Bodybuilding Training And Dieting For Improved Performance In Baseball!

Hugo Rivera

Bodybuilding is an activity that not only can be used for bigger musculature and less fat, but also for increased performance in sports. In this case … baseball. Use this detailed strength training program to improve your game!

Bodybuilding is an activity that not only can be used for bigger musculature and less fat, but also for increased performance in sports. In the case of baseball, bodybuilding training can be used as a means to increase strength and prevent injuries.
Strengthening the rotator cuff muscles as well as the core muscles, for instance, can not only prevent injuries but also allow for more overall strength that will allow for a faster pitch or for a stronger batting ability. In addition, increasing leg strength can contribute to a faster sprint from base to base.

  Strengthening The Rotator Cuff
Can Allow For A Stronger Batting Ability.

The program that will be presented here will be the weight training component of your overall training program provided by your coach, which may consist of various isometric, isotonic and isokinetic exercises, sprints, stretching, plyometrics and many other drills.
Depending on the position you play, your coach may instruct you to emphasize different elements of your program and to specialize in certain body parts.
For example, catchers, infielders and outfielders need to emphasize wrist, hand and core abdominal strength as well as general flexibility (especially in the legs). Pitchers however need general strength, flexibility and endurance with emphasis on the rotator cuff muscles and shoulders.
The goal of this weight training program is to increase the overall strength of all major muscle groups. There are two components to the program:

1. Off-Season/Pre-Season
2. In-Season Training

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (February 8, 2020) – Guards Gia Thorpe (Pittsburgh) and Iyanna Warren (Accokeek, Md.) combined for 38 points in the road win at Florida A and M (FAMU), 82-56, inside the Al Lawson Center. With the win, HU improved to 14-9 (6-4 MEAC) on the year while sweeping the Rattlers.

Thorpe and Warren each had career days scoring the rock. Thorpe led all scorers with 20 points on 50-percent (6-of-12) shooting while the Maryland native produced a career-best 18 points off the bench.

HU dominated the Rattlers from nearly start to finish, outscoring FAMU in all four quarters.

Howard attacked the rim at-will while getting to the charity stripe. HU shot 81-percent (34-of-42) from the free throw line, including 94-percent (16-of-17) in the fourth.

Taking a two-point advantage into the second, 10-8, the Bison extended their lead to double digits, 26-15, thanks to a trey ball from Thorpe.

FAMU sliced the margin down to seven, 26-19, with more than two minutes before intermission, but five freebies pushed the lead to 12 at the break, 31-19.

Both clubs shot over 50-percent after halftime, but Howard went 9-of-11 at the foul line to balloon the advantage to 16 after three, 54-38.

HU imposed their will in the final period, shooting nearly 55-percent (6-of-11) from the field while limiting Florida A and M to under 32-percent (6-of-19).

Freshman Makayla Minett (Chicago) also had a career performance, flirting with a double-double (11 boards and nine points).

Second-year forward Krislyn Marsh (Duncanville, Texas) added 15 points and senior guard Ayonna Williams (Washington) netted 12 points in the win.

For FAMU (4-17, 2-8 MEAC), they were held under 29-percent (20-of-70) shooting while committing 21 turnovers. Jasmine Ballew led the Rattlers with 17 points in a losing effort.

Monday (Feb. 10), the Bison wrap up its Florida trip at Bethune-Cookman. Game time is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. inside historic Moore Gymnasium.

 

NCAA Softball Howard Softball Defeated Twice at the Red & Black Showcase Finale

Bison drop both rematches to Kent State and Georgia

ATHENS, Ga. (February 9, 2020) – After yesterday’s long delay due to inclement weather, the Howard University softball team wrapped up the weekend with a pair of losses against Kent State (KSU), 1-8 (f/6), and No. 17 Georgia (UGA), 0-8 (f/6), in the Red and Black Showcase finale.

HU (0-5) generated a season-high six hits in game one, led by sophomore slugger Camille Navarro (Los Angeles) going a perfect 3-of-3 in the loss.

KSU (3-2) got on the board early, thanks to a pair of long balls in the first two innings, 0-3, but second-year standout Kalita Dennis (Elk Grove, Calif.) responded with a solo shot to dead center and pulled the contest within two after three, 1-3.

In the contest, Dennis went 2-of-3 with a homer.

Top four, the Golden Flashes scored twice to extend the lead, 1-5, and put the game out-of-reach with a four-run six inning, 1-9.

In the nightcap, Navarro delivered HU’s lone hit against nationally ranked UGA.

Georgia (5-0) did most of its damage early, scoring seven times in the first two innings, followed by an RBI-double from Mackenzie Puckett to end the contest in six, 0-8.

On Feb. 14-16, HU travels to the Tar Heel state for the Campbell Invitational, hosted by the Camels.

Real World Police on US Sports Net Presented by Tactical P.E. Featuring: Caught In A Web of Lies: Jeremy Dewitte vs. The Truth

On September 7, 2019 Jeremy Charles Dewitte was arrested by officers of the Windermere Police Department on charges of resisting arrest without violence, impersonating a police officer, and reckless driving.

 
Revolutionary Tactical Strength And Conditioning Program Provides A Simple Training Blueprint To Help Cops, Soldiers, And Prepared Citizens Gain Tactical Muscle

Dewitte wasn't thrilled, and he believed that one of the arresting officers had a personal vendetta against him due to a complaint Dewitte had filed about that officer at his previous agency. 

 Six days after his arrest, Dewitte, accompanied by his attorney Amir Ladan, entered the office of Windermere Police Detective John Allen. He was there to file a complaint. Under oath.

 Part of Detective Allen's job is to assess a complainant's credibility, and to that end he questioned Dewitte about his history of police impersonation arrests and accusations. Understandably, Dewitte played down his extensive record, but far less understandable is what happened next. Dewitte rewrote history under oath. His arrest (and conviction) in 1998 for impersonating a police officer? He never told anyone that he was a cop! It all stemmed from an innocent mistake involving a credit card that his mom got him right after his 18th birthday! He had pumped $13.40 of gas, and he went back the next day and paid for it!

When I first heard that recording I couldn't believe my ears. I am very familiar with the details of Dewitte's first arrest. I have read all of the court records from the case many times and I transcribed, word-for-word, the (originally handwritten) five-page arrest affidavit so I could include it in a public post on Patreon. Dewitte's version? The innocent mistake version? It was contradicted by the reality version.

 Dewitte claimed that "In fact, I [had] just turned 18 for like, a week." But his birthday is February 10th and the incident occurred on May 18th. (It wasn't reported to the police until June 11th, and Dewitte was arrested on June 25th, 1998.) He claimed that his mom got him a credit card and he didn't realize that it needed to be activated... but there hadn't ever been a credit card. Dewitte attempted to pay using a prepaid Mobil "Go" gas card. He never told her that he was a police officer... yet the clerk - who has no reason to lie about this - stated that Dewitte had claimed to be a police officer. Dewitte also told the gas station owner that he was a police officer. Even minor details, like the dollar amount of the gas he had pumped. $13.40, stated with supreme confidence in the recording. Reality? That's wrong. And the last part? Which is perhaps the most important part? Dewitte's claim that he had gone back the next day and paid for the gas? Well, back in 1998 Jeremy Dewitte wrote a sworn affidavit: "



...In his statement, Defendant admitted that he did not pay for the gasoline, and has not paid since the date of the incident." 

 All of the documents shown on screen in this video are available for download at https://tiny.cc/dewitteless Also in that folder is Dewitte's Chicago arrest information. Because - hey - guess what?

 Turns out he was arrested in Chicago after all. (Or so says the Chicago Police Department.)

 Last but not least, a correction: on-screen text in this video asserts that Florida police academy applicants must be at least 19 years old. I had been provided that information from a source in Florida law enforcement and I regrettably did not verify it prior to its inclusion here. By law the age requirement only kicks in upon graduation, prior to employment in a sworn capacity. That said, I contacted *every* accredited law enforcement training center in Orange county and all but one stated that they require their applicants to be 19. In the unlikely event that Mr. Dewitte can prove that he had been accepted to a 770-hour basic law enforcement police training academy in 1998 (and not an "Explorer Academy, Citizen's Police Academy, Teen Police Academy, etc.), he is welcome to email verifiable evidence to corrections@realworldpolice.com. If that happens and his proof checks out, I will publish a prominent correction. Don't hold your breath.

The Rock Almighty Devotional, Praise, and Worship with Ken Tamplin

Resting in God’s Grace from CDM

The world lavishes attention upon people who work hard to earn what they want in life. However, we often see that the empires they spend so many years building crumble and collapse, and they’re worse off than before. There’s nothing wrong with hard work, but only if the mindset behind it is on God. True success comes when we rest in Jesus while we work.
When we labor in our own works with fretful, anxious minds, we accomplish far less than if we rested in God’s grace and let Him do the work. Far too many people worry constantly because of the pressure to perform. We must remember that grace is available to everyone, and there’s no rest without it. His grace is sufficient, and it’s all we need.
Fear of the future is rampant. We don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, and that causes stress for untold numbers of people. When we turn over all of our tomorrows to God and embrace an attitude of “I’ll do whatever He directs me to do,” we’re empowered for success. It’s not up to us to direct our own courses in life.
God wants to work in us, through us, and for us. When we trust Him and allow Him to do so, we find the peace that only comes from Him. This requires faith, which positions us in His grace. It takes work to find this place of rest and stay there, but it’s well worth the effort.
Prayer:
Lord, Your Son went to the cross so that we could set aside all fear, anxiety, and worry, and simply rest in You. No more self-effort is needed, only Your grace. We’re thankful for this. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Scriptures:
Ecclesiastes 1:1-11, NKJV
2 Corinthians 12:9
James 4:14, 15
Jeremiah 10:23
Romans 5:1, 2

Prayer: The Ultimate Game-Changer

by Creflo Dollar |

In our daily lives, there are plenty of opportunities to become tangled in situations that we can’t cope with. When this happens, we have a choice on how to handle the problem. We can either try to fix the issue ourselves and end up getting in worse trouble, or acknowledge our human limitations and pray for divine intervention. If we choose the second option, our prayers act as a powerful game-changer that can alter the outcome of a bad situation.

A “game-changer” is defined as a newly-introduced element or factor that significantly changes an existing situation or activity. Developing a strong prayer life works to our advantage; it connects us to the one person who can help when we find ourselves in trouble that threatens to overwhelm us. Our prayers should be infused with belief in the finished works of Jesus. “So Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them” (Mark 11:22-24, NKJV).
The world doesn’t understand prayer; it only knows what religion teaches—a monologue of constantly repeating memorized words. True prayer is a two-way conversation with God, who loves us and knows what’s on our minds before we even speak it. “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him” (Matthew 6:7, 8). God’s will is for us to have the same power and authority over situations as Jesus Christ. When we pray, we agree with Him on this.
Our trust in the power of what Jesus did, with no trace of doubt, distinguishes our prayer lives from the way the world prays. Prayer should be active, not passive. Employing faith when we speak with God allows Him to reveal to us the specifics of what He wants us to do to position ourselves for deliverance from trouble. “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” (James 2:17).
Jesus went to the cross to give us victory over adversity. Therefore, we don’t have to resign ourselves to accept trouble as part of life. All we have to do is receive what He made available. Praying correctly connects us to limitless power. “…The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective” (James 5:16, NIV).
We never have to wonder whether God wants us to master the situation. His Word is crystal clear. Our faith in what Christ has already accomplished turns the tide in our favor. “For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4, NIV). We have His assurance that when we pray, we don’t have to beg Him to do something, but instead thank Him for what He’s already done.

Cardio Training Guidelines For Basketball Players!

Mauro Di Pasquale

For every activity there is a specific way you should train to get maximal, timely results. Coach Falsone details his cardio workout for the Rockets and Comets.

For every activity there is a specific way you should train to get maximal, timely results. Coach Falsone details his cardio workout for the Rockets and Comets.

Basketball Cardiovascular Conditioning

The following are guidelines for an off-season basketball cardiovascular program, which is designed to increase the endurance and efficiency of your cardiorespiratory system.
The program consists of two components:

• Cardiovascular Training: (Aerobic Work)
• Sprint (Interval) Training: (Anaerobic Work)

Stage One: Cardiovascular Training (Aerobic Work)

Cardiovascular training is crucial in order to build a solid base of conditioning. This type of training should be executed 3-4 days per week and can involve activities such as running, biking, hiking and swimming.
If you choose to run, perform these activities on a track or grass surface to alleviate stress on the knees. It is important that you realize that you DO NOT have to distance run everyday in order to get an effective workout.
Running is extremely effective, but it is also extremely stressful if done over long periods and distances. Cross-Training is an effective method to use in order to get results with little risk to your body. The stresses that the body encounters doing a variety of activities is more beneficial to the athlete than the stresses encountered by doing the same old, tired routine. Also, the risk of injury is greater if you only take part in one activity.
Here are some examples of different forms of cardiovascular exercise along with suggested time limits:

• Exercise Bike: 30-45 minutes / Jogging: 30 minutes.
• Stairmaster: 30 minutes / Aerobics Class: 30 minutes.
• Water Exercise: 30 minutes / Versa Climber: 30 minutes.

Again, these are only a few suggestions. Use your imagination to create cross-training programs that will keep you interested and motivated.
Your Target Heart Rate must be maintained in order to gain the full benefit of cardiovascular training. At this point in time it is necessary that your Training Heart Rate (THR) fall between 70-75% of your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR).

Stage Two: Sprint / Interval-Training

Anaerobic training involves the application of timed recovery periods following brief, but intense, runs. This type of training is specific to the nature of basketball. In a game situation, play (work) is stopped when a timeout is called, or a penalty is assessed (rest interval). The goal of interval-training is to condition your body to become accustomed to not only the high-intensity running nature of the game but, also, the brief recovery periods.
While other players try to catch their breath during free throws, you are recovering. This results in the ability to sustain high-intensity output throughout an entire game. In order to make this possible, rest periods employed during anaerobic conditioning sessions will range from 1:1 to a 1:3 work/rest ratio. All rest periods have been predetermined for future training sessions.
Prior to sprint training, it is important that you warm up and stretch sufficiently. It is also necessary that you perform a sprint-specific warm up, in addition to your general warm-up and flexibility program. This will greatly assist you in preparing your muscles for high-intensity work, and help reduce the chance of an injury occurring.
Remember, stretching is not warming up. Sitting on your butt stretching has absolutely nothing to do with running. While stretching is important, understand that it is only part of the preparation protocol.

1. General Warm-Up: Designed to increase body temperature and to gradually elevate heart rate, similar to slightly revving your car engine on a cold morning. 1/4 mile jog, bike, treadmill, fast walk and jump rope all qualify as a general warm up. Duration of warm up should be from 5-10 minutes.
2. Flexibility: Never stretch a cold muscle. Always performed following general warm-up. Designed to increase the elasticity and circulation to muscles and further prepares your body for exercise. When stretching, pay close attention to your quads, hamstrings and calves but don't neglect to perform upper body stretches as well. Sprinting is a total-body movement. Injury to any part of the body is a possibility if necessary steps of prevention are not taken.
3. Sprint-Specific Warm-Up: Specific to the nature and movement patterns of running. Performed prior to sprint training, the sprint-specific routine will help to loosen tight muscle groups in an Active, and Dynamic, way (also known as Active Warm-Up and/or Dynamic Warm-Up).

During your sprint workout it is important that you practice proper running technique. Arm gait (Cheek-to-Cheek), Knee Drive (Forward), Body Alignment and Head Tilt must be carefully monitored and maintained. Concentrate all movement forward, not across your body.
You will begin the sprint-training program with "3/4 strides" (75%), and will gradually increase intensity as the week's progress. Over the course of the off-season, the intensity (speed / effort) of the runs should increase, while the volume (in this case, distance), should decrease. Once you begin sprinting, all sprints must be performed as close to maximum as possible (90-100%), in order to benefit your performance.

The Final Stage: Basketball-Specific Metabolic Training

I do think that it is important to mention that the majority of our early work involves endurance running, and the later work tapers from long duration type sprints: 800m, 400m and 200m, to shorter, more intense, sprints such as 100m, 50m, 20m and 10m. When we get to the final stages of the off-season we are doing strict basketball-specific work; most all of it is performed on the basketball court.
This final preparation work involves conditioning drills with the ball and metabolic conditioning. An example of metabolic type work would be repeats, or rather, back-to-back runs with rest periods, that are precisely specific to the nature of the game (see routine below). I have even gone so far as to design a position-specific metabolic program for my players.
Some of our players do like to do their in-season conditioning work outside, as do some of the players undergoing rehabilitation however, we are trying to duplicate the short, intense sprints that are done on the basketball floor.

Metabolic Conditioning Example

• Starting on baseline
• Sprint to free throw line—sprint back
• Immediately sprint to opposite baseline—sprint back
• Immediately sprint to half court—backpedal back

Rest 25 seconds

• Lateral slide to free throw line (left arm lead)—slide back
• Sprint to half court—backpedal back
• Lateral slide to free throw line (r. arm lead)—slide back

Rest 25 seconds
I would repeat this type of drill, changing the commands on each, for a total of six reps. After 6 of these cycles have been completed, I give the player a two minute rest period, during which, the player will shoot free throws. Following the 2-minute rest, we do another set of six. Again followed by 2-minute rest with free-throw shooting.
The player ATTEMPTS to complete six sets of this program. However, I can do as little or as much as I need, depending on what I am trying to accomplish. A player trying to maintain conditioning may need as little as two sets of six. A player trying to return to the court after injury will of course require more.

Conclusion

If you follow these guidelines, you will gradually build up your aerobic and anaerobic levels to meet the demands of the basketball season, but remember, be safe. Don't push yourself too hard early on. If you get ahead of schedule, you may over stress your body, which could lead to injury. Take your time, and do it right. You'll get to where you need to be by the start of the season. Good Luck!

Introduction

For most high schoolers, there's nothing better than walking onto a freshly cut field on a Friday right, dressed in pads from head to toe with your school's helmet on, ready for battle, ready for war. All football players dream of that game-saving sack, the tie-breaking field goal or the game-winning catch.

Regardless of your goal or ambition, only two things matter in football, your determination, and your amount of EXPLOSIVENESS, regardless if your on offensive line, or defensive line - your explosiveness is what counts, how fast you get off that line, how fast you get down that field, how fast you go from a 3-point stance to blasting through that offensive line.
A lot of people; no matter what you're going for, be it high school, college, semi-pro or even pro, dream of standing up on that field in front of hundreds or even thousands of people, but, before that happens, you got to get through summer training first.
That's where I come in. The following program is designed for the average football player of every position, it specializes in strength, speed, power and explosiveness, something that EVERY position needs.

The Split

First thing when designing a training routine, is to define your goal and then determine what best suits your goal.
Well, football is a major contact sport that includes tons of explosiveness, power and speed. How is it possible to train all those in one training week you might ask? Well, it's not as hard as it looks.
In a nut shell, you'll be doing an upper body/lower body split (I'll go more into reps and sets later). The split is designed accordingly. Keep reading..................
