It’s a big Wednesday. The Baseball Hall of Fame class of 2017 is announced, and our family is actually closing on our new house here in Florida. And, it’s a beautiful sunny day outside – and I’m headed to the fields for throwing, hitting, and sprint work with our pro baseball crew. Who says hump day has to suck?

We don’t do a ton of direct forearm work with our guys, but this is a favorite: manual resistance pronation/supination with dowel rod. I love that it’s all about eccentric control. We toss it in as a last exercise on upper body days – and use it with both pitchers and position players. Thanks to CSP-FL co-founders Brian Kaplan and Shane Rye for the demo. #theyneedinstagram #cspfamily #armcare
