Bands

My boy (8yrs old) has seen me use bands each night and now he wants to use them so I have taught him to do a few of the "Thrower's Ten". I work both arms with the bands but wonder if this is necessary. Do upper level players work both arms or just the throwing arm? Opinions welcome also. Thanks.

You can get Jr J-bands from Jaeger sports. You do both sides for some of the work and just your throwing arm for some.

Thanks. I went to their website and it appears that there is no independent non-throwing arm work. Only time the non-throwing arm is worked is in tandem with throwing arm. This is not explicitly stated but the examples are such.

Work both sides. Keep the body balanced.

agree with Hawg.

would you do bicep curls for just one arm?

I used bands 3-5 times a week when I pitched competitively and i still use bands for training to keep the tendons and ligaments attached to muscles strong and balanced. Yes, do both sides. Remember as a pitcher you don't receive velocity from arm strength, the money is in the legs and hip rotation. lol
