I made club volleyball..but i need to strenghen my arms?

Question

I made my club team and my coach wants me to play power but the problem is that i used to middle and that too only for the school team. i want to make my arms stronger so i'm looking for some detailed upper arm strengthening exercises with weights. i have access to the gym in my complex which has lots of weights and weight machines. club vball starts at the end of january so i have like a month and a half to work on this

Answer 1

You should do sit ups, crunches, and bicycle to strengthen your abs.in hitting your abs give you more strength to hit the ball. To strengthen your arms just put your arm in a 90 degree angle with a weight in your hand and turn you arm up and down, then to your chests and out.

Answer 2

PUSH UPS. They are the absolute best thing you can do. Doing them helps so much. Don't kill yourself with them all at once, but start easy and do them more often rather than alot at one time. You'll get stronger faster. i play volleyball softball n basketball =] ive done enough of them. i hate them haha, but they work.

Answer 3

you should do push ups or lift weights I needed to too  and I did

Answer 4

You need a personal trainer.

It is too risky to "try" everything by yourself. Find a coach that is willing to charge you less (or no charge) so that you don't have to worry whether you could accidentally hurt yourself.

Answer 5

yeah, use weights and do push- ups (real ones)

Answer 6

Yea it is a good idea to strengthen your arms, but don't forget to work on other parts such as legs, which are more important in volleyball. I agree with most of the people, go with the push-ups. Increase the number of sets you do every few days. Increase the number of push-ups in each set about every 3 times you change the number of sets.

Ex:

Day 1 : 3 sets of 10

Day 2: 4 sets of 10

Day 3: 5 sets of 10

Day 4 3 sets of 15

Day 5 4 sets of 15 and etc.
