Core, core, core and....uh....core.

I havnt seen you hit, so I cant say for sure what 1 muscle group you need. But, you proly have an amature swing, thus arms and forearms and lats. Many people swear on the core or legs, like Maxx and numerous others.

if i were to video my swing and upload it than you could tell me???

If you want me to.

the next-


if anyone tells you anything other than your "core" muscles... stop listening then...

core is everything except arms/legs/neck...

If he is swinging with his arms, just work on his arms. The lower body is wasted because the core isnt used no matter how strong it is.

No, he needs to STOP swinging with his arms, if he wants to be successful. No matter how big his arms get, he won't be able to hit good pitching if he uses his arms to power his swing.

Power- well said.

LA- i saw the questions at top of thread that simply asked

"what are the #1 muscles i need to work on for hitting?"

no matter who is swinging or how they are swinging or what muscles they are swinging with... they need to make sure they are working on core...

Stop swinging with the arms is easier said then done. AND trying to change a swing, Can get disasterous. How many of us find the successful swing? Very Few. And if when he finds the successful swing Then, he can work on his core muscles. In the mean time, through limited communication, via this mesaage board, I'm gana go with work the arms. You will have a more powerful swing, will not try to mess up your swing, and you aint using the core muscles anyways.

You aint suppose to hit a good pitch, thats why its good. But not every pitch is gana be good.

Why?

why would you want to work the weakest/smallest muscles?

A chain is as only strong as its links

yeah, if your using a truck to pull a car out of the mud...

Im using a body to pull the bat out of the mud at initiation and at contact.

so would the smallest muscles be important, like the ones that wrinkle your nose, or should you focus elsewhere?
