Workout

Is this a inseason or offseason workout? I am amsumming its inseason considering majority of college players are playing summer ball.

This looks like a summer workout plan. I really like it..it's very detailed and even gives an option for no access to gym provisions. I'm anxious to see what my son's college coaches give him for this summer. He'll be traveling most of the summer so I'm hoping the workout is as detailed as this one. Thanks for sharing this...I think it looks pretty rigorous.

question:

on the bench press workout,it says something like 55x5,65x5,etc

what does that mean?Like 65% of your max,or what?
Just a bit confused.

Id like to give that routine a try,sounds pretty thorough.Then again,if my workout has been giving me positive results,Im not sure if I should switch.

hope nobody minds giving advice on my workout:

every other day-
-warmup(usually a couple laps around the field)
-bench press: 10,8,6,4,2(add weight each time)
-Squats: 3x12reps
-lunges: 3x12reps
-curls: 3x 12reps
-hammer curls: 3x12reps
-tricep overhead press: 3x12reps
-shoulder extentions forward: 3x12reps
-shoulder extentions side: 3x12reps
-standing shoulder press: 3x10reps
-incline bench press: 3x8reps
-calf raises: 3x12reps
-Quad Curls: 3x12reps
-Hamstring curls: 3x12reps
-forearms rolls(frwd + rvs): 3x15reps
-free weight crunches: 4x25 reps
-Lat pull downs: 3x12reps

Now,Ive seen fairly respectable results thus far,but I feel that there is always room to add(or subtract) something that may/may not be beneficial

From getting advice from Jon Doyle and others on this board, I feel I can say some things about your work out Future Catcher:

- No need for curls/Hammer curls
- No need for Incline Bench
- Way to many reps for inseason
- Don't need to decrease reps as you go for bench
- Try and stay away from machines
- You shouldn't bench or do plain squat more then twice a week....mix it up with different squat variations such as overhead squat and other forms
- I'm pretty sure I remember people saying Calf Raises don'd do much (Right?)


People can correct me if I'm wrong

Power clean/ hang clean would be beneficial..

Remember to change your workouts and reps day to day and week to week.

To go along with what the previous two posts said, add some power lifts such as Power Hang/Clean and Deadlifts. Make sure you only do 3 sets of about 4/5 reps, and only enough weight that will allow you to explode.

And you never want to do the same workout every other day. You should have different exercises all three days of your workouts

so the census seems to be add power cleans and deadlifts to the workout,while minimizing bench,curls,and hammer curls

That sounds about right,its not the first time Ive heard it so Ill switch it up a bit.

However,as far as not doing curls or hammers at all,I think I should still do it.I dont think its a good idea to work your triceps,without doing some bicep work.

What Ive been doing is that workout,with varying weight every other day.One day I max out,one day I do light weights,etc.And right now,we play about 3 days per week,with tournaments in between on weekends(about 1 tourney per month,sometimes 2 like I have in july),so I have plenty of recovery time in between days

thanks for the tips all,Ill give it a shot

Just Curious, not to steal the thread,

Im in high school still, but in college and AAA do the inseason programs feature core lifts, abs, cardio, and pfp(pitchers) or BP/infield?

I always remeber at the camps ive been too that the AAA coaches and the scouts say dont train hard to gain in-season, you just want the explosives(muscle wise: Abs, Legs) to gain. They said that the arm strenghth should be left to long toss programs..

Is this true or not?
