Thread: Baseball Training?

saying where the tendon problem is.....well it is pretty much necessary in order to get any feedback....ie shoulder, forearm, tri, bi, ect.

it is the elbow. if you were to twist your arm so you could c your forearm that part of the elbow the bottum part of it. if you know what im sayin hehe?

Try switching to dumbell curls instead of barbell IMO.

My brother had that for the same reason, and his arm has never been the same, so I hope it's not very serious in your case. I know that his coach and physical therapist had him doing very specific exercises for it though. One was holding a DB with weight on just one side and just twisting it with your wrist, and things that mainly used very light weights with exercises basically only used in physical therapy. I would just ask my coach and/or go see a therapist if I were you. Good luck.

Mudge. do think it will still be alright if i did the db curls maybe two sets? and then when i do my back that should be enough? because i am a pitcher so i cant really have big arms. and what abuot tri's? what work outs would you recomend? thanks for your time. and squaggleboogin yea i go to a doctore that does this stuff to it its like a tens unit or something like that.

i would simply get more rest, workout during the offseason, dont train arms at all and do lot of stretching before u pitch

If you can throw a baseball 84 mph at 15 years old do not do anything to jeopardize your arm. A strenght coach at the college or pro level will help you when you get there.

you throwing a lot of junk?

Why not have big arms and pitch? I would think big is fine as long as you keep flexible. I've seen some HUGE guys that are more flexible than me.

nah man, u dont want to get big arms and pitch, chance for injury goes through the roof, keep your arms lean, if u throw in the 80s at 15 ull be making alot of money in the near future anyways. dont fuck it up

yea i dont throw alot of junk to answer ur q. i throw 4 seem fastball/two seem fastball/change up/split/ & knuck. yea im pretty big for my age around were i live not to brag or anything becuase i got along way to brag before i brag. i think one of the problems was i was workin out my forearms and they were way to tight and i was taking some nitrix oxide product. so i think i am going to stick wit creatine not both i already have enough veins hehe, and no i dont think thats all that product does just incase u people dont htink i know what im talking about. it would take me 30 pitches to get warmed up. yes my volecity was 86 but i throw about 84/83 on the mound. And i was wondering for the flexiblity how would i be really fleaxible?

86 MPH 4-Seem FB, I would love to face you in a game!!!!

Drop the Knuckle ball it is shit pitch and will only prevent you from improving on your fastball. It may be part of the problem with the Tendonitis. Glad to see you aren't throwing any Curveballs.

Do you do any long toss?

Yes i do long toss twice a week. and i ice after every time i throw . Yes my dad has told me to drop the knuck becuase i can make it dominate 1 out of 3 pitches i throw it but i have to admit it does dance .

I have never seen a pitcher with big arms. Flexibility and speed are more important for pitching.

Well if u look at rogerclems arms they are pretty damn big. so i really dont konw about that. if imma be big imma have to be flexible. the bad thing is i dont know how to be like that ?

Roger is big overall though. Look at his legs. (btw that is the key to a good pitcher LEGS)

Stretch. All the crap you hear about being too bulky and unable to move is just that - crap. It's definitely not true. The only way you're going to get like that is if you gain some incredible size, which you wouldn't with your routine anyways. Like I said, as long as you stretch adequately, you won't have a problem. My legs are easily a few inches bigger each than they were when I started, and I've grown pretty much everywhere, but I can touch the floor with my legs straight pretty easily - it's all about stretching.

Yea c i cant touch my toes haha. And i was thinking abuot also using ruber tubing to stretch out and all

If you can't touch your toes, then start trying. It really only takes about five minutes a day to stretch, but I'd guess that a very high percentage of workout-related injuries could be avoided altogether with increased flexibility. There are tons of different stretches you can do, and all of them can help in some way.
