Hey all,
I consider myself as an intermediate player with 10 years of active badminton play (male with 170cm height), with at least twice a week to play.
However due to certain situation (not sickness nor injuries), i am not able to play badminton at all for 4 months straight. I recalled the last experience i had when rested from badminton for 3 weeks, my skill was going real rusty.
I have no idea to keep my current skill but only to maintain my physical attributes by regularly going to gym (3x/week), do treadmill, 60x sit-ups, push-up, heavy weight lifting, wrist training by lifting my wrist with 5kg of weight, and many more. In addition to that, i also try to hold my badminton training racket (170g) everyday, forehand & backhand swing it with cover on. I can now feel my muscle around arms, chest, tummy, and legs are getting bigger and harder than ever while my wrist is sometime feeling really numb and extremely exhausted because i overdid for the hand wrist part.
My question is, am i doing the right things here? Considering i was told that badminton player is best not to create big muscle around arms and chest as it will slow down the quick responses during fast game.
Thank you
