How Do You Gain Velocity, Safely?

You drive your back leg like tarikskubal

Despite the super high leg kick, Tarik is always gaining momentum towards the plate and that’s how you throw hard, safely.

In the first slow-mo clip, we can tell that while his front leg is heading up, he’s loading his back hip and drifting towards the plate. It’s much easier to see in the top and side views and by the final clip we can see how fast his body is moving-hence why he throws so hard.

How to use weighted balls safely:

Plyo or weighted balls aren’t scary.

It’s no different to lifting weights in a gym-if you focus on great technique and minimise fatigue. How hard you throw them and how many times you do it is down to how well you can do it at a certain intensity, for a certain number of reps.

Plyo’s are a critical part of our throwing warm ups, if you’d like to know how we use them, comment “warm up” to get our FREE E-Book: The Ultimate Throwing Warm Up

How many pitches should you throw to avoid injury?

In this clip are two amazing pitchers. One has had TWO elbow surgeries already. How many pitches should be allowed to throw to try and protect him?

The answer lies not in how many overall, but how many high intensity throws (>80% max effort).

A sudden increase in the number of high intensity throws increases your risk of injury over subsequent outings.
