Pitching Arm Strength

Wrist Curl Builds Super Strong

Wrist Flexors

Strong wrist flexors will add that extra Oomph

to snapping off pitches that otherwise would not have got the job done

The Extensor Wrist Curl Targets The Extensor Muscles That Are Responsible For Elbow & Wrist Rotation.

This Is Essential To Overall Forearm & Wrist Strength Development, And A Key Exercise Missing From Most Forearm / Wrist Strength Developers.

A great exercise for snapping off a curveball or slider.

Forearm Flexors - (wrist and grip strength)

Wrist Flexors - (wrist and grip strength)

Extensor Muscles - (elbow and wrist rotation)

Brachioradialis - (acts to flex the forearm at the elbow)

The E-Flex Forearm Bar targets all of these muscle groups.

Barbells only target the wrist flexors, forearm flexors and limited engagement of the brachioradialis.

Wrist Rollers only target the Forearm Flexors and partially target the Brachioradialis.

Grip Emphasis Devices only target the Forearm Flexors with partial engagement of the Wrist Flexors.

Reverse Wrist Curl Targets the Forearm Flexors and Brachioradialis

Build Powerful forearms

Increase speed and velocity

I received the new E-Flex Forearm Bar and I have to tell you... You've done it again! I was highly impressed with the original Pro Series Forearm Bar and it's versatility in training baseball players, but this updated version adds a whole new dimension to preparing my ball players for the demands of the diamond.

It's no secret that forearm strength and power will help batters with more solid contact at the plate, more bat speed through the hitting zone, and greater distance on hits. But until now they have had to change from barbells, to dumbells, to squeezing tennis balls, to buckets of rice. Now you can get superior results with one piece of equipment.

And it works great for pitchers, catchers, and outfielders who need to get every bit of strength in their throws as well. Getting that last explosive snap of the wrist adds that "little something" to throws that would have otherwise not gotten the job done. Add to that the ability to work a pitchers forearm in a "pitching specific" motion of snapping off a curveball or slider and you've got a great tool in your hands.

Simply put, any baseball player that does not train with the forearm bar is not reaching their full potential... Period!

Muscles of the rotator cuff respond well to light weight and high reps

The E-Flex Forearm Bar Front Raise is great for developing the deep muscles of the shoulder and their tendons, which connect the arm to the shoulder joint, encircle it, and provide strength and stability while permitting rotation of the arm. This is essential to overall arm strength and preventing rotator cuff injury.

The biceps curl is the definitive exercise for strengthening

the upper arms. It is a popular misconception that you have to go heavy for this exercise. In fact the opposite is true.

The biceps are made up of two relatively small muscles and when you go too heavy with a biceps curl rocking or bouncing of the weight engages the lower back and shoulders, and this does little to actually target the biceps

To properly train and strengthen the biceps you must isolate them using a challenging weight and strict technique.

This is precisely what the E- Flex forearm bar is designed to do.

The reverse biceps curl targets the outer head of the biceps

The ergonomics and leverage mechanics incorporated into the E-Flex Forearm Bar also engages the

the forearms and triceps.

What Are Coaches / Scouts Looking For In A Pitcher?

When scouting a pitcher the first quality a scout will look for is a strong arm. Next is the ability to throw the following

· A fastball that has good velocity and movement. A major league fastball is in the 85-90 mph range

· Curveball- scouts look for a fast tight rotation on the ball. A good curveball will break both laterally and downward about two feet. A good curve ball looks like the bottom has dropped out as it approaches home plate.

· Slider- A good slider can be a tremendous asset to a good fastball and will give the appearance of a fastball until it breaks about 6-18 inches as it approaches home plate.

· Change up- A good change up can also be a tremendous asset by making the fastball seem that much quicker. A good change-up should look identical to a fastball but traveling 15-20 mph slower causing the hitter to be way out in front.

If you want to bring the heat on a consistent basis, improve velocity, movement, prevent arm injury and have the bottom dropping out of your breaking stuff overall arm strength is essential.

This includes all the muscle that make up the forearms and wrist flexors, the biceps, triceps, and the all important muscles that make up the rotator cuff.

Today's top pitchers know that a strength specific resistance training program
will greatly benefit their game.

The E-Flex Forearm Bar is a revolutionary patented multi – purpose free-weight apparatus designed specifically with the ball player in mind.

The unique leverage mechanics and ergonomics incorporated into this apparatus allow you to build powerful forearms, super strong wrist flexors and grip strength.

This bar also allows you to target and isolate the biceps, shoulders and the extensor muscles of the forearms that are responsible for elbow and wrist rotation.
