Increase shoulder strength

MUCPitcher49Member

Currently I am a sophmore pitcher on a D3 college team. I have been battling tendonitis in my shoulder and have been doing some arm exercises to make it go away. I felt fine in Florida but once back to the cold weather in Ohio the issue came back but not as severe.

I was just curious what would be a good throwing program to strengthen my arm and in the mean time possibly gain 2-3 MPH. Currently I throw 80-81 consistently and topping out at 83. I long toss 2 times a week and lift 3 days a week during the offseason and running every day. Yet it hasn't seemed to help since I am still having arm troubles. Thanks in advance for any advice!

You should do the rotator cuff excercises at least 3 times per week. At least 3 sets of each exercise. The goal should be to feel a nice burn in your muscles from fatiguing it using light weights and going from exercise to exercise with no rest between.

Look at this page he has some good exercises to get you going.
