Baseball??

I am currently lifting weights for the baseball season. I am doing benches, shoulder press, wrist curls and i am working on my triceps.





Is there any other exercises I should be doing?





Would working on my biceps or deltoids help throwing or hitting?|||Work your core. Stomach, Hamstrings and Quads. Believe it or not, most of throwing and hitting comes from trunk rotation as well. Obviously large arms helps, but a very strong core enables greater control of weight shifting, allowing for longer hits and harder throws. Do leg curls and leg extensions for your hams/quads and do sit-ups/crunches, leg lifts and other stomach and back exercises for your core.





Hope this helps!|||do some leg exercises that will help you overall|||Take many swings a day with a bat. It will loosen up your muscles and prevent pulls and strains.|||wow, definately not good. you need to seriously be doing leg and ab exercises THE hardest. for arms, do forearms very intensely and the back. do rotator cuff exercises. you can also do tris and bis secondary. do not do shoulder press. it will greatly reduce your flexibility in your shoulder. same goes for bench press. do dumbell bench press instead. the barbell is bad for the shoulders (heard this from a pro scout i talked to).





do not think that arms are going to be the power of throwing and hitting. your legs, hips, and abs are going to produce the biggest portion of your power, along with forearms, back, and rotator cuff.|||Be sure to stretch. When you get big with muscle and don't stretch, you agility could decrease as your arms and legs can't extend very well. So be careful.|||Your core. My instructor emphasized that your core is important for a strong swing. Get a partner and do sit ups with them but get a medicine ball or a heavy ball and when you come up throw it to them and they will throw it back to you when you go down.|||Do leg exercises. That will help you in both hitting and throwing.|||squats man. Squats in just about any sport it helps you run faster and get more steals, plus pretty much all of your power comes from your legs.
