It's super common to see touring players do int/ext banded rotation in warm up, but often their S&C coaches treat it more as just go through the range of motion for 30 sec/1 min without any designed purpose. The two sets of 10 sec holds (including shoulder flexion which I almost never see) could be a good protocol in place of this. As for the point about increasing mass, a lot of tennis operates in the stretch-shortening cycle in translating to generating racquet head speed. One of the best carryovers to the tennis serve I've learned from Dane is around training for recruiting high threshold motor units in the 80-90% 1rm on a movement pattern such as the hang clean. Just focusing on the quicker rate between eccentric-concentric translates into generating way more explosive ability to leg drive in the serve, which is the real force generator in the service motion.
An idea about doing this before matches or in between? Could you back to the chain link or situate correctly and do several of these isometricly? Just a idea.

Holy shit, I’ve been a tennis coach for 10 years now, for not being a tennis coach yourself, this is spot on. Your coaching translates so well.

Great stuff. Thanks

Thanks a lot
This guy is on it! Superstar
Isometric internal rotation for 10 sec, 2 sets
Sorry, I could be wrong but isn't that shoulder extension? Isn't should flexion vertically going up?
Please can you do a roadbike cycling training video.
Executive summary please
