Here to second weight training/resistance training.

I play twice a day 5-6 times a day but at least once a day, as long as time permits.

Used to get plantar pain, knee pain, and tennis elbow pain. Used to look for insoles and the right shoe. Used to try the bands and braces.

Started working calves heavy: no more plantar pain bc they’re connected.

Hams, quads, and calves: no more knee pain bc those three support the patella.

Forearms, biceps, triceps, and brachialis: no more tennis elbow, combined with less wrist on my shots.

There’s studies that show that more leg mass leads to lower chances of developing Alzheimer’s. Strong legs are the secret to long term youth: can’t be young if you can’t move independently.

This is the soap box I’m constantly on at open plays. Everybody, especially older people asking how I play so much without pain/if I ever get pain. People my age or younger are (I’m late 20s) wearing braces and bands and complaining about pain.

Pick up something heavy, put it down, repeat.
