How I Work Out

[Blue]

First Off,your gona need some goods songs,go to zeus Workout Playist Thread in media :p

First Off,i Start out with a 15 rep,with 5 pound ankle weights on and do 15 reps of pulls ups

then I put 1 of those on my back,and do 20 push ups

Put those aside,and do 25 sit ups

Run on a tredmil for 30 minutes,speed at 6*start low thou*
I do that for baseball

Then repeat 1-3

then i do curls,reps of 10,15 pound dumbells

bench 50 when sports arent in,,75-100 when they are

then i take a 2 5 pund dumbells,and do finger curls

It's not the hardest,but it keeps me in shape for baseball :D

Finger curls aren't necessary you don't have really muscles that can sustain that in your hands or wrist. Tendons mainly. They are pretty much pointless.

Depending on what your doing in baseball you need to increase your weight on curls. Do 6 reps of 20 pounds for 3 sets once you can do that do as many reps up to 6 with 25 pounds for 3 sets.

You should always do 75 - 100 bench instead of doing 50 when sports aren't in. Build up to 125 - 150 and just keep at that so your chest doesn't get too big for baseball.

You should increase your weight on curls if your going to continue pitching. It will let you pitch a lot faster. Whats your speed at now?

What else do you play?

Start curling 20 for 6 - 8 reps for 3 sets. If you can't get 6 get as many as you can wait 2 minutes and do it again for 3 sets.

Same thing until you can do 8 - 8 - 8 on the 20 pound on curling. You should see an increase in your speed like 70 - 80 tops once you can do 8 - 8 - 8 then start doing 25's and you'll see a better increase. Also work on the different part of your arms.

20 Pound Curls

Diamond Push Ups ( Put the index finger and thumb in an L and put them on the ground touching and do like 10 push ups. Works your triceps. )

Wide Push Ups ( Arms wider than shoulder length put your elbows out as far as you can get them while bent at a 90 degrees angle. Works chest and shoulders )

That should increase your overall upper body strength and you should be able to do a lot more things better.

If you don't want to, don't do the 20 pound curls by all means. Do what makes you comfortable. But I recommend the Diamond and Wide push ups along with daily normal push ups to keep your upper body in top condition. BTW First days of diamond push ups are a bitch your triceps will hurt like hell and cramp up even if you stretch once you try to do other push ups so do them last. If you put pressure with your arms extended it will cramp up on the first couple days. It sucks. I just started doing them I only did 5 today.
