Author Steven Ellis is a former professional pitcher in the Chicago Cubs organization. The difference between TUFFCUFF and other pitching workout programs is that this is based on actual big league conditioning programs. It's how pitchers now train for more strength and flexibility. WebBall considers this a 'must have' book for any pitcher serious about his development.
The complete, structured, conditioning program for pitchers
More than a workout routine, the "TUFFCUFF Strength and Conditioning Manual for Baseball Pitchers" is a 52-week, comprehensive training program that reveals the pitcher that has always been inside you. TUFFCUFF shows you how to develop balanced pitching fitness — strength, muscle mass, flexibility, power, and endurance — without overemphasizing or short-changing any component. Over 180 pages with training and nutrition plans, daily exercises (illustrated), plus performance checklists, and bullpen routines.
