STOP trying to rotate from the hips! Instead, focus on how your lead leg is moving through the downswing & follow through & you might just find you get the lower body rotation as a result! The hips DO rotate, but not from trying to rotate them... 👇👇👇

🚨 Most pitchers are leaking velocity without realizing it… The problem isn’t your arm. It’s your DRIVE LEG. ⚡️ If your back leg collapses inward during the delivery, your body loses force before it ever reaches the baseball. That means: ❌ Less velo ❌ Poor command ❌ More stress on the arm Elite pitchers do the opposite. They create powerful external rotation in the drive leg to load force, stabilize the lower half, and explode down the mound. 🔥 Here’s what separates high-velocity throwers from everyone else: ✅ Stable drive-leg mechanics ✅ Explosive force transfer through the kinetic chain ✅ Controlled momentum into front-foot strike ✅ More velocity with less arm stress Your legs generate the power. Your arm just delivers it. 💥 If you want to throw harder, move more efficiently, and train like the pros, TopVelocity breaks down the exact mechanics and drills used to build elite-level pitching velocity. 👇 Comment “VELO” and we’ll send you the training. 🔗 Or visit Brent Pourciau, M.S..org to start developing pro-level mechanics today. #TopVelocity #PitchingVelocity #PitchingMechanics #BaseballTraining #ThrowHarder

80% of pitching velocity comes from rotation. The biggest mistake I see is guys trying to rotate by pushing hard down the mound. They try to push to create as much linear momentum as possible. That’s actually the wrong way to approach it. When you push, it becomes much harder to rotate effectively. Rotation is where most of your pitching velocity comes from. Hip to shoulder separation is responsible for about 80 percent of your velocity. If you take away from that separation, you’re taking away from your velocity. That’s why even from your knees you should be able to throw about 80 percent of your top velocity. What we want to do is maximize rotation and create as much separation as possible. Your pelvis fires toward the target while the ribcage, shoulders, and pec stay back. That stretch creates torque through your torso. That torque is what propels the arm through the throw. I created a full guide on this, so if you want it, comment guide below and I’ll send it over.

POV: you throw through the target. This might be the most underrated cue in baseball for increasing pitching velocity. It’s the idea of throwing through the target. Tom House did a study on this. He found that 80 percent of pitching velocity comes from separation and rotation. The other 20 percent comes from how well you track toward the target and direct energy through it. I made this mistake for years. I built a delivery where I would pull off. I tried to create power with rotation alone. What actually happened was I leaked energy sideways instead of directing it through the target. One of my favorite examples is Yamamoto. He doesn’t spin off. All of his energy is directed through and toward the target. He even finishes going forward. Everything goes through the target, not just rotation. Here’s the key. You still need rotation. That’s 80 percent of your pitching velocity. You can throw about 80 percent of your velocity from your knees because of rotation. But if you don’t direct that energy through the target, you’re leaving velocity on the table.

This is one of the best best hip mobility drills you’ve never tried. This split squat isometric with an emphasis on pressure into the foam roller, will help you bias improving either internal or external rotation of the hips. It just depends on how you set it up, but it’s easy to do either.

Weak wrists can limit your striking power, reduce control, and increase the risk of injury during intense training or sparring. In combat sports, your wrists absorb a lot of impact — whether you are punching, gripping, clinching, or posting on the mat

3 tips for better running efficiency 🏃‍♀️👇 1️⃣ In Alignment: Keep your shoulders down and back, hips up, and focus on striking with the middle part of your foot. 2️⃣ Lean From Your Ankles: Don’t bend at the hips! Keep your body aligned and lean slightly from the ankles to naturally propel yourself forward. 3️⃣ Practice, Practice, Practice: Show up every day, practice your drills, and focus on your form. Consistency builds the muscle memory you need to get faster, easier.

The rotator cuff consists of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. These originate on your scapula, or shoulder blade, and insert on different parts of your humerus, or upper arm. As a whole, they provide dynamic stability to the shoulder joint, while individually, they assist with various shoulder movements, including abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. Since these muscles contribute to multiple shoulder movements along with other muscles, you really cannot isolate the rotator cuff. Even with external rotation, which is performed mostly by the infraspinatus and teres minor, you will receive some assistance from the posterior deltoid. Therefore, in order to maximize rotator cuff strength, our recommendation would be to focus on a comprehensive program. This will better prepare you for a wide variety of tasks and activities involving the shoulder. To demonstrate what we mean, let’s consider the biceps. If you perform pull ups and rows, these exercises will secondarily work the biceps. However, if your goal was to maximize strength and hypertrophy of the biceps, you would also incorporate isolation exercises, like a biceps curl. The rotator cuff is no different. Compound pushing and pulling exercises at various angles will challenge the rotator cuff, but if you want to train your shoulders to their full potential, a comprehensive program that also includes isolation exercises in different directions will likely be the most optimal. These are just SOME external rotation strengthening options. Learn more:

No better way to finish a workout. Centr Combining a sauna with an ice bath is an effective way to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, speed up muscle recovery and elevate your mood. The heat from the sauna causes blood vessels to dilate, which improves blood flow and reduces inflammation. The cold from the ice bath causes blood vessels to constrict, which improves circulation and reduces muscle soreness. This contrast between hot and cold temperatures helps to improve overall recovery and reduce the risk of injury.

The difference in the way Drew threw in HS/college and what we saw in the videos from the Steelers rookie camp is extremely subtle (basically a slight adjustment w/ the front leg and zero change to his upper half or arm path/slot) and most wouldn’t be able to pick up on it. I disagree that he was early with his external rotation during college. The video below (from 2024) shows his typical approach over the past 7 years…staying loaded and coiled on the back leg until the front foot makes contact with the ground. The drill is designed to keep him loaded in his back glute, and maintain the discipline to not fire his hips early, until his front foot gets down. His front foot and hip slightly clear (while staying coiled in the core) to allow the hips to come through cleanly. That slight opening of the front hip, along with the slight closure-internal rotation-of the front shoulder is how hip-shoulder separation is created. Getting the hips to come through first (while the shoulders and arms stay back), then the torso, then the shoulders, is how hip-shoulder separation (power) is maximized. Learned that from Chris Hess and it’s been a fantastic tool.

Squaring The Face Controlling your golf ball is all about managing the club face. Understanding the how the arms will influence the club face is key. The lead arm will have some internal rotation in the backswing, therefore we will need to add external rotation to this arm through the release. If we fail to do this, we will leave the face open and often bring in more chicken wing/scoop patterns through contact. Learning to externally rotate the lead arm will help you keep a flat lead wrist and deliver a stronger loft. If you’re a player who tends to slice or fade the ball, this concept will help you to feel what you need to square it up. I just posted the full version of this lesson on the ProShopApp!!! Comment “SQUARE” if you’d like access to the video.

🔥HARDEST DRILL IN GOLF🔥 Hell Drill! This is a great drill if you can do it! Great for increasing rotation through the impact area and into the through swing. The key here though, is to make sure your club face is in a strong position on the way down (not open) Try this drill out and let me know if you can do it 👊🏼 PS: Want a FREE video course?
