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.
