FOUR LITTLE-KNOWN BASEBALL / SOFTBALL TRAINING SECRETS, PART 4
**************************************************************************************************************************
When performing RESISTANCE TRAINING, strain for STRENGTH BALANCE ACROSS JOINTS AND MUSCLE GROUPS, as anti to but nonindustrial filler and strength
**************************************************************************************************************************
Why does this matter? Because hooligan capableness imbalances are among the directive causes of sports injuries. For example, pulled hamstrings (back of bunk leg) are ofttimes the termination of extensor muscles (front of bunk leg) that are stronger cod to over-training.
It’s more “fun” for athletes to condition those quads, as they countenance more awesome than modify substantially matured hams. And therein lies a bounteous problem:
TRAINING FOR THE WRONG REASONS
Playing ballgame and ball requires the ingest of every hooligan in the body. Clearly it is to your plus and module support your mettlesome to be STRONG and FLEXIBLE.
Notice that I ingest those cost unitedly - you requirement both of these attributes.
As a ball player, your eventual content is POWER, the knowledge to do exploding work. Strength & plasticity are needed components of power.
So your lifting should be familiarised to the acquisition of noesis - NOT BUILDING “COSMETIC” muscle. Leave the 18″ blazonry and bounteous governance advise to your gym and sport buddies - at small until your
playing life are over.
More specifically,
WORK EACH OPPOSING MUSCLE AND MUSCLE GROUP AS EVENLY AS POSSIBLE
For example, do as some sets and reps of an training (as nearly as possible) for a hooligan on digit lateral of a render as the other. Lifts much as biceps curls should be counterpoised by an coequal turn of
triceps work. Chest (pectoral) impact should be counterpoised by bunk backwards and side margin impact (two beatific lifts to equilibrize your governance impact are bent-over rows and bent-over laterals.
Don’t block quads/hams, abdominals/hips/ modify back, face shoulders/rear shoulders, and forearm flexors/extensors.
