Real Workouts: Justin Verlander

[@Ksp0626]

This guy is a true superstar always admired his work ethic.

[@NinJility]

I love this trainer,not only is he hands on but he gets his ass to the grass also...RESPECT!

[@nessa-marks]

I just spent half an hour watching Justin Verlander work-out, and I regret nothing.

[@MattsBaseballWorld]

Crazy good workout even 7 yrs later.

[@STACK]

Coming soon!

[@teejay3698]

he is the man

[@TheOfficeFan21]

I could watch him do this all day...

[@ChiefSupreme6803]

21:36 sir, what are you doing? This is not a safe or effective way to spot squats. You gotta basically hug them from behind and squat down with them then apply pressure upwards from under their arm armpits. He didn't need help anyway though.

[@MattyJayThomas]

You learn that from all the farcry speedrun training you did in your gaming chair bro?

[@iluvpeeta27]

nice work Justin. Best pitcher in the world

[@Kharmatos13]

Verlanders workout. Wake up. Pound Kate Upton. Workout over.

[@Michael-tk3vc]

Kharmatos13 - His workout is only 30 seconds then !!!!!! 😱

[@bradprsr15]

Awesome video guys... How often does he do this routine? How does he incorporate throwing on lifting days (does he throw on lifting days)? I heard someone in the video mention doing the band work (six pack) after throwing (mixed with lots of stretching)?

[@1DarkxIce3]

good to see they do the under 15 seconds of explosive workout. never in baseball will you need longer than 15 seconds of muscle explosion. unless you hit an insider the parker(; which happens about twice a year

[@tariktyler]

Reverse Hyper w/physio ball. Thanks! I needed a new way to hit ham/glute tie-in

[@Frozia_3]

that's because like they said extremely powerful torque and lower body/core is what throws the ball harder, if you loose flexability by working your upper body it screws over your pitching career

[@PitchingAcademy]

Complete stud!

[@ChiefSupreme6803]

27:10 a leg curl is definitely not multi joint. A curl is literally a one joint isolation movement where your knee bends. Okay, it's multi joint because both knees are moving lol

[@bigtimeslugger]

Great work ethic

[@henrybonette5379]

A guy this tall should probably do low bar squats instead of a high bar squat. For someone with such long legs (assuming he does because he's 6'5), it's harder to hit depth on a high bar squat without bending you back over so much.

[@jepoblete]

Henry Bonette actually he doesn’t all he needs to do is work on hip mobility and he can get down lower and probably his ankle mobility is super tight,

[@jepoblete]

Henry Bonette his trainer shouldn’t load him up with so much weight too cuz his feet pronate a lot definitely needs to work on mobility for the hips and ankles

[@macgyver1075]

Awesome Stuff!

[@ChiefSupreme6803]

Would love to see him try to put Trevor Bauer through a workout like this.

[@kgreen175]

nice quarter squats

[@matthewsmith9247]

what season/time of year is Verlander doing this workout and how many times a week e do this?

[@dgagnon313]

No wonder this guy never gets hurt

[@whosjoe5498]

Nice

[@piconjo61]

it would be cool to see a Mark Teixeira workout :)

[@Bjennings3MVP]

same

[@dalanieshaffer1906]

Jv i love u so much

[@brandonprust3171]

Lmfao Phil Coke screwing up at 1:40 haha

[@lowacid2108]

Who else is bored while quarantined

[@Frozia_3]

when you go down with weight it makes your legs and hips work harder

[@KingJamesKingChaos]

I respect Verlander but I don't LIKE him...because I'm a Yankees fan and he KILLS us every start.

[@itsmyheko]

i guess they like mobb deep 25:10

[@jayden8636]

Stab your with wicho nose bone.

[@TragicNova]

I'm disappointed that he can't do back squats properly.

[@mattf7594]

when your 6'5 or something like that it get difficult

[@joshlynch5676]

Other than depth, his back squat looks fine to me.

[@megaminecraftmc]

Matt F im 6'6 and do them with ease

[@baseballbro9115]

baseball players dont want to go down really low because that can cause knee problems for us so we go down far enough for the workout to actually work

[@totodilezGB]

BaseballBRO9 You know that's completely untrue, right? And don't speak for all baseball players, the majority of players on my college team do full squats with no knee issues whatsoever. Don't spew nonsense to backup a lack of work ethic.

[@bradenhelms1448]

Yo

[@outdoorsman715]

why doesn't he go to parrallel on his squats?

[@outdoorsman715]

don't understand the going down in weight on the squat.

[@ryancummings98]

why can't baseball players squat to depth? I've seen verlander, capps, teixiera, and pence "squat" and none of them come close

[@captainandroid4077]

Poor mobility is probably the cause. Crazy amounts of baseball players don't have great hip mobility and aren't able to get to normal deep squat depths without compensating or hurting themselves.

[@ChiefSupreme6803]

It's probably because they've been told that squatting deep is bad for your knees. But it's not.

[@arielperel5718]

Hi

[@workingclown]

This field is literally in my back yard

[@blucher34]

A Clayton Kershaw workout would be awesome

[@samv1010]

Does anyone know the song at 22.00 ? Thank you

[@MrAlexicon]

don't forget that taco bell post workout verlander style.

[@BeatsByOjeda]

I wanna see barry bonds workout in 2002

[@ModernMuscleHead]

How heavy is the med ball he's throwing up?

[@thomasmartinez7930]

Lance 125 pounds

[@PrestigeWorldwid3]

With arms wide open

[@野球太郎-b9d]

日本語訳欲しい(切実)

[@PaulGilbertrulezzz]

Verlander's arms look so weak but he can still throw hard lol.

[@teejay3698]

yeah obviously dude core is lower body and obviously

[@jinglelingle26]

I like this video but I really like the music they got playing in the weight room. I'm guessing whoever is in control of the radio in there has got to be in their 30's.

[@boomraw8762]

he doesn't squat too deep

[@teejay3698]

no he worked out really hard even withh steroids

[@teejay3698]

This is some physical therapy shit, no bench, Olympic lifts, deadlifts nothing. I'm just saying to all those young kids watching, this is not how you get the strength to throw hard, this is only good if you have the genetics to naturally throw hard.

[@micahberens5804]

TheRealest Pitchers are not supposed to lift a lot. Pitchers need to be flexible and lean. Not big and bulky.

[@kyussaha837]

TJ RhO35s fake news

[@aspalt228gold]

Micah Berens u can’t throw hard if you don’t have the genetics. U have to lift heavy and do Olympic lift to get the gains in the lower half

[@jepoblete]

TJ RhO35s you have no idea what you are talking about, there are different phases of offseason training, if you knew what you were talking about there’s a system of how coaches train their athletes. All the heavy lifting and power lifts come at the end of the process. You obviously don’t know how to train. He’s working on explosiveness , agility and movement, but I’m sure you don’t know what that is

[@gsup3435]

This guy wasn’t a genetic freak. He topped out at 85 his senior year of high school

[@CraftsmanBJJ]

MLB's best pitcher? I didn't see Clayton Kershaw in this video.

[@viveknamikaze761]

Because he's not

[@99Silverado53]

Halfs squats but damn prob hit 105mph if he went atg

[@cyclingsportspro]

would love to see a brandon jennings real workout ;)

[@Tranarch0possum]

His workout included a needle and thats about all he needed

[@ExCarKun]

225 mark Justin Verlander was not doing the hop in hop out correctly

[@birdman4birdlegs]

Squat depth was weak. I'm kind of dissapointed a trainer would let that slide. Then again maybe there's a purpose

[@Mitchp93]

nice signed bootleg jersey

[@LangFitness]

His trainer looks so tired. Out of shape prob.

[@frogpunch5645]

Half squats. Nice. Get that paycheck homie

[@Lukie2131]

JV destroyed the Oakland As in the Playoffs this year he is the most clutch Pitcher in Baseball if i needed to win 1 game i would take JV over anyone in Baseball. Go Tigers.

[@teejay3698]

pitchers should not work the upper body

[@dongwookim5491]

Weird squat

[@donnaparsons1121]

Never seen such bad form from a “professional”. Both of them. Instead of preventing future injuries they are on the road to creating them. Guaranteed.

[@12mike23]

Donna Parsons this is from 6 years ago and he’s not only not been hurt but dominate in his mid 30’s I’m guessing you have no idea what your talking about.

[@viveknamikaze761]

Dude, this is the best pitcher of his generation. Pretty sure he knows what he's doing more than you

[@BackyardSportsCrew]

I expected a lot more out of a pro athlete

[@Michael-tk3vc]

cody cantrell - pitchers aren’t athletes

[@aaronrodriguez1410]

@@Michael-tk3vc look up Michael lorenzen. Pitchers are athletes. Some more athletic than others

Kobe Lebron - yeah I agree lol it was sorta a joke lol

[@freethagoy]

idk wht this is but tht isnt a workout???????????

[@TheJimmbabwe]

then what is a workout?

[@simplyg100]

just play some flag football, do some squats and o-lifts, then call it a day.

[@Frozia_3]

he cant work his upper body that much

[@陳柏安-q5k]

LOL at this worthless workout. Stop clowning one of the best pitchers in baseball

[@mattliamlawson]

look he plays baseball why does he need to work out?

[@ccain96]

Verlander must have stopped the workouts in 2013 cause he's pitching like ass... that or the 20 plus million dollar contract is slowing his arm down
