Exercise Explained: Off-Season Strength
Understanding how to exercise. A series by Jayson Hunter of SportSpecific.com
(see sub-menu left)

Remember to warm-up first.

Perform each exercise in a straight set style where you complete all 4 sets before moving to next exercise. Rest about 1.5 min between each set.

WARNING: Not all these are baseball specific. Reduce to 55-65% of 1RM (one rep maximum) or less and make sure your work on full range of motion and building to explosive effort. Note: off-season only.
