Pro's Tip by Marc Majdick: Serve "Up and Out"

The match is on the line. You feel the pressure; and need to come up with an "offensive" serve. Remember your fundamentals: take a deep breath; and hit "up and out" on the serve. Your preparation should include a purpose, usually deep to the forehand or backhand. Relax, jiggle your hand, and hang your arms. Start with: a drop of the ball, a rhythmical takeback, and calm lift of the toss. Dip at the knees, with your tossing arm left up. Then, thrust your body upward; and hit "behind and across the ball." Your forearm and wrist should pronate outward. Bang, the serve is in, and you are off to a great start! To learn spin, choke up on your racket. Hold three balls. Prepare for a series of three quick consecutive hits. The idea will be to "set" yourself up for the third hit. The first ball, you hit with underspin (under the ball). Immediately, hit the second ball, with sidespin (side of the ball). And then the third ball, with a three quarter spin (1:30 position on a clock/ball). You can practice topspin (back of the ball), by tossing the ball directly above your head. Act as though, your hand is brushing up the back of your head. The ball should clear an imaginary volleyball net, several feet in front of you. To hit flat. Go to the back fence. Flatten your racket face against the fence, then turn and hit the ball as deep as possible to the opposite baseline. Then, come forward, to the baseline, and flop (let go of) your wrist, at the top of your motion. When serving, imagine your "arms like spaghetti, hands like a wash rag, body like a skeleton." Hit up and out. And,"19 out of 20" in. You do that; and you will find yourself, in a "winning" position!

Racquetball Tip:

PINCHES & SPLAT SHOTS

By description, the pinch shot and splat shot are the same. Hit the sidewall first, then the front wall, with the ball bouncing twice before the front line near the other sidewall. The pinch is

executed near the middle of the court with the ball hitting the sidewall closer to the corner. This

shot can be hit with pace or finesse and is described as spinning out of the corner. Again, two bounces before the front line. The splat is executed when the ball is near the sidewall,

therefore, driving the ball farther back into the sidewall. The ball compresses as it reaches the

front wall and makes a "splat" noise after decompressing. The difference between the two: the splat is a POWER shot only and the pinch can be power or finesse. Both shots

are meant to end the rally. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

TRAINER’S TIP: Having trouble getting to the gym?

Here are two tips that may help.

Schedule your workouts just like you would any other appointment. If you

try to squeeze it in around everything else you do, you

probably won’t do it. Write it on your calendar for each day you plan on going and put your workout gear in

your car before you leave the house to go to work or run errands.

Enlist a workout buddy. Working out

with a partner will give you accountability and motivation. It is statistically proven that people who work out with a partner or in groups

will be more likely to stick to their exercise program

YOU MAY HAVE BEEN A BIT SLUGGISH (OR BEARISH) over the winter. After all, frigid weather is enough to make anyone want to hole up. But unlike grizzlies, men don't emerge slimmer come spring. Indeed, all that extra time spent indoors subsisting on beer and Xbox tends to pack a couple of pounds on a guy. The kicker: Most of us never lose that weight. Here's your exit strategy for leaving the cave leaner. 1. Start slowly Many men try to pick up where they left off and immediately start slinging around heavy weights. The result: sore muscles, stressed joints, and a downward spiral of missed workouts. Your move: If you were hibernating for most of the winter, begin with half the weight you lifted previously, and then increase your load by 10 percent a week. This might sound tedious, but you'll see the benefits add up quickly; within 8 weeks you'll be stronger than you were before. 2. Plan ahead Research shows that eight workouts a month is the minimum required to stick to a fitness plan. And the more frequently you exercise, the better the odds are that your initial effort will turn into a healthy habit. Your move: Mark off at least two workouts a week on your monthly

2

calendar, and try to schedule your exercise time for the same hour each day. Hormonal adaptations cause your body to "remember" when you usually exercise, making you strongest at that time, according to Tunisian researchers. 3. Grab iron first Think running is the fastest path to a leaner body? It's not. In fact, endurance training can inhibit muscle building, a Norwegian study found. The result: less fat burning. Your move: "Make your first four workouts lifting sessions," says Wunsch, who also advises skewing the rest of your fitness plan in favor of strength training. "Building a foundation of lean muscle will stoke your calorie furnace and accelerate weight loss." 4. Feed your gains "People often skip protein shakes after they exercise, thinking they'll save 200 to 300 calories," says Wunsch. "But a protein shot accelerates lean muscle growth, which in turn revs metabolism and burns more fat." Your move: Find a powder with at least 20 grams of protein and 4 or more grams of leucine (an amino acid that can boost muscle growth) per serving. In a recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, leucine helped boost muscle gains by 33 percent.

Forget about your alleged high-revving metabolism. Most lean men who can't gain muscle weight are simply eating and exercising the wrong way. Here's your fix: Follow these 10 principles to pack on as much as a pound of muscle each week. 1. Maximize muscle building. The more protein your body stores—in a process called protein synthesis—the larger your muscles grow. But your body is constantly draining its protein reserves for other uses—making hormones, for instance. The result is less protein available for muscle building. To counteract that, you need to build and store new proteins faster than your body breaks down old proteins. 2. Eat meat. Shoot for about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, which is roughly the maximum amount your body can use in a day, according to a landmark study in the Journal of Applied Physiology. (For example, a 160-pound man should consume 160 grams of protein a day—the amount he'd get from an 8-ounce chicken breast, 1 cup of cottage cheese, a roast-beef sandwich, two eggs, a glass of milk, and 2 ounces of peanuts.) Split the rest of your daily calories equally between carbohydrates and fats. 3. Eat more. In addition to adequate

10 Muscle-Building Tips

protein, you need more calories. Use the following formula to calculate the number you need to take in daily to gain 1 pound a week. (Give yourself 2 weeks for results to show up on the bathroom scale. If you haven't gained by then, increase your calories by 500 a day.) A. Your weight in pounds: _____ B. Multiply A by 12 to get your basic calorie needs: _____ C. Multiply B by 1.6 to estimate your resting metabolic rate (calorie burn without factoring in exercise): _____ D. Strength training: Multiply the number of minutes you lift weights per week by 5: _____ E. Aerobic training: Multiply the number of minutes per week that you run, cycle, and play sports by 8: _____ F. Add D and E, and divide by 7: _____ G. Add C and F to get your daily calorie needs: _____ H. Add 500 to G: _____. This is your estimated daily calorie needs to gain 1 pound a week. 4. Work your biggest muscles. If you're a beginner, just about any workout will be intense enough to increase protein synthesis. But if you've been lifting for a while, you'll build the most muscle quickest if you focus on the large muscle groups, like the chest, back, and legs. Add squats, deadlifts, pullups, bent-over rows, bench presses, dips, and military presses to your workout. Do two or three sets of eight to 12 repetitions,

Page 12: OAC April 2012 Newsletter

3

with about 60 seconds' rest between sets. 5. But first, have a stiff drink. A 2001 study at the University of Texas found that lifters who drank a shake containing amino acids and carbohydrates before working out increased their protein synthesis more than lifters who drank the same shake after exercising. The shake contained 6 grams of essential amino acids—the muscle-building blocks of protein—and 35 grams of carbohydrates. Since exercise increases bloodflow to your working tissues, drinking a carbohydrate-protein mixture before your workout may lead to greater uptake of the amino acids in your muscles. For your shake, you'll need about 10 to 20 grams of protein—usually about one scoop of a whey-protein powder. Can't stomach protein drinks? You can get the same nutrients from a sandwich made with 4 ounces of deli turkey and a slice of American cheese on whole wheat bread. But a drink is better. Liquid meals are absorbed faster. So tough it out. Drink one 30 to 60 minutes before your workout. 6. Lift every other day. Do a full-body workout followed by a day of rest. Studies show that a challenging weight workout increases protein synthesis for up to 48 hours immediately after your exercise session. Your muscles grow when you're resting, not when you're

4

working out. 7. Down the carbs after your workout. Research shows that you'll rebuild muscle faster on your rest days if you feed your body carbohydrates. Post-workout meals with carbs increase your insulin levels, which, in turn, slows the rate of protein breakdown. Have a banana, a sports drink, a peanut-butter sandwich. 8. Eat something every 3 hours. If you don't eat often enough, you can limit the rate at which your body builds new proteins. Take the number of calories you need in a day and divide by six. That's roughly the number you should eat at each meal. Make sure you consume some protein—around 20 grams—every 3 hours. 9. Make one snack ice cream. Have a bowl of ice cream (any kind) 2 hours after your workout. According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition , this snack triggers a surge of insulin better than most foods do. And that'll put a damper on post-workout protein breakdown. 10. Have some milk before bed. Eat a combination of carbohydrates and protein 30 minutes before you go to bed. The calories are more likely to stick with you during sleep and reduce protein breakdown in your muscles. Try a cup of raisin bran with a cup of skim milk or a cup of cottage cheese and a small bowl of fruit. Eat again as soon as you wake up. The more diligent you are, the better results you'll get.
