Maximize your pitching potential by taking care our your arm with a total body approach. Pitching happens from the legs up, it requires strength, power, mobility, and flexibility. This program addresses all those qualities with exercises that can be done at a gym or at home.
All you need is a set of bands, furniture sliders, Dumbbells, Chin Up Bar, a Soft (non rubber) Medicine Ball, and a solid wall to throw it at.
