Baseball Training
I started working out at a training facility in Woodinville (25 minutes north) called the American Baseball Institute. The pitching coach's name is Neiman Nix, a Mike Marshall-type instructor. For those of you who are unaware of Marshall's teachings, he is a controversial ex-MLB player (Cy Young - 1974) turned pitching coach who has come up with a new type of delivery that he says will eliminate all arm-based injuries in pitchers. To achieve this goal, his pitchers train with 10-20 lb. wrist weights on their arms while going through various exercises, and throw 6-10 lb. iron balls as a form of overload training.
