Baseball Pitching Strength

Hi Elliot

I have a kid in our high school strength and conditioning program who is a junior. He plays football, basketball, track, and baseball. I’m the strength coach and baseball coach and this kid is one of my pitchers. He has never had any trauma to his right shoulder…no dislocations, no tears, no nothing. The school hired me as the strength coach in January and hired me as the baseball coach in January. So I haven’t been with them long. Every time this kid bench presses with barbell or dumbells whether it be a max rep on bench press or fatigue from high rep on dumbell bench his right arm sags while his left arm has the weight all the way to the top. Follow me on this…today the kid maxed out on bench press and he had 235lbs on. He explodes off his chest and his left arm drives the weight all the way up, but his right arm sags and starts to drop so I have to help him finish the rep. I’m concerned for his safety and have watched this on more than one occassion with him and want to help him. He has absolutely NO PAIN in his right shoulder. Are their some exercises we can do to help him with this problem? Like I said he is a pitcher and all my pitchers have been working twice a week to get ready for the season and he has no complaints when he throws. I don’t get it and would appreciate your help in any way possible.

Thanks

I’ve been experimenting with several different training and meal plan systems in order to “shape up” a bit and give my body a rest from lifting 320 lb. Stones and 750 lb. Yokes.  Also, this give me first hand information that I can relay to you about the effectiveness of various diets and training programs.

As I mentioned in the video above, I’ve lost over 10 lbs of fat and bloat in the past 2 weeks by using the following new modalities and resources.

#1 - Check out this free report about High Volume Training For Muscle Growth.  This is the kind of stuff that bodybuilders use to gain freaky size without using heavy weights.  But make no mistake… this is not some BS workout! — Be ready with a puke bucket and a diaper if you are going to give this workout a try.

#2 -I hate diets!! So I am not going to even call this a freaking diet.  But it is a “meal plan” that works and I am currently using to drop some unnecessary body fat while maintaining my Pro Strongman Strength
