Keep the Quads Angry

4/8
Tennis - Singles 1hr
Hit around with Vilay to warmup for the next day's match.

4/9
Tennis - Singles USTA 3.5
Ugh. Played an opponent who sliced every forehand and backhand. I had no answer and got annihilated. Was not pleased with my performance.  Should have tried more drop shots and coming up to the net. Trying to generate pace and playing a baseline game is a terrible game-plan against a slicer. It didn't help that I hadn't played for the previous two weeks.  Can't be off the court that long and expect to do well. Bah.

This was a rather intensive session at the gym. For the WOD, I think I need to increase the kb weight, but the gym does not have a 25lb or 30lb kb. Grrrr. I might increase the bench by 5lb. Felt good about the WOD. Felt ok about the back squats and DLs, although I think my back is rounding during the DLs. Couldn't get in front of a mirror for my back squats so not sure how those went. Need to get a spotter so that I can try for a higher weight on the bench. Overall I felt good about the workout. Need to get a better program as far as reps are concerned, especially the squats and DLs, but want to keep doing what I'm doing until my form is better.
