so good morning everybody this is Morey from performance lab and then Adam landecker from
baseball specific training you have been we're here again with another and you know single leg
well the idea here is that we're going to be able to go through what you're missing in your
strength and conditioning program they had a bride of a great point with let's go single leg
stuff so talk a little bit more about that yeah so today we're going to talk about how especially in
baseball how important it is to be on single leg and because it starts when you're little when you
start walking your i'm seeing a leg when you're running single leg nope so we really implement
and our exercises a lot on single leg for example a single leg RDL a rear foot elevated split squat
on one leg because in sports especially baseball when you're on your loan for pitching you're down
on one leg when you're hitting you're loading up on one leg when you're reacting to a ball in the
outfield in the infield you move that first step one leg so we need to be strong in those positions
absolutely and I think that you know it's a the next progression right so I think there's a lot
of programs in strain the conditioning that are just sticking to you know squat deadlift kind of
the traditional list and I think those are great and you have to be able to sustain those movements
in order to progress to single leg stuff but I do think that that is the next progression one
hundred percent I think that that would be such a beneficial thing is you know sticking to baseball
because of all the four students upcoming and we you know both work a lot with pictures and
coming downhill landing on that one leg you know even cutting backing or putting off faces you
know all the time you see stuff where somebody didn't do that correctly and that's all one leg
and then like you said even the functionality of running is a single leg driven movement so
if you can't work well on one leg that you limit the potential of your entire body whether it's
your left you know if your left leg is not as stable you're not going to be able to get as
much out of your right play or obviously as much out of your left leg so you have to be able to
build up that single leg strength in order to maximize your performance which had potential
yeah and going back to the programming of either high school or even some college programs because
it's tough to teach these exercises when some guys aren't able to stabilize like Maury said
and then you have one guy who is very good at stabilization of on a single leg so the issue
is is that we have 20 guys in a program it's tough to individually teach especially when
they're said some programs only up one strength coach nope so that's also another issue that we
face and that we're trying to get out and help help dies out yeah and I think that is going
to be a big organizational thing you know it takes that extra time that extra effort
to be able to put in that extra organization of how we're going to set up work out to taylor no
guy that can progressively single leg that's still in the you know two-legged positioning
and then also somebody that's you know maybe not even in the waited too late position yet
because they don't have the functionality of the you know core maybe the range of motion in the
hips are the ankles something like that which is preventing from even if using weight yet again I
think that's very very important point to get on that you know this has to be progressed through
your program just because you know I think it's a great idea and then you would have a
lot of improvement through it your body has to be set up to actually get that improvement or else
you're gonna end up making yourself worse if you don't have the single leg capability yet um you
know to stand on one leg and just to go through ranges of motion on one leg there's no way you
should be adequate to that movement so thanks for watching our video we try to make it about some of
the issues within straightening conditioning and we're going to continue to do this going forward
we wanted to see if you guys wanted to put any comments or questions or anything like that down
here we're going to keep making these videos so if you have any good ideas something like that
or just something that you know might just be a general question that we can answer you know let
us know yeah follow follow baseball specific training or go check out their website and
and same thing performance lab and we'll keep on keep these videos rolling see you soon
