Forearm Bar Details

There Is One Common Denominator That Affects Power And Distance

There are literally thousands of different opinions about hitting techniques, but there is only one common denominator that affects both distance and the velocity of the ball leaving the bat no matter what your swing mechanics are or what swing mechanics theory you choose to apply.

That One Common Denominator Is Bat Speed.

Although bat speed is a sum of all the parts of your swing, the primary contributing factor for generating bat speed lies in the strength of the forearms and wrist flexors. Without strong forearms and wrist flexors you can have the best swing mechanics in the world and you will not hit for power or distance.

Hitting For Power

Hitting the ball for power is one of the more desirable traits for any hitter and one that will grab a scout’s attention. In order to hit for power, a hitter needs outstanding bat speed. Bat speed produces distance and all outstanding hitters have it. A hitter with above average bat speed will be able to drive the ball over 400 feet with regularity.

Hitting For Average

A difference of 1/100 of a second of bat speed through the hitting zone can be the difference between weak contact and solid contact. A difference of 1/100 of a second of bat speed through the hitting zone can be the difference between a sub .300 hitter or an above .300 hitter

Take Your Arm Strength Routine To A New Level

Strengthening of the arms, including shoulder rotator cuff, biceps, forearms, wrist flexors and grip strength will have a profound effect on your game and is a must for a strong pitching or throwing arm.

The E-Flex Forearm Bar is a revolutionary patented multi – purpose free-weight apparatus designed specifically with the ball player in mind. The unique leverage mechanics and ergonomics incorporated into this apparatus allow you to build powerful forearms, super strong wrist flexors and strengthen the extensor muscles of the forearms that are responsible for elbow and wrist rotation.

This bar also allows you to develop your grip strength, target and isolate the biceps and strengthen

the all important muscles of the rotator cuff.

I received the new E-Flex Forearm Bar and I have to tell you... You've done it again! I was highly impressed with the original Pro Series Forearm Bar and it's versatility in training baseball players, but this updated version adds a whole new dimension to preparing my ball players for the demands of the diamond.

It's no secret that forearm strength and power will help batters with more solid contact at the plate, more bat speed through the hitting zone, and greater distance on hits. But until now they have had to change from barbells, to dumbells, to squeezing tennis balls, to buckets of rice. Now you can get superior results with one piece of equipment.

And it works great for pitchers, catchers, and outfielders who need to get every bit of strength in their throws as well. Getting that last explosive snap of the wrist adds that "little something" to throws that would have otherwise not gotten the job done. Add to that the ability to work a pitchers forearm in a "pitching specific" motion of snapping off a curveball or slider and you've got a great tool in your hands.

Simply put, any baseball player that does not train with the forearm bar is not reaching their full potential... Period!

Baseball Arm Strength

What Are Coaches / Scouts Looking For

There are many different attributes coaches and scouts look for at different positions but there is one common denominator that all coaches, collage and pro scouts look for in all players and that is arm strength.

Outfielders:

A strong overhand throw
A straight-line trajectory
Good carry
Good life on the ball when it hits the ground.

Infielders:

For the shortstop and third baseman scouts will pay the most attention to throws made from the Outfield grass from deep short and the foul line at third If a player has a strong arm, it will show here.
They will also look for a straight-line trajectory.

Catching:

A good catcher can catch and throw to second base in under 2.0 seconds; some catchers can break 1.8 seconds. Scout / Coaches are looking for catchers who have a strong arm. And would like to see the throws have carry through at second base, with little if any tailing action on the throw.

Pitching

When scouting a pitcher the first quality a scout will look for is a strong arm and fastball as this is essential to setting up their breaking stuff.

Shoulder Raise

This is a great exercise for developing the deep muscles of the shoulder and their tendons, which connect the arm to the shoulder joint, encircle it, and provide strength and stability while permitting rotation of the arm. This is essential to overall arm strength and preventing rotator cuff injury.
