My #1 rotational power move for pitchers: Tornado Ball... Wall Slams ✅Learn to "close the gap" explosively (oblique sling) ✅Forces lead leg stabilization ✅Forces explosive hip rotation ✅Can apply WAY more intensity than MBs You can see the impact of that simple cue in the second half of the video. From “hey demo this drill” to trying to do damage. The entire pattern shifts. Athletes love this one once they get in the groove because you can feel the entire oblique sling working, unlike most MB throws. It feels like you’re throwing absolute haymakers with your core around a stable lead leg. “Break the wall.”show more

Hip airplanes might be the single best exercise for... runners. They've been in my routine for over a year now. I've been using them as a mobility drill. Bodyweight, slow, pushing the end range before a run. When my hip starts acting up, I hit a few reps of this goat mobility drill and usually find immediate relief after a few sets. One movement. Multiple benefits: → Foot splay → Lower leg rotation → Hip stability → Hip strength in multiple planes of motion Make this a staple in your exercise routine. Doesn't matter if you do it before or after your run or during your leg day routine.show more
