click HQ for a little better quality…
here is a little training mixtape of the minor league pro baseball players i trained this off-season… we didn’t take tons of footage, but this is a glimpse of what they did…
stuff left out;
- depth jumps
- rfi drills
- conditioning sprints/shuttle runs
- more unilateral leg work ; bss, walking lunges
- more p-chain work ; glute bridges, ghr’s
- lots more grip work
- lots more core work
anyway, a few results, everyone gained speed, not listing though, because sparq lasers kind of unreliable…
basically training lasted from mid november to early february, or december to late february:
Nick Arata
- gained 5 lb.
- broad jump from 103" to 112"
- vert - couldnt hit vertec on 10’, ended with 122.5" touch
- came in testing 3.8x in the 30, hit a few high 3.6x, but consistently 3.7x
- has some of the best feet ive ever seen, DOESNT QUIT ON CORE
