As a follow up i saw the study your talking about and what stood out to me was the max effort throws 3 times a week which is excessive, saw Brent Porciaou (sp) talking about it on twitter and went back and forth with him as well. I dont think the plan they used in the study is safe and I wouldnt do something like that. Brent's throwing plan is predicated on lifting weights getting stronger, movement training and proper mechanics which I also think are important and Im sure what they are doing on sight at Driveline as well.
