Warm-Up · RAMPPhase 1 · Shoulder armor & kinetic prep · 6-8 min

Time__ : __

1	Hip Circlessteady breathing rhythm	8 + 8
2	Arm Circleships fire first, shoulders lag — feel the separation stretch	6/side
3	Face Pull3-s eccentric on every external rotation — armor is built slow	2 × 12

Phase 2 · Footwork, Deceleration & Reactivity8-10 min · full recovery between reps · react to a call, not a plan

Time__ : __

1	Shuttle Runsplit-step lands AS the call comes — react, don't guess	6 × 8 s
2	Drop Stepplant, cut, and recover 180° to the centre mark	6 × 8 s
3	Depth Jumpbrake in two steps max — chest over knee, hips low	4 × 4/side

Phase 3 · Rotational Ballistics — Kinetic Chain10-12 min · 100% intent per throw · rest 45-60 s · both sides

Time__ : __

	1	Ball Slamthrow along the stroke line — scoop forehand, slam serve	5 × 4
	2	Overhead Throwhips fire first, shoulders lag — feel the separation stretch	5 × 4

Phase 4 · Court Strength & Deceleration Anchor15-18 min · unilateral bias · tempo eccentrics · rest 90 s

Time__ : __

1	Step-Upknee tracks the second toe on every wide plant	3 × 6/side	kg
2	Kettlebell Swinghips low and loaded before the racquet arm moves	3 × 6	kg
3	Chest-Supported Rowhips fire first, shoulders lag — feel the separation stretch	3 × 8	kg
4	Overhead Carryknee tracks the second toe on every wide plant	2 × 20 m	kg

Progression: Ballistic rule: throw at 100% intent, full recovery — power dies in fatigue. Every throw matches a stroke trajectory: scoop = forehand, step-behind = backhand, slam = serve.

Phase 5 · Posterior Decompression & Vagal Reset4-6 min · sleeper-line shoulder traction, psoas release, breathwork

Time__ : __

1	Cross-Body Posterior Shoulder Stretch3-s eccentric on every external rotation — armor is built slow	45 s/side
