hey everyone thanks for tuning into the performance lab don't forget to
subscribe below to the right for updates to new videos and a huge announcement coming up enjoy
what's up everyone morey croson here from the performance lab of California we got another
member video here today on throwing mechanics and I got a submission for this video I I wish I
remembered the name of the submission but I don't but it's talking about the front arm and I do you
think we've done post before that talk about the front honor but I do you think this is gonna be
a very you know that's a couple years ago and I think I can explain everything a little bit better
here so let's go into the front arm how you want to use the front arm and now the important thing
is that you want to consider is you want it to be efficient I mean this whole movement wants to be
a very efficient movement a lot of times when I see a front arm is there's like these weird
kind of movements that happen with it like this chicken wing or like you know extension and you
know just trying to do way too much with the with the front arm um where you don't usually see that
very often you know the Lisa at the top of the guys we don't see them doing a bunch of crazy
show with the left arm so I do think you really want to hone in on keeping that nice and compact
and it seems like the best idea for it most guys do is so you're loading back and then when they're
coming through it's about really more so the shoulder continuing rotation and pulling your
hand into your chest right so here I'm pulling my hand Mike into my chest and I'm keeping rotation
with that frontal with that front shoulder okay so you don't want to have happen though is you
don't want to end up kind of going here I'm making it so it opens up too early right let's do comedy
that I see you're here and then you fly that front shoulder open and when you fly that front shoulder
open now that your your shoulders in front of your hips and now you're gonna be all out of whack so
you want to make sure that you're controlling that that front Ottoman the positioning of the
front arm the other thing that you I don't think you want to do too much of is like locking it in
there sometimes try to be like super stiff with the front arm right and when that happens now
you don't allow continual rotation really of the hip right you're really what allow that that arm
you get all the way through and make it so then you give all your weight distribution forward
if you end up kind of maybe so that that for an arm gets too too stuck in place right now you're
going to end up making it so that then not only your your hips end up going all over the place
or I'll see okay continued rotation within the spine answer lock up that's fine a little bit
and then you end up kind of throwing much more arm rather than throwing the shoulder kind of messes
a pallet how will your overall how in sync you are now I have seen more guys that have success
with keeping that arm locked in that I have seen with guys they kind of flare their own out to the
side okay so in terms of compare and contrast I would say that was a better one but overall it
seemed like they're like 90 90 and then pull in that shoulder back it's gonna be the key thing
to do in order to maximize your overall rotation within that front arm and really feel that front
arm pulling back of me even guys like we just did break down on Sonny Jurgensen even him he had a
really good pull with that left arm so really think about pulling that left arm and using that
acceleration of the left arm to help that right on go a little bit faster so yeah there should
help out a lot hey if you guys have any more information that you want to learn a little bit
more about you can always check out our ebook the blueprint through the perfect throw I think it's a
great educational resource we even talked about the front arm in in there and how it could help
you out also if you want to get into our three months online program I think that's obviously
a great idea something that we can really focus on your mechanics make it so you could take your
current mechanics you go to a whole other level and then also strengthen the shoulder strength
within course in the lower body all these things are going to be crucial in order to maximize your
overall arm strength so definitely check that out and if you're interested go ahead and sign up for
our initial ten-minute call we'll be happy to hear from you and as always guys thanks for
watching these videos and we will see you soon watching this video I hope you really enjoyed

that we get also if you want to be check out some of our other breakdowns for speed and throwing
