hey what's up everyone morey croson here with the performance lab of the California we got
another video here today it's going to be on how you can overall increase the your throw power as
they really focusing like a quarterback but it could be way to work well as a picture as well
the discovery really came through working more with pictures and just seeing how their arms
are able to go and then also there's obviously a lot of post use stuff going on I mean I just
love studying move and love studying to throw and the key thing that I've been noticing is I keep
our production is when you're coming with the ball coming through you want to get a lot of external
rotation in that arm as you're coming through so what I see a lot especially of the guys that are
not as good of throwers aren't able to put as much velocity on ball is they're going to get
that ball back behind their head and that's not really getting very much external rotation in
the arm the issue is as football players you guys do way too much bench press and what bench press
does now or or push-ups or whatever the case is it makes it so you have a lack of internal rotation
and external rotation of the shoulder it actually promotes more of an internal rotation movement
and therefore you get lack of external rotation same thing with doing bicep curls these things
are all maintenance so your shoulder is more at risk or not getting full range of motion so and
unfortunately nexor is kind of the way of thought within the the football player community on the
strain addition in coach football the football teams I know how you guys are thinking and it's
not a bad thing you just have to know what the consequences are the consequences just waiting
are that you're not going to be able to get as much of that pure excellent location pictures
don't do very much bench press the reason why is being and the reason they have success throwing in
throw so hard is because I'm able to keep that external rotation when they're going through
the throw it's a hard movement to be able to continually do effectively and so you have to
keep as much range of motion as you can and what that looks like is when you're coming through and
you're and you're bringing the ball through that ball wants to basically be straight you've talked
about this before we don't want to make it so this ball goes back and then comes here comes here you
know you don't want it to go anywhere else you want it to go into straight external rotation
you want that elbow to be coming straight through okay this is going to make it so you put a bigger
stretch on that PEC basically put a bigger stretch on the shoulder and it also makes it so when you
come through you can get more generation out of that the risk-takers another big thing that I
think that you know a lot of people are missing on is the importance of that wrist you have to
have a big wrist flick when you're coming through in order to properly generate force and if you
don't achieve that you're not going to be able to really play it at that high level right this
is gonna be you know it's all about those small differentiations so this is a small change you
can make in your throw that's just gonna make it so you can get that release out that much faster
because now the ball is not gonna come back behind your head it's gonna go back this right here and
then straight through right you got something the damn Greenough talks about is you want to throw
them up or if you want to go back it up back it up get that ball out of hand and what that
actually does is you go back it out it's going back and if you go up that elbow comes right
up through it's a big thing even that pitchers talked about you know they're coming up they're
trying to bring that elbow straight through it's all about external rotation so as quarterbacks I
feel like we're missing a key part in achieving maximum throw potential by not getting that full
external station you know some of the really good quarterbacks that have come in here guys like
Bryce Young who have that really clear release he gets so much external rotation and shoulder and
it's no wonder why he's able to have such that they're that really fast relief and a lot of
power on the arm so I think this is a few thing that if we make into your throwing capabilities
in order to take your current throwing status and raise it to a whole another level as always
thanks for watching our videos you want to send in a throw breakdown to see how well you're achieving
that external rotation or any other parts of the throw we'd love to take a look be able to
help you out it does cost money though to be able to do it but you know I think that the value is
definitely there we send you exercises we wanted we want to connect with you and talk on the phone
with you we want to make it so you're getting the most value out of using the performance
out of California and we want you to succeed okay so you know and if you have any questions
send me an email morey@yourperformancelab.com as always thanks for watching and we will see soon
