BUILDING
UP THE ENGINE!
There seems
to be a gym for every occasion. But, you're only interested in baseball. Where is
the gym that trains baseball players? Where is the gym that caters to the pitcher,
the hitter? I think you'll be pleased to know such an opportunity now exits.
The Approach:
Our training philosophy is rooted in old-school physics, anatomy and physiology.
Do you know the differences and mathematical relationships between force, work,
and power? Do you have a basic understanding of the very best way to recruit (turn
on) a muscle? The safety and efficacy of our training methods are indeed cutting
edge - evidence based - and not mere "big guy" anecdote. If you have questions,
we'll show you the literature.
Creating a bigger, stronger, more powerful machine does not require numerous grueling
90 minute resistance training sessions every week. We've been there and learned
the hard way - one can effectively train for a long duration OR with a high level
of intensity, but definitely not both.
To break down and train various components of hitting and pitching has
little to do with "isolation exercises." Pitching and hitting take place while while
standing firm on solid ground, and so we train the body that way as a functional
unit. Triple extension of the ankles, knees, and hips; core strengthening for powerful
trunk rotation; and complete rotator cuff and shoulder
girdle strengthening are
particularly emphasized to achieve maximal "baseball" power.

After training harder and smarter, get
out of the gym and recover. We believe that training intensity and sufficient recovery
receive far too little attention. What athlete can afford to drone on, merely going
through the motions? Every person has finite "resources" to devote to strength training
and conditioning, technique training, team practices, and on. Is there anything
left for growth and recovery?
