I know that I am going to ruffle some feathers here and probably offend some of you, but I make no apologies for it.

I was reading a baseball strength & conditioning discussion forum the other day and it was downright upsetting how many people are dead wrong about strength & conditioning for power hitters. I would have posted my opinion on the topic, but I am no longer a welcome contributor… they banned me a few years ago when I made the absurd suggestion that pitchers should stop running long distance and start lifting heavy weights!

Anyway, the initial question was something along the lines of, “What muscle groups should I be training in order to hit for more power?”

Searching through over 3 pages or answers to the question showed me that about 85% of the replies were the same… Forearms. In fact, one reply was “Forearms, Forearms, & More Forearms! Do them every morning and ever night!”

Real Hand Strength For Baseball

BASEBALL STRENGTH: http://tinyurl.com/BaseballStrong FREE ARTICLE: http://synergy-athletics.com/effective-strength-training/real-hand-strength-workout/

Grip, forearm, and hand strength are essential for baseball. Jedd Johnson of the Diesel Crew, and author of Ultimate Forearm Training For Baseball, shows us a few cool baseball hand exercises that can be done in any commercial or home gym with just a weight plate.

The first exercise, a plate hula, is great for supportive grip strength for baseball. This can help stabilize the wrist while throwing, or snapping, a pitch.

Plate curls will do the same while incoporating more forearm muscles.

Use these exercises to throw harder and excell at throwing and baseball.
