Really enjoying your videos, stabilization has been the #1 thing I've been working on recently, feels like everything else sort of flows through that stable base.
This is the 1st video on TH-cam that explains the back foot "grounding" as all other videos focus on backfoot "drag" which doesn't give the same stability as the knee bent/grounding
It's not very common to strengthen your arm to get a stronger swing. Sometimes training the arm can just make it heavier and actually slow the swing. However using bands can be a good way to strengthen and stretch your squash arm for squash. I believe this is the most popular way racket sports players warm up or exert ice their playing arm.
I'd like to add that upper body calisthenics works too. Always technique first, but those push ups and pull ups can make a lot of difference in your overall strenght without making you heavier.
I've been doing my own gym plan for some months now focused on squash improvement. It is based on calisthenics, stability training, explosive exercises (explosive lunges, and medicine ball exercises. I suggest you start doing medicine ball workouts like throwing from the side (imitating the swing). Every rotational exercise (which include spine rotation) will be great for your squash game.

I’m glad to hear that!

Exactly. Dragging your back foot also means you are taking more momentum forwards making it harder to come back to the T.
great stuff!
Thanks!
Do you have any tips about strength in the actual swing like exercises to improve the arm strength surrounding squash swing

Focusing on Technique however will have the biggest impact on making you hit the ball harder or more accurate. I would invest more time into that.

@@jugutierrez Using just Body weight is probably a great way to go about it 👍
