- I've made a number of upper body lifting mistakes over the years, but these three are perhaps the most important to avoid for pitchers.
1. Improper Shoulder Abduction angle
2. Improper Rib/Cervical Positioning
3. Improper Pressing depth
Get these 3 right and you'll be well on your way to healthy shoulders and better on field performance.

Thank you for continuing to produce valuable content for your channel. Hope all is well and business is thriving. It's finally offseason for most players and a great opportunity to take this time and make great gains to carry into next season.
This is great stuff. I have struggled with front shoulder pain for 3-4 years and I have always tucked my elbows on all push/pull exercises. I believe that also promoted my bicep tendinitis.
Thanks for this video. Helping my 14-year-old son in his strength training in this video confirmed for me that we are approaching these exercises correctly. Pitchers need strong shoulders and pectorals, otherwise they will put unnecessary strain on the ligaments around the elbow, but as the shoulders and packs grow stronger they consequently are taking up and stabilize the muscles and ligaments throughout the arm as everything is attached back up into the shoulders especially.
Really helpful, thanks a lot.
Could you do some Lower body lifting mistakes
Good stuff Ben, can help any pitcher even the younger ones like myself :-)
Great stuff!
nice pushup form
On the drift, should you lean forward, or bounce off your back leg? Ik this doesn’t have to do with the video I’m just wondering
It's been a while since I've seen Ben's videos on the drift. Look through the channels archive and you will find a few, but I will give you my take and hope I can help in a way. My take is that the drift is neither a drive nor push from the rubber, more like a lean and a means to begin exceleration down the slope of the mound. I imagine staying inside my back foot as I begin leg lift, center of body shifted ever so slightly inside of center towards homeplate. The drift is only meant to be a 4 to 6 inch, at most initial movement. And you do not want to accelerate so fast that it throws your timing off. You want to be able to control of your glutes and not lock up the hips trying drive when trying to drift.
Thanks so much. This really helps, truly
