Answer 1

i'm also a middle blocker, and i'm tall and thin so my hits weren't very powerful at the beginning of the summer when I started training. I started weight lifting and after a week or two I noticed a huge difference in my serves and hits. You could get some weights and start doing sets whenever get the chance. but you basically just have keep hitting and trying and you will start to improve.

Answer 2

its not always how strong you are that depends on how hard your hit is. you might want to make sure when you hit you get your elbow up and swing all the way through. make sure you snap your wrist and explode on your approach. it also helps to have a fast arm swing. you can practice your arm swing by just hitting a ball against the wall.
