After all, you hold the ball and bat with your hands. Therefore, many baseball players who do lift concentrate on wrist curls, forearm and shoulder work.<br>This should never be the main thrust. The exercises for these areas are called specific auxiliary exercises. The true source of strength and power for a baseball player is centered in the hips and legs. Look at the photos of the two athletes shown from the waist down. One is Sammy Sosa who hit 66 home runs this year. The other is of a Discus thrower. Notice the similarity of the hip and leg position as you look at their full picture on the next page. <br>If a Discus thrower were to train only on upper body specific auxiliary and even lifts, he would fail miserably because of lack of leg and hip strength and explosive power. Maximizing a baseball player's potential does not mean doing leg extensions, leg curls and machine hip and leg exercises for the lower body. Baseball players must Parallel Squat and Power Clean to develop their maximum power. If baseball players were to really get after these two lifts and do them correctly, you'd have to do one of two things. Either move the fences back another 50 feet or get used to football-like scores.<br>Baseball players should also do quick fot drills, stretch for speed and jumping power, sprint train and plyometric train. We also do not want to overtrain in the weight room. The maximum time in the weight room should be 45 to 75 minutes three times per week in the off-season and two 30-45 minute workouts twice per week during the season.<br>GET STARTED NOW!<br><br>The best time to start is now.

The younger the better.<br>FINAL NOTE <br><br>What was the best thing about Mark McGwire's history making 70-home run season? To me, it was his relationship with his son. The towering 500-foot blasts were great but I was more impressd when he hugged his son so often after circling the bases.<to rejuvenate the careers of many lifters who had suffered slumps. For example, Tom Hirtz s lifting had stagnated for several years until he came to Schmitz. Hirtz went on to eventually set an American record in the snatch of 342 pounds at 181 pounds bodyweight. Mark Cameron, already an accomplished lifter, moved to San Francisco to train with Schmitz for five months and soon afterwards clean and jerked 501.5 pounds while competing in the 242-pound bodyweight class. <br>One quality that sets Schmitz apart is that he has been able to work especially well with super heavyweights, having coached three of the four Americans who have clean and jerked 500 pounds. In addition to coaching Patera, Wilhelm and Cameron, he also coached John Bergman (396 snatch, 496 clean and jerk) and Tom Stock (391 snatch, 490 clean and jerk).  Superheavys have to train a little differently because they have big bodies they re lifting as well as the big weights, says Schmitz.  Their recovery is different and for a lot of them there are differences in their flexibility and their speed. I ve been lucky to have the supers that I ve had, but with two Olympians in the lighter classes (Cantore and Nguygen, who both weighed less than 150 pounds) I ve proven I can coach these athletes `ٖ$[/ZsW.hMgºI+T@qf۵t$u.V#@XG ]@U(N_#ҙʬ ڸڬ|䅲5FO1R*iURӧJ ʶ$(8 kʃ R5%3HRѨOj^N6[/*+K7$9Oˀ:smRBM" dëne T2AyJTv?N8su`ɿ}1*w]u^"IѲmQdYe5=o1+.u18;2YWeکbbh֙ԤX*,7 /z&)]0Cn6P"I&KR 9$cO.%keoq):wKnH޼Y1ˎo@Oec+#7@/ƍg
