Tennis Serve Exercises - Standing Tricep Extension [Tennis Serve Power]

Tennis serve exercises are a great way to improve the strenght and power of your serve. Why? The tennis serve is one and if not THE most important stroke in tennis as it sets the pace for the match. If you manage to hit a consistent serve throughout the game which is fuelled with power and accuracy the your oppoennt will be on the defensive all throughout the game. However if you hit a rubbish serve all the way through then you will find yoursel on the defensive and your opponent on the offinsive which is a place you don't want to be in. The best way to start creating this killer serve is to increase the power of your serve with some tennis serve exercises.

Standing Tricep Extension
An exercise that will help you increase the strength in your serve is the standing tricep extension which is very simple but is also VERY effective!

For this you will need a weight that you are comfortable lifting 10-15 reps with.

  1. Hold that weight in one of your hands
  2. Bring that hand up above your head straightening your arm
  3. Bring the weight down (bending at the elbow) behind your head
  4. Bring it back up to a straight position
  5. Repeat 10-15 times

This is one of the many tennis serve exercises that you will greatly benefit from so make sure you include it in your exercise routine.
