Okay, I hesitated to post here on this one because I get tired of always having to ask so many questions, but can anyone give me a ling of a list of things to do (strength training) for pitchers??? I have searched the internet for a good hour and a half, and have found nothing just extremely useful.  I really don't need an article debating whether something is "right" or "wrong" or whether "squats or good or bad for pitchers".  This is all I have read for the past hour.  I just want a list of things to do, and how many sets to do, and how many reps per set.  I am ordering Tuff Cuff, which is supposed to have all this in the program, but I just ordered it today, and I just need something to do for the next few days until it comes in!  This year for christmas all I asked for from my grandparents was  A squat rack so I could get into the weight room!  They already had a bench set, and leg press machine!  So I now have my own personal home gym! I am trying to put on muscle because all I am is "skin and bone".  So if anyone could give me a link or tell me what to do for the next few days in the weight room until Tuff Cuff comes in I would GREATLY appreciate it!  I start lifting tomorrow!!!

That's the thing!  I'm not exactly sure what kind of weightlifting program is inside the Tuff Cuff program!  I guess I'll have to find out when it gets here!  I have read the program description many times, and it tells what is offered inside but doesn't tell in detail

I admire your desire to better yourself as a pitcher and as an athlete.

As far as a weight training program, just like a pitching program there is a lot involved other than just lifting weights.

You need to be on a specific diet to eat enough, as well as the right things, to get the benefits from a training program.

You also have to remember a lot of this is about mother nature and you have to learn to cooperate with her as she won't with you. 

I am not sure what type of serious weight training a 15/16 year old needs, but maybe more band work, plyo, core and leg work, toss program. Do you play another position, if so you got to get two birds with one stone, so to speak.  Don't do anything unless you know what you are doing. 

If your school has a trainer you might want to see if he/she might have some pointers because they know you.  Remember you can  lots of info from the internet but that may not be the right info for you.

I know that you have done lots of homework and asked lots of questions, but make sure what you do is RIGHT for you.
