes. he is not a dogmatic power lifter, for example he doesn't have his pitchers do back squats and bench presses because he thinks those are hard on the shoulders which is stressed hard on pitchers anyway and instead uses a lot of specific excercises.
Um, no. Starting Strength is for novice trainees. Ie., those who can recover from a workout in 48 hours or less and lift more weight the next time. Which is the category 99% of everyone who might ever read this thread will ever be. And having a strong upper body is better for every athlete than not having one. This is in line with the "squats are bad for the knees" mentality that is out there. Squats *done wrong* are bad for the knees, as is most everything else. But squats aren't bad for the knees, nor are presses bad for the shoulders. And I have no idea why squats would be hard on the shoulders. If you're flexible enough to throw a ball that hard, you are flexible enough to get the bar in the right position.

You should just stay away from anything fitness related until you've educated yourself. I've already seen you say you ran a 4.3 40 METER DASH(lol, and no you don't run a 4.3 40 yard dash either). I called you on it and you disappeared. Now you say stupid stuff like the above^.
Fact is most people can't get big and bulky even if they wanted to, let alone on accident from a routine. I expect a lot of people that visit tennis forums aren't very fitness literate, but come on this is sad.

just look at the guy man,, he is built like Mr. Universe. you can't play tennis like that
Did you read what I said at all? Do you really think that you could walk into a gym, do that lifting routine, and end up looking like Mr. Universe? Like why do you think every dude that goes to a gym isn't huge? I don't even know where to start because your understanding is so limited.

The fitnessfaqs guy is also a physiotherapist who knows his stuff. He's geared more toward bodyweight training.

This guy's YouTube channel is a trove. He's a fairly chiseled fitness head. The best part of his videos is the way that they are delivered, with down-to-earth insights. He's an erudite jock who drops the health knowledge on you like a professor.

His video is the only one that every made me able to do lateral raises without pain. My shoulders have gotten way wider thanks to him

Nostradamus, hire a personal trainer and have her/him workout a tennis related set of exercises for you and a run through of all of them so you know how to do them without injury to yourself! If you have more money, hire a physical therapist to do the same thing, they have more knowledge but either will be okay. You seem completely lost in how to do any sort of weigh training or strength training!

Nostradamus start easy and work up. Do not get injured! You do not make a living like these people, so do not go to 100%, try 20%-30% effort for month before moving up in weight and duration. Have fun! Think 6 month timeframe, not a month.

There are tons of great exercises tennis players can do. Some important things to consider are the following:
1. Needs and capability of player
2. safety of exercise
3. order of exercises
4. length of exercises (time under load)
5. intensity of exercise
6. choice of exercises
7. length of workouts and amount of workouts per week

Does anyone have any actual video of tennis players doing Rippetoe type workouts? I think there's are some (enjoyable) photos of Azarenka doing stiff legged deadifts. .

This.
Without a baseline level of strength and mind/muscle connection developed through heavy lifting of the 'big 3' movements, everything else is moot and just increases (nay, guarantees) injury.
