FAQs
What if I don't have the necessary equipment?
If you don't have access to specific dumbbells or kettlebells, cans of food or holding 2 baseballs in your hand will be enough weight to begin your strengthening program.
When should these routines be done?
Ideally, you will rotate through the three routines on the days after you pitch, throw a bullpen, or if you are even a catcher. Once you have completed your throwing for the day, follow up with one of these strengthening programs.
How much weight should I be using?
Whether you have access to bands and or weights, make sure you start out light enough that your form is correct. These exercises are not about how much weight can be moved. Recommended would be to start around 3lbs. for both bands and weights.
