Proper throwing sequence can really make a difference in accuracy and power of your throws. Making sure everything flows is very important. •Ball should start to separate out of the glove as you’re turning your body. •Ball should be back and ready to throw (palms down, elbows up) before your front foot hits. •Weight will transfer forward as you go to release. Think like your back leg and throwing arm are on a string. Both will release forward around same time.

In this drill I am working on throwing off my right foot. See how many you can do staying balanced. When throwing on the run, it’s easy to get pulled away from your target and fall all over the place. Keep your tilt, a loose arm and tight core. Start palms down elbows up, chest and hips to target as you’re throwing, and work on stay down as you release opposed to popping up.

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.

#PuntFactory Teach Tape 📝 I have said for YEARS - “Shoulders forward, arm relaxed.” Why do I say that? Putting your shoulders forward moves your hips back - think of EVERY movement you do in the weight room to become stronger… cleans, squats, box-jumps, deadlifts etc. THEY. ALL. MIMIC. THIS. MOTION. You are spending that much time under the bar to do what… stand tall & NOT translate onto the field? Shoulders forward = hips back = POWER Shoulders tall = hips underneath or in front of you = LESS HIP EXTENSION AND LESS POWER — Arm relaxed = leverage By keeping your drop arm relaxed you keep the ballin your wheelhouse - think of it as throwing yourself a fastball down the middle. Pushing the ball out to your foot & having your drop arm extended = having to shoot your hips forward at contact & LOSING LEVERAGE! — SHOULDERS FORWARD, ARM RELAXED Keep it up fellas 🤙🏼 PS - if you want to improve, hit me up for virtual film sessions or get down to Nashville to train with the best 👈🏼

Great stretch for people who sit at desks. It's called the Double band lat stretch. Loop 2 resistance bands (or towels) over a pull-up bar or fixed anchor above shoulder height. Grab both ends, hinge forward, and let your arms extend straight out in front of you. From here, slowly rotate side to side, feeling the stretch deepen through your lats and hips with each turn. Do this for 30 seconds to 60 seconds total. Your lats get chronically tight from sitting, and tight lats pull your shoulders forward, creating that rounded hunchback posture. This stretch opens them up and releases your hips at the same time. Do it daily and your body will thank you.

🏠 CHEST DAY – At-Home Execution Breakdown Chest doesn’t grow from reps. It grows from controlled tension. Today’s focus: activating both the clavicular head (upper chest) and sternal head (mid/lower chest) of the pec major while stabilizing through the anterior deltoids and triceps. 🔹 1. Dumbbell Flat Press 4–5 sets (bulk) / 3–4 sets (tone) 10–12 reps • Feet planted. • Shoulder blades retracted (pinch them into the bench). • Lower dumbbells 2–3 seconds until elbows hit ~90°. • Press up and slightly inward to increase pec engagement. • Do NOT lock elbows hard at the top — keep tension on chest. 👉 Cue: “Drive your biceps toward each other.” ⸻ 🔹 2. Incline Dumbbell Press Targets upper chest. • Bench at 30–45° (not too steep). • Keep chest lifted, ribs down. • Lower with control. • Press up on a slight arc — not straight vertical. 👉 If you feel it mostly in shoulders, lower the incline. ⸻ 🔹 3. Cable Chest Fly Isolation movement. • Set cables at mid-chest height. • Soft bend in elbows (don’t turn it into a press). • Stretch fully — let pec fibers lengthen. • Bring handles together and squeeze 1–2 seconds at midline. 👉 Think “hug a tree” not “push forward.” ⸻ 🔹 4. Chest Press Machine Controlled overload. • Keep lower back slightly arched. • Chest up. • Slow eccentric (3 sec down). • Drive through palms, not shoulders. 👉 Stop 1–2 reps before form breaks if bulking. 👉 Go to near failure if toning. ⸻ 🔹 5. Push-Up Finisher Burnout set. • Hands slightly wider than shoulders. • Lower chest to floor with control. • Core tight, glutes engaged. • Push until 1–2 reps shy of failure. ⸻ 📊 Programming Guide 🔸 Toning → 3–4 sets, 10–12 reps, last set near failure 🔸 Bulking → 4–5 sets, progressive overload weekly 🔸 Rest: 60–90 sec 🔸 Tempo: Control the negative. Explode the positive. Muscle responds to tension, not ego. If you train at home, there’s no excuse. Save this for your next chest day. If you want your at-home setup programmed specifically for YOUR physique goals, tap in.

This exercise should be mandatory for people who sit at desks. It's called the Band dislocate. When you sit at a desk for long periods of time your shoulders start rounding forward and your chest caves in. Band dislocates help mobilize your rotator cuffs while stretching out your chest muscles. How to do them: You can use a band, a towel or a broom handle. Resistance band is best. Hold the band in front of your waist. Rotate your arms up & over your head down to your low back. Reverse the process. That is one rep. Do this for 6 to 12 reps. Do this a few times a week and your shoulders and chest will thank you.

Great routine for people who sit at desks. 5 minutes to feel stronger & pain free. Cat Cows increases the flexibility of the neck, shoulders and spine while stretching the muscles of the hips, back, abdomen and chest. Bird Dogs promote proper posture, improves stability, relieves low back pain and encourages a neutral spine while strengthening your core, hips and back. The McGill Crunch activates your core while keeping your lower back in a natural arched position. This minimizes stress on the spine while increasing endurance in your ab muscles and can relieve low back pain. Side planks work the obliques, which are one of the most underrated muscles in your body. They also strengthening your glutes, hips, and shoulders. Glute bridge holds work your glutes, hamstrings and lower back without putting pressure on your spine. When doing the core exercises make sure to BRACE your stomach as if Mike Tyson were to punch you in the stomach. This activates your core. When doing the full body or glute exercises make sure to squeeze your glutes as if you're trying to crush a quarter in your butthole. Do 6 reps of each exercise with slow and controlled movements while mentally activating your muscles. Try it out between desk sessions & let me know how it went.

Great stretch for people who sit at desks. It’s called a Cossack Squat. This works your adductor muscles, which are one of the largest muscles in your legs, but due to long periods of sitting, they can become tight and inflexible. The Cossack Squat restores and improves your lower body's range of motion while developing mobility in your hips, knees, hamstrings, and ankles. It also helps you build resilient joints and soft tissues, squat deeper, and stay protected while running and jumping. Here's how to do them: 1. Start in a wide stance using support if needed. 2. Shift your weight to the right leg & sit back as far as you can. 3. Keep the left leg extended as you rotate your toes up. 4. Keep your right heel on the floor and torso upright. 5. Pause, then push back to the wide-legged starting position. 6. Do the same on the next side. Do this for 6-12 reps each side. Your hips and groin will thank you 🙏🏼

Perform three rounds of a 1-to-4 rep ladder on the following three exercises: kettlebell swing kettlebell goblet squat kettlebell goblet lunges (per leg) The sequence looks like: 1 rep of kettlebell swing + 1 rep of goblet squat + 1 rep of lunge per leg, then 2 reps of kettlebell swings + 2 reps of kettlebell goblet squats + 2 reps of lunges per leg, then 3 reps of kettlebell swings + 3 reps of goblet squats + 3 reps of lunges per leg, then 4 reps of kettlebell swings + 4 reps of kettlebell goblet squats + 4 reps of kettlebell lunges per leg. Once you get to 4, rest for 90 seconds before repeating for two more rounds. As you progress, work your way up to performing a 1-to-10 rep ladder with these exercises. Let us know how your legs feel! #Workout #WorkoutWednesday #MPC2023 #MPC #MyPeakChallenge #SamHeughan

Self Toss short-hop feeds drill. 1 hop and 2 hop variations. Ball hit at you, declared backhands and glove side picks. A player can get a lot of reps in a very small space. Keys: in order to be on time to the short hop, the toss can’t be too far out front, too low or too fast. You have to start low, play low and move low (with precision feet). Why? Everything happens really fast, especially 1 hop rep variation. If you are late, you get an in-between hop. Really late and/or very lazy feet … you get a big hop. We are not working fielding either of those hops in this drill. Be on time to the short hop. Another key: On ball tossed directly in front (grounder at you) it prevents exaggerated “rounding off” the ball. Not enough time before ball hits the earth and you have to be there on time to the 1” hop. This creates a much more realistic game like rep and approach to the ball. We use a line in video to show how the alignment works. Notice how he is set up with left ear near the line. He is “preset” as far off center as he would need to get on a game rep. Left ear or left shoulder is as far off center as you ever need to get to read speed and hops at ball hit right at you. (Left handed throwers are opposite ear). If you do this drill with baseballs and a target on a net, you can finish the play with a throw and follow. Really creative and you can do this same self feed drill or your own variation to work on your double play “feeds” or slow rollers. Another variation is throwing a ball off a wall. But walls are not always available. Especially when using a baseball. We are using a tennis ball in this video. Dirt Bro Baseball

Behind the ball is how you get depth AND length out front. (Not one or the other) Here’s what it actually gives you: 1. You swing more connected and deeper. 2. The barrel enters earlier and stays in longer. You get both. 3. Depth behind what buys you length out front. Most guys are picking one or the other. 4. You sling the barrel through. You’re not shoving it or yanking it into the zone. 5. You actually use the ground. Behind the ball you turn. If you’re not using the ground, you’re probably sliding and pulling everything towards the ball. 6. Your bat speed becomes usable. Pushed and pulled bat speed still reads fast vs one pitch one speed. Only one of them shows up on the barrel, in the zone, on time vs pitching. — Cue for your next round: let the ball get deeper than usual, and turn behind a wall. You can scoot close to a net in front of you to get the feeling, too. Then vs moving ball. > Save this for when you need it > Send this to a hitter who needs it right now (And make sure you’re following)

This home lunge superset isn't for the faint of heart. The burning heat in your legs will beg you to stop, but the strength and growth you'll reap make it all worth it. 4 sets of 12 forward lunges, then 12 Reverse right away. Build a lower body that stands the test of time: Lunge Form Cues Set-Up: Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips or at your sides. Alignment: Keep your chest up and shoulders back. Step: Take a big step forward, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees. Brace: Engage your core and maintain balance as your front foot lands to stabilize the movement. Push: Drive through your front heel to return to the starting position. Breathing: Inhale as you lower into the lunge, exhale as you push back up. 5 Lunge mistakes and how to avoid them 1. Taking Too Small a Step - What Happens: A short step limits the range of motion, reducing muscle activation in the glutes and quads. - Fix: Step far enough forward to allow both knees to bend at 90 degrees. 2. Rising Onto the Front Toes - What Happens: Lifting the heel shifts balance and reduces engagement of the glutes and hamstrings. - Fix: Keep your front foot flat, pressing firmly through the heel. 3. Poor Hip Alignment - What Happens: Tilting or rotating the hips reduces balance and proper muscle engagement. - Fix: Keep your hips square and aligned with your torso throughout the movement. 4. Feet Too Narrow or Wide - What Happens: Misaligned foot placement reduces stability and increases the chance of losing balance. - Fix: Keep your feet hip-width apart to maintain balance and proper alignment during the lunge. 5. Not Engaging the Core - What Happens: A weak core reduces balance and stability, increasing the risk of wobbling. - Fix: Brace your core upon landing to absorb the impact and keep your torso steady and aligned. Reverse Lunge Form Cues Set-Up: Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips or at your sides. Alignment: Keep your chest lifted, core engaged, and shoulders back. Step: Step one leg back, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees. Land: Land on the top of your back foot with the toes pointed to stretch the ankle and prevent assistance from the toes. Push: Drive through your front heel to return to the starting position. Breathing: Inhale as you lower into the lunge, exhale as you push back up. 5 Reverse Lunge Mistakes and how to avoid them: 1. Using the Toes for Support on the Back Foot - What Happens: Relying on the back toes reduces the stretch in the ankle and shifts focus away from the front leg. - Fix: Land on the top of your back foot with the toes pointed to stretch the ankle and isolate the front leg fully. 2. Leaning Forward - What Happens: Leaning forward places unnecessary strain on the lower back and reduces engagement of the glutes and quads. -Fix: Keep your chest up and shoulders back to maintain an upright posture.Letting the Front Knee 3. Collapse Inward - What Happens: Knee valgus increases stress on the knee joint and reduces stability. - Fix: Ensure the front knee tracks over the middle of your foot throughout the movement. 4. Letting the Front Knee Collapse Inward - What Happens: Knee valgus increases stress on the knee joint and reduces stability. - Fix: Ensure the front knee tracks over the middle of your foot throughout the movement. 5. Pushing Off the Back Foot - What Happens: Using the back foot to assist reduces the workload on the front leg. - Fix: Focus on driving through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.

People today walk around with the stiffest hips, and the implications are disastrous. You set yourself up for chronic pain and bad posture for the rest of your life. Take control now before it's too late. These 10 stretches will free your hips from their misery: The best time to do these stretches is before bed, as you unload all the tension accumulated throughout the day and achieve a deeper sleep. 1 - Half Frog Stretch (0:06) 3 x 30-60s/side This one is excellent for your inner thighs and hip flexors. You also stretch your abdominals. 2 - Seated Crossed Leg Reach Forward Stretch (0:14) 3 x 30-60s This stretch also hits the lats that sit right above your hips. Some of you may be unable to reach forward with your legs crossed. The first milestone is to touch the floor with your hands and then slide them forward. 3 - Seated Pigeon Stretch (0:23) 3 x 30-60s/leg Today, one of my clients felt a massive pull just by crossing his leg and pushing down. Forget leaning forward! The goal is to bring your chest down to your leg while keeping your back straight. Push your hips back toward the wall behind you to lower your torso. 4 - Seated Glute Strech (0:32) 3 x 30-60s/leg The difference between this stretch and the Seated Pigeon is that you curl your upper back to lower your head to your leg. 5 - Lying Glute Stretch (0:43) 3 x 30-60s/leg Lying on your back with one leg crossed. Pull the other leg toward your chest and hold. 6 - Pigeon Stretch (0:52) 3 x 30-60s/leg This stretch never fails to open my clients' hips, though many will feel enough of a pull by simply crossing one leg. The goal is to reach forward and lower your torso parallel to the floor. 7 - Glute Bridge with External Rotation (1:00) 3 x 10-12/leg This one is great because you strengthen one leg and stretch the other. Due to a lack of strength or mobility, you might have to rotate with a bent leg before moving onto a straightened one. 8 - Frog Stretch (1:05) 3 x 30-60s The frog stretch is amazing for your inner thigh muscles. Start kneeling with your elbows on the floor and your feet pointing outward. Slide backward and hold. 9 - Crossed-Leg Glute Bridge (1:14) 3 x 30-60s/leg Here is another Glute Bridge variation where you strengthen one leg and stretch the other. You feel the hip opening up at the top, so hold it there and rotate your knee away from your body to increase the pull. 10 - V Stretch (1:23) 3 x 30-60s You can do this stretch with your legs up in the air or against a wall. // Start taking care of your hips now before they turn into stone. Reversing the stiffness becomes much more painful and takes much longer if you let it fester over the years. You'll feel much more relaxed and move smoother once you eliminate all the excess pressure.

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.

In from Ohio last week was Chloe Taynor - just an 8th grader but already has a national reputation as a 2-way talent for Indiana Magic Gold 2030 Rogers/Fritsche Chloe added velocity while dropping relative stress on her elbow. We are thrilled to have her as one of our PVS athletes helping keep her healthy and strong with our App as she enters high school next year!!!! Great stuff Chloe !! Her before and after in the 🎥 below illustrates the important topic of arm lay back. Timing and “Layback" in throwing refers to a key biomechanical position in overhand throwing mechanics. The term describes the moment when the throwing arm reaches “maximum external rotation” just before acceleration and release. This is a major problem in Softball, because the sequencing of the act of throwing is often incorrect Ideally, we want The elbow up/near shoulder height. You will see the The forearm and hand "lay back" behind the body (the ball points somewhat backward or away from the target). At this point the shoulder is in extreme external rotation (the upper arm rotates outward), creating a stretched, loaded position in the shoulder and arm muscles/tendons. Layback acts like stretching a rubber band or "cocking" the arm — it stores elastic energy. When the body rotates forward (hips and torso leading), the arm rapidly internally rotates and whips through, generating much higher velocity and power. Better layback often leads to harder, more efficient throws with less arm strain (when mechanics are sound). This is something we test every girl for at the beginning of our sessions and at the end. Layback Matters in Softball Throwing Because it ▪️Increases throwing velocity. Elite throwers show significant layback to maximize the "whip" effect. ▪️Improves efficiency. When proper body sequencing is present hips → torso → shoulder → the arm produces layback naturally without forcing the arm alone. ▪️Reduces injury risk. Good / well timed layback comes from whole-body drive rather than arm-only effort.

This exercise should be mandatory for people who sit at desks. It's called the Band Pull Apart. When you sit for long periods the back muscles tend to round and weaken. One of the best exercises you can do to strengthen your upper back is the Band Pull Apart. It develops the muscles in the mid to upper back. Over time this can improve posture and create a more stable body. How to do The Band Pull Apart: 1. With an underhand or overhand grip, hold a band at shoulder height and slightly wider than shoulder width apart. 2. Stand with a tall posture while maintaining a neutral head and neck position. 3, Rotate your shoulders outward to engage your lats and upper back. 5. Squeeze your upper back and posterior deltoids and begin to pull the band apart. Your shoulder blades should begin to retract as your arms begin to move backward. 6. When your upper arms are in line with your back, squeeze your upper back muscles and posterior deltoids. Pause at the bottom of the movement. 7. Allow your shoulder blades to protract and your arms to return to the starting position. Use a light band. Aim to do 15 to 20 reps for 1-3 sets. Do this 3x a week. Your back and shoulders will thank you. If you like posts like these follow me Dan Go for more!

This stretch changed my life: It's called the Couch Stretch and it should be mandatory for people who sit at desks. Here's how you do it: 1. Get on all fours and put one foot up on a couch or chair and another 90 degrees in front to support. 2. Bring one arm up and lean back until you feel tension. 3. Hold this stretch and breathe deeply. When you sit for long periods, your legs are stuck at bent angles for up to 8 hours a day. This causes your hip flexors to shorten by limiting their range of motion. This can create pain in the low back and hips while causing you to become weaker. The couch stretch counteracts this by mobilizing your hip flexors back to their natural range of motion. Do this every day for 30-60 seconds and watch your body feel better.
