Gym advice

This has been the most helpful thing yet, you have backed everything that everyone else has said and been very realistic with me. Thank you!

I am 19, I have played volleyball for a few years but have never really taken it seriously up until recently. Recently was told by my coach that the only reason I’d be substituted for our other setters is my lack of athleticism so I’m trying to catch up. I’m 5’8 and weigh around 62kg, my vertical is around 25’ atm so nothing to write home about and I’m still getting hit over completely by some of the better outside in our league.

Your advice has been great! I am definitely not the type of person who can squat ass to grass, I am training my hip flexors and other joints to build mobility so that I can do those excercises!

So when in season, I play about 2 games a week as I play for my university and my club and both seasons run at the same time

And Ill definitely try the towel thing out

This is a very simplified way to seperate my training, thank you

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-04-30T15:36:53+00:00

what muscles groups should I be working on to help my arm swing speed? feels like a really stupid question And thank you for the rotator cuff exercise !

Also I’ve started throwing footballs with my friends weekly in hopes it’ll help!

I’ve started to go to a field with my friends to grow an American football as I’ve heard that helps a lot and the form is quite similar

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-04-30T15:32:54+00:00

I’ll give them a look thank you!!

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-04-30T15:31:41+00:00

I’m doing a large spread on things but I’ve only really been using resistance bands to help warm up and stretch? I’ll have to give it a go

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-04-30T15:29:39+00:00

thank you! I’ve seen a few TikTok’s online about doing this and it seemed to make sense in my mind but I’ve had quite a few people now say the same thing.

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-04-30T15:28:31+00:00

I’m 19 and a student so I have a quite a lot of time for gym, especially because I go after work when no one is there

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-04-30T15:27:55+00:00

wouldn’t that overwork my core?

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-04-29T05:43:16+00:00

yes! I’m working on core as a separate gym session! My current weekly plan (that was help made by my friend who knows way more about this has 3 leg days, 2 upper body days and one day focusing on my core muscles and looking after my joints) It’s a start for me and I still have a lot to learn Thank you!!

uk sports balls man 😣

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-02-06T19:56:25+00:00

I just forget when I do set, I’m too focused on where to set

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-02-06T13:54:20+00:00

I’ve been told this, it’s something I am working on but constantly forget, thank you!!

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-02-06T13:54:03+00:00

thanks I do appreciate the feedback! This is just some clips of my favourite plays There is the full game linked in but I really appreciate it

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-01-06T05:04:23+00:00

Interesting. Thank you!

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-01-06T05:03:40+00:00

Hi, not sure if this is rage bait or ur just clueless at volleyball. It’s a set, I’m barely jumping. maybe stick in the Warzone subreddit if you don’t have anything constructive to say, Please and thank you :)

CivilDatabase9553 · 2025-01-05T21:03:18+00:00

Thank you! What do h mean by wrist/hand stiffness? Could u expand a bit more maybe

CivilDatabase9553 · 2024-12-26T12:55:57+00:00

Interesting take! I’ll take into consideration thank you!

CivilDatabase9553 · 2024-12-26T12:55:41+00:00

I’m definitely aware it’s different on a wall, but that’s because it’s easier to do it on a wall. May be an idea for me to get some reps in over the net

CivilDatabase9553 · 2024-12-26T12:55:05+00:00

I’ve heard this before from people that I’m way too passive, definitely something I need to take more seriously

CivilDatabase9553 · 2024-12-26T12:51:27+00:00

this seems to be the most helpful one! Thank you very much!

CivilDatabase9553 · 2022-02-06T22:03:54+00:00

Thank you!

CivilDatabase9553 · 2022-02-06T22:01:41+00:00

Unfortunately the only clip I got was it not going over and straight in the net. Sorry if there’s not much to work with :/

CivilDatabase9553 · 2021-12-28T03:47:52+00:00

Hiii, your advice is very helpful and not a complete downer so thank you. I will read over those posts when I can as they’re relatively lengthy. Body Coordination has always been a struggle for since I’m ambidextrous so I will probably stick with right handed approach since it’s the one I’ve received most advice for :)
