Looking to get more power into your swing? This baseball workout plan is designed solely to increase your strength and is meant to be performed in the off-season. The baseball workout is made up of mostly compound exercises that will maximize muscle and strength gains.
A significant amount of power can be generated with excellent technique in your baseball swing, but adding muscle strength to that technique will help you become every pitcher's worst nightmare.
Focusing on Baseball Strength
Avoid any extensive cardio while on this plan, because it will only take away from your gains (some might laugh since baseball is notorious for not needing any cardio).
Your only focus should be on eating lots of calories to support your torn muscles and allow your body to rebuild. Rest between workouts is going to be crucial to getting the results you're looking for!
The Workout Break-down
There is one
full-body workout that will be performed three times a week. Be sure not to workout two consecutive days in row, this is a must. Because this is designed to increase strength, the rep range will be set at eight.
This means that you will lift an amount of weight that you can get eight reps and not a SINGLE one more! Once you are able to get eight reps then it is time to increase the weight. Pushing out high reps (anything over 8) will begin to focus on mass and not strength.
Try to complete each baseball workout in under an hour, preferably 45 minutes if possible. Again, it is very important that you eat a lot of quality calories to help your body repair itself and allow your body to go full force at the next workout. Follow this plan and start smacking home runs out of park this season!
