Saturday 11/14

I'm out of town for the weekend so if you need anything give me a call or shoot me a text or email.  I'll be back sometime Sunday...

Position players... ideally these workouts are to be done after your hitting program.  If your scheduled time to hit is late in the evening on a given day, try to do these workouts earlier in the day so that you have at least an hour or two rest before you start swinging.  Just a hint: the morning is a great time to get these workouts done especially for you guys on campus.

Strength
5 x 5 Weighted Pullups
5 x 5 Weighted Pushups

WOD
5 Rounds:
10 Tire Flips + Burpee Box Jumps
- Alternate sets with your partner.  One partner rests while the other works.  As soon as one partner is done, the next one picks up with the flips
- Be sure to get your butt low on the tire flips (watch form on the video)
- Use the biggest tire we have in the visitors bullpen

...then, after about a 10 min rest...

(4) 200 m sprints
- 2 min rest between sprints

As much as I was laughing at this guy explaining these drills, a lot of you guys can benefit from these drills and tips on sprinting. (I don't like the turnover drill)

This guy knows a little about hitting.  Click on the different angles in the bottom right to listen to different clips.

I sent this one to a couple guys, this is also for hitters.  Take some time and check these out, if you know of a problem you have, watch how different guys execute that part of their swing.
