EXPERIENCE 100% LOCATION IMPROVEMENT… YOUR FRONT KNEE POSITION! Keeping your front knee in front of your front hip ensures proper alignment, allows for a smooth transfer of power from your legs up through your core and into your throwing arm, and creates a more stable base for the throwing motion. For "uncanny regularity" in hitting your target, you develop a well-coordinated throwing motion with all the factors working together. During the leg lift, when your front knee goes behind your front hip, you disrupt your body alignment, and limit your ability to rotate your hips effectively which leads to potential accuracy issues. Want to improve your location by 100%? Solve this issue and more at the Pro Pitching Institute.

HERE’S A SECRET ABOUT KEEPING YOUR FRONT KNEE IN FRONT OF YOUR FRONT HIP! I’ve found, when your front knee stays in front of your hip, your body is properly aligned to allow your core and legs to work together to make a full hip rotation which is an optimal power transfer. Keeping your front knee aligned creates a smooth transition from the to your throwing motion, allows for a more coordinated and efficient throw, and leads to greater consistency and accuracy. I’ve also found a knee falling behind your hip throws your body alignment off-center, disrupts the flow of power from your legs to your core and upper body, and disrupts your consistency and accuracy. If you want your front knee to stay in front of your hip and keep you aligned, improve your velocity, and double your location, then go to the Pro Pitching Institute for more information.

Day 17: Press Handstand Lower Body Strength Is Pistol Squat Your Goal? Here is my step-by-step progressions to build the necessary strength, balance, and flexibility progressively. Tips: * Consistency: Regular practice is key. Incorporate these exercises into your routine 3-5 times a week. * Incremental Load: Gradually increase the difficulty. * Form Focus: Always prioritise proper form to prevent injuries. * Patience: Mastery of the pistol squat takes time; don’t rush the process. 1. Weighted Squat: Feet hip-width apart, knees tracking over toes, and spine straight. 2. Supported Door Frame Pistol Squat: Use the support to control the descent and push up. 3. Single Leg Chair Step-Ups: Ensure your knee stays aligned with your toes 4. Eccentric (Negative) Pistol Squats: Lower slowly on one leg, then stand up with both legs. 5. Box Pistols: Start with a higher box and gradually lower the height as you get stronger. 6. Static Pistol Squat Holds: Hold at challenging but manageable depths. #yogastrength #YogaTeacher #presshandstand

Mastering ALTERNATING Dumbbell Snatch PT 2. The dumbbell snatch is a dynamic exercise targeting multiple muscles. Setup: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell with a neutral grip between your feet. Initiate: Engage core, bend knees slightly, then explosively extend hips and pull dumbbell upward. Pull: Keep the dumbbell close, leading with your elbow. Rotate hand as it reaches shoulder height. Catch: Drop into a partial squat, punch the dumbbell overhead, lock elbow and shoulder. Return: Lower the dumbbell with control, hinge at hips and bend knees slightly. Tips: Focus on form, start light, engage core, maintain control. NOW WE CAN ADD PART 2.

Small Changes, Big Impact The lying leg extension, or no-arm dead bug, is an effective core exercise when performed correctly. It emphasises control and focus over heavy loads and can be used for all levels, from beginner to advanced Try the following to get the most out of this exercise; 1. Lift the legs until the hips and knees are both at 90 degrees. It is important to return to this position after each repetition. 2. Engage the core and try to maintain contact between the lower back and the floor 3. Slowly extend one leg at a time, only going as low as you can while maintaining a neutral spine 4. Try to breathe in time with each movement - in when you bring the leg in, out when you push the leg out #fixyourform #workouttips #smallchangesbigimpact

AVOID YOUR THROWING ARM STARTING AWAY FROM YOUR BODY! I’ve discovered, by starting your throwing arm close to your chest, you create a pre-loaded position allowing your core muscles to coil. As you unwind during the throw, the stored energy efficiently transfers to your throwing arm, resulting in increased velocity. A pre-loaded throwing arm travels in a shorter with a more controlled arc allowing for greater precision and accuracy when releasing the ball. Starting with your arm behind your body puts undue stress on your shoulder joint, increases stress in your throwing action, and maximizes your risk of injury. If you want your throwing arm to minimize the risk of stress, improve your velocity, and double your location, then go to the Pro Pitching Institute for more information.

Single leg stand up - AKA “shrimp squat”. A test of quad strength, stability, and flexibility. See comments to see how it’s done and progressions. The goal is 1 to start with. Why? This is a great test of balance, hip and ankle mobility, single quad strength, and stability. All of which are super important to avoiding falls, getting in and out of chair or car, and many other daily activities. Safety note: If you have never done this movement before, start slowly with easier progressions. For example, start by standing from chair with one leg, then to the progressions in the above video with balance assistance, and so on. Where you able to do it?
