take this with a grain of salt as i am basically a level 2.5 player, but there is no feeling like getting on top of and whipping the shit out of a two-handed backhand. better than a good serve, better than a forehand winner, better than spiking an OH volley. i love it.
ha nice. I have a single handed backhand but i've been getting used to the form of a double handed backhand. I was hoping to hit against the wall this weekend and try it out. Feels really nice so far, but I havn't actually hit with it yet.

With this new approach to nutrition, how's it going? I'm sure eating that way feels great conditioning wise and all the running you do, but are you going to be doing the same when you start lifting more?
ya i'm not sure yet.. as you can see i havn't been lifting alot lately. It's somewhat the consequence of so much tennis and running. Not sure when I'm going to supplement lifting back into my routine; I know I wanted to at least maintain my 10-20 rep squat while doing all of this stuff, but so far I havn't. I'm pretty much trying to listen to my body and adapt to all of this consistently high volume of (sport specific) training.
Or are you gonna eventually up the protein intake? Just from what it looks like, you seem to not even be close to 1g/lb of BW in protein?
Ya I havn't been counting any of the macros, but i've suspected i'm not getting the standard protein intake. I'm ok with "shrinking" right now, so it's not much of a worry. The biggest worry is recovery & fat loss. My measurement right now is whether or not i'm able to keep doing my runs (at maintenance or improving intensity) and being able to practice tennis intensely. If I start breaking down more, i'll def need to up all of my macros. Eventually i'll need to carb-load more to really up the intensity of my runs.
fwiw, when I trained boxing way back (before I journaled etc), I was eating very light (lacked protein for sure); yet somehow I was a machine. This seems to be a pattern with me. When dunking I also ate light, but I often used protein supplements to get the extra protein; also ate lots of eggs, & got lots of carbs from bananas.
so ya i'm definitely going about this less scientifically, more by feel.
