David Yeager replied to AJ Peterson's discussion Tips for added arm strength?"AJ,
Most of the responses to your question are right on track. Almost 55% of the forces that are generated to perform the throwing motion are created from the lower body. This force is then transferred through the trunk and arm…"

Doug White replied to AJ Peterson's discussion Tips for added arm strength?"Hello AJ,

Mike Easler replied to AJ Peterson's discussion Tips for added arm strength?"A.J
When you lift the big muscle groups, like squats, deadlifts etc.. lift heavy. Heavy means getting enough weight where you can do 2-3 reps and no more.
an exercise called the "plank" is one of the best core exercises you can do. I go…"
AJ Peterson replied to AJ Peterson's discussion Tips for added arm strength?"Okay great, but specifically do you have any lifts to suggest that I lift heavily? Like I work out an arms day and then a legs day, so what lifts should i incorporate more of?
What specifically can help my core get stronger and have more longevity?"
Mike Easler replied to AJ Peterson's discussion Tips for added arm strength?"Hi, I'm Brandon Smith, professional strength coach and contributor to Mike Easler's hitting programs. Here are some quick thoughts:

Bernard M Gallo replied to AJ Peterson's discussion Tips for added arm strength?"The chain workout is something new that I like that Wolforth and Oates Specialties are doing that looks like a great way to increase the "twitchiness" I like to see in athletes. The kettlebells are another great workout baseball players…"
