Elite pitchers need overhead mobility and strength to stay healthy and throw hard. @Coach_Jamnes explains why and how we train it at OGX. Start with a biomechanics assessment: go.ogxsoftball.com/ogx-softb… #softballtraining #overheadstrength #pitchingmobility #ogxsoftball #betonme

Tubing Alone Won’t Save Your Arm Think resistance bands are enough to bulletproof your arm? Think again. Studies show that deceleration forces during a high-velocity pitch can exceed 140% of your body weight—that’s your arm trying to get ripped out of its socket. ⸻ ⚠️ Tubing ≠ Game-Ready Strength •Tubing is great for activation and mobility… •But it’s not enough to build the strength needed to handle elite-level decel forces. ⸻ ✅ What Should You Aim For? A real goal for any serious pitcher: Be able to hold at least 50% of your body weight overhead with one arm. •This builds true shoulder, scapular, and thoracic strength •Prepares your body to withstand the violent deceleration of high-velocity throws •Drastically reduces your risk of shoulder and elbow injuries ⸻ This kind of strength doesn’t happen overnight—but if you’re serious about staying healthy and throwing hard for the long run, it needs to be a top priority. 👉 Start building it the right way at TopVelocity.net #TopVelocity #ArmCare #ThrowHarder #PitchingStrength #InjuryPrevention #OverheadStrength #DecelerationTraining #VelocityBoost #PitchingMechanics #BaseballPerformance

Why Most Pitchers Get Injured This Time of Year 😤⚾ 🚨 Arm pain? Injuries? It’s not just bad luck—it’s lack of strength. Most pitchers today simply aren’t strong enough to handle the demands of throwing hard and often. 💡 The reality: 👉 If you can’t hold a barbell overhead for a full minute without breaking down, you’re at risk. 👉 You should be able to support at least 25-50% of your body weight overhead for extended periods. 👉 Tubing & throwing won’t fix it—those are the culprits. You need real overhead strength training. 🔥 Coaches, if you’re not prioritizing overhead strength, you’re part of the problem! Stop accelerating injuries and start building durability. ✅ Test your strength, track it, and train smarter. If you’re not doing overhead work, you’re falling behind. 💪 Hashtags: #TopVelocity #PitchingMechanics #ArmCare #ThrowHarder #BaseballTraining #StrengthMatters #OverheadStrength #InjuryPrevention #MLBDreams #BaseballPerformance #ThrowGas
