Answer 1

Tennis is quite a cardio/aerobic sport though. Getting bigger for tennis or getting bigger in general?

If you want to get bigger in general, such gain muscle mass, than that workout won't do it.

Tennis players aren't that big, super muscles don't help them, Agassi and Nadal made some exceptions to those rules but than again they aren't that big.

If you want to work out for tennis, work on the footwork and endurance. if you want to gain some mass/weight than add weight training.

Typically for building muscle mass you go with high weights and low reps. For endurance we do the opposite. Just hit up tennis.com or something, but either way getting big won't help you in tennis. Remember strength and power doesn't always make you that ball faster/harder, it's mostly time and racquet speed.  

Answer 2

nope.. not ultimately.. because u are not targeting enough of the big core muscles, such as your chest, back, and legs!

u need to work each muscle once a week, everything, triceps, biceps, shoulders, back, legs, abs every other day..

with what u are doing with what u posted. u would only be doing primarily the biceps, uppear back, some triceps, and then some cardio. which is not bad.. but i would make it more complete by doing everything.... and more variety of exercises..

Answer 3

Tennis is first and foremost an endurance sport, so before you consider bulking up to get stronger consider working more on your endurance, agility and speed (cardio/respiratory systems) If you can outlast your opponents theres no need to overpower them. The jump rope sound good and also try some running, interval training and line drills to help get better.

Answer 4

Well, every day my team does a series of exercises to build up strength. Here's a few we do:

1) Leg lifts (Lay on ground with hands at sides, and lift your legs up about 6 inches off the ground. Hold it. Separate your legs. Put them together. Rest. Repeat).

2) We do slow push ups to the coaches count, and on the last one we hold for about 6 seconds.

3) We also run around the courts switching between running while bringing our legs up above our waist, kicking our feet to our butts, hopping on our right/left/both feet, back pedaling, running with hands above our heads, etc.

You should also do some stretching.  

Answer 5

you seem a little light for tennis, i cant imagine you can hit the ball as hard as you would like.

do heavy weights and get some upper body strength, aim to get up to around 155 - 160 pounds. the most important musles are forearm, triceps, shoulder and chest. pay lots of attention to these muscles

also work on your calves, very important for the serve. have you seen roger federer's calves? aim for something close to them

Answer 6

do more pratice with yuo feet and your arms
