Hello Diesels.

As I have posted before, I am a huge baseball (and especially New York Yankees) fan. I watch them every chance I get. I stay up to date on the Yankees’ rumor mill, trades, signings…all of it in-season and out.

However, putting all that drama aside, I also like to study what they do for strength and conditioning, and what other industry leaders are saying about strength and conditioning for baseball. I have a handful of baseball players that come to train every so often, and I like applying the stuff I learn to the training I do with them, plus I try to apply it to my own training. Although I will probably never play baseball again, I do indeed suit up for Slow Pitch softball during the summer and enjoy playing to the best of my ability because it is fun as hell and it is a good break from the “hardcore” training I am normally doing in the gym.

As you know, generating Strength involves the production of Tension systematically to overcome an object’s weight, inertia, etc.

For instance, in order to pinch lift two 35′s (shown above) , you must position your hand properly, apply tension correctly, and be able to generate enough tension/strength to lift the plates from the ground (while simultaneously keeping them pinched together).
