Exercise Explained: Off-Season Power
Understanding how to exercise. A series by Jayson Hunter of SportSpecific.com
The power exercises below can be combined with other phases. For example... Mon: Power program, Wed: Shoulder program, Thurs: Power program, Tues and Fri: Agility program plus Supplemental exercises such as Regular Free Swings hitting whiffle golf balls (3 x 15) and regular swings w/ sprint cord around waist and mid thigh (3 x 15). (Using the sprint cord around the waist and mid-thigh provides resistance through the motion and encourages keeping the weight back - not recommended by all trainers.) Rest interval for exercises below is about 1.5 to 2 minutes. WARNING: This is for off-season only. The exercises with plyometric component are most suited to baseball.
