Ultimate Baseball Training I need help. I want to make my highschool baseball team. I have the mamba mentality. And I am willing to put in the most work possible. But the problem is that. I live in Georgia. There is nothing wrong with Georgia. Is just the weather has been pretty bad lately. so I can’t go outside to work on my game. What should I do. Thank you.

[@aids2056]

I’m 15 just started lifting but the day after I lift when I go hit off the tee I feel sore and I feel like crap when I’m doing my tee routine

[@aidenc.9124]

You're muscles aren't used to working out probably. I started lifting weights again after about a month of break and after that I was sore. Now that I'm working out several times during the week I don't feel that much soreness anymore.

[@dylanbachand5029]

can you make a video that is specifically about compound exercises?

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Yes 👊🏼 I got you!

[@airmvp23]

Definitely a Full Workout would be great! Including Bands. Thanks

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Awesome Mark! I'll try to make that happen soon!

[@almoody3]

Love your content, Justin. I took a special interest in this video because in addition to coaching baseball I have been a strength & conditioning coach for 19 years, primarily working with baseball players. Good direction on program design, although I take a different approach when it comes to explosive training. This kind of training is critical for a baseball player who is performing the fastest movements in sports at the hips, elbow & shoulder. Cleans are certainly good power training options for football & basketball players, but I stay away from them with my baseball players for several reasons. Cleans, by nature, train linear power but when considering the 2 most fundamental movements in baseball (throwing & hitting) you'll see lateral & rotational power, so there isn't as much application of power from cleans to baseball when compared to other power training options. Also, cleans & other Olympic lifts are extremely technical & require exhaustive teaching to insure athletes perform them safely & effectively. Most important, though, I don't like the stress that cleans place on the elbows, wrists & shoulders...which are so critical for baseball players. In other words, I know there are many ways to skin a cat so I defer to training that can meet objectives while decreasing the probability of injuries. Instead of using cleans for power training I progress my baseball players through a series of overhead & rotational med ball exercises while also incorporating many variations & differing loads of jumps, leaps, hops & sprints. Wanted to share my experience in case it could be helpful. Keep up the great work on the videos, Justin!

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thanks so much, Amanda! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video and I really appreciate the great feedback. Med ball exercises are some of my favorite and I love to incorporate them in as many workouts as possible. I think they are one of the most practical exercises for baseball players that actually translates to more on-field success. I also love adding in plyometrics, jumps, leaps, hops, sprints, etc. as well. Thanks for watching!

[@randyrichard6300]

What about medicine ball slams, sledgehammer on a tire, tire flips, and jump rope ?? Love the channel, keep the videos coming..

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Those are all great to add, Randy!

[@brianthiessen7435]

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Awesome Lena! I'll try to make that happen soon!

[@702Blunt]

[@maxclubine-ito4493]

Nice video coach justin keep it up

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thanks Max!

[@babyyoda4618]

How do I practice my bat strength

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

What do you mean by bat strength?

[@mattyfreshny3299]

Ultimate Baseball Training how do you workout the muscles for batting

[@Rangerfan-gz1rx]

MattyFreshNY you strengthen your entire body, get stronger at squats, deadlifts, bench press variations, overhead press, rows, pull-ups. The big 6 movement patterns that build the entire body.

[@getbetterwithme6083]

Is swimming good? Because I’m on the swim team for highschool and we swim 2 hours a day and we work on muscular endurance.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

I like swimming! It's great because it's low impact on your joints

[@jonathonmiller5000]

Love this video. How about a video about explosive and rotational weight exercises

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Glad to hear that! I'll try to make that happen man!

[@ephrimko5239]

I cant do much but I basically throw a bunch everyday including in the winter, and I do a bunch of pushups and situps so basically I just do arm muscles and abs Also I have hand strengtheners because my hands are really weak. I'm not built for baseball, but I try anyways

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

It sounds like you're doing the best with what you have! Keep grinding!

[@damiantillie4545]

E K for core I recommend you work through different plank progressions to gradually make it harder as this will improve your core stability, focus on becoming more explosive so make sure your including plyometrics including plyo pushups.Sprints are also great

[@Rangerfan-gz1rx]

You need to train legs, if you don’t have weights then do jump squats, lunges, sprints, really high rep calf raises to help with injury orevention

[@denniperez8028]

Can somebody explain how to breathe correctly when lifting and doing abs please?

[@mpetzolt]

Interested in a weekly workout plan for youth players (10U).

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Sounds good! I'll try to make that happen!

[@THEDReamER347]

Hi Sir.. iam frm India. To pass a physical test for getting a job one of the item is to throw a cricket ball at a length of 61m. I have done some workouts with resistance band for a period of last 3months. Still cant throw above 50m. What should I do. Can you give some helpful workouts and tips. I hope you can help me. Pls

[@SFBayAreaSportsTalk]

Hey love your channel! I’m a 23 year old left handed hitting outfielder trying to get back into playing baseball again, I’d like a full workout with sets and reps so I know what to do at the gym lol

[@chocolatosokev2698]

I am very interested in this video. You already help me a lot justin. Some graphic examples as the squats will definitely be better

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@justinedwards3722]

How often can the med ball exercises be done? Is every day of the week too often? I remember hearing that plyometrics are kind of tough on the joints.

[@MrJJA714]

Great video, can you please do more baseball specific exercise examples? (Shoulders, legs , etc)

[@angieydanielito]

As a ten year old, can I lift ten pounds for half an hour? I would spend 1 and half to two hours in the basketball gym

[@van5829]

You should just stretch do jumping jacks and run or jog to warm up. Then go out and play baseball. Maybe pushups and body weight squats. 10 year olds should NOT lift weights. You should wait until your 16 or 17 years old. You can get very very strong just by doing body weights.

[@dvbs3608]

Van erm high school and 8th graders should start lifting weights ASAP

[@Rangerfan-gz1rx]

Van 16 is a little late, I’d say 13

[@Rangerfan-gz1rx]

Just get good at body weight exercises, pull-ups, pushups, dips, sit ups/crunches, jump squats and sprints.

[@angieydanielito]

Ok, thanks!

[@diegobadilla5951]

You need a strong throwing arm to avoid injuries

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

💪💪💪

[@marjorienielsen1890]

Full workout from start to finish would be great.

[@mikeGunzo55]

Show videos you can do at the gym.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Sounds good, Mike!

[@luisavila9385]

Great vid Justin. Really helpful man. Keep up ur great work man. Really enjoy every video man and there helpful concepts

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thanks man! What would you like to see next?

[@luisavila9385]

Anything willing to help my baseball career man

[@luisavila9385]

I can trust u to find the right thing that can help

[@jjohnson2589]

Are you still responding to comments?

[@adamlevine8765]

The biggest difference between body builders working out, and athletes like baseball players working out,, is that body builders lift just to get huge. Baseball Players lift to strengthen certain muscles that allow than to preform better.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

That's a great way to put it! Athletes are all about improving performance

[@BWyatt76]

Yeah a lot of those guys that body build, their cardio is bad.

[@aaronrodriguez1410]

You should want to gain weight. The best lifts for a baseball player are deadlifts, reverse lunges, and weighted chin ups

[@UnderdawgMLB]

Hey Coach Justin. Your videos are great! Can you make a video on cross training?

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thanks man! What specifically when it comes to cross training?

[@UnderdawgMLB]

How it benefits you and what sports are best for it

[@mountiescorner]

Reverse the movements.. baseball is pattern overload (twisting one way to throw and hit) focus on uncoiling your back and rotator cuffs.. Deadlifts and rows and pulling exercises are a must Primal pattern movement circuits full body or upper/ lower. Front squats .lunges.. a push a pull a twist and bend Explosive lifts and uni lateral movements help because we’re doing a lot one leg at a time, etc

[@HigherDarkness]

Another helpful video thank. Also, i was wondering if you can make a video of you hitting in real games.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thank you so much! I might have a little bit of old footage I can find

[@tannerhurn3386]

I'm very interested in this please make a new video about how many reps and things like that.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Awesome! I'll try to make that happen soon!

[@emilianoavalos6190]

Can you make some videos showing examples for work outs?

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Yes I can! 💪

[@kyleseageruberalles2222]

I usually do squats and wall sits and weightlifting. Maybe the lack of creativeness is why I am average.

[@1upSup3r]

Did you come out with a workout training video specifically for baseball

[@dustin6746]

hey man can you answer if you think leg workouts and tricep and bicep workouts help out?

[@charleshsieh8799]

Great video!

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thanks Charles!

[@BWyatt76]

Good video Justin 👍. I'm 42 and still play a high level of Fast Pitch Softball. I do both isolated and multiple muscle exercises. One thing that helps me keep up with the guys in their mid-20's, is spinning workouts and stairmaster. Like you said, it's a multiple muscle workout. It helps with my cardio too.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thank you so much! It's awesome to hear that you're still playing and running circles around those mid-20 year olds!

[@brendaalfaro7197]

Interested in specific workouts for my son who is 12 , a bit overweight, needs a regular workout and would like to pursue baseball

[@ll-itzchief-ll3532]

Good video coach, I’m starting to watch your videos a lot more because I’m trying to get better this offseason. By the way is that Pikes Peak back there in the start of your video?

[@TeresaRodriguez-wb2dg]

Please keep on making videos like this please

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Sounds good, I will!

[@davidnazario7930]

I need to know what should I be doing bc I don’t think I’m doing the right stuff

[@karamazovkid71]

Weight lifting in any and all forms destroys baseball players.

💪🏿

Hey Justin first off can you give me some more compound exercises and how do I gain lots of muscle but don't get bulky because I really don't want to look like a bodybuilder I know you talked about isolating but are there other things to gain muscle and not get bulky?

[@zekestrand5518]

Yes please do workout programs

[@nathanburden765]

[@MSN539]

[@cpsclan2447]

You’re a 🤡

[@abismaellatorre5579]

Love the video and then info, I think you should do a full workout video of what you just talked about... I tell my son everything you say but doesn't sink in but I'll send him one of your videos and its like validation for him... If you would do a specific workout routine video I and I know he would really benefit from it... Keep doing these video's there awesome...

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

So glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I'll try to make a full routine like you mentioned asap

[@willmirwaldt28]

Could you do some catcher specific exercises

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Yes! Have you seen our current catcher videos on the channel?

[@willmirwaldt28]

Ultimate Baseball Training I love your other catching videos they are great. I would like some more conditioning exercises for the unique requirements of the position, and more drills i can do on my own. Thanks.

[@ppvagina69]

Coach Justin thank you

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

You're welcome!

[@ppvagina69]

U made me such a better catcher......... at least I think
