🚨 ALL PITCHERS NEED TO KNOW THIS 🚨
Icing your arm after throwing isn’t doing what you think it is.
It might feel good for a few minutes… but it’s not actually helping your arm recover, rebuild, or get stronger.
Throwing is a high-intensity stress on your arm.
If you want to bounce back and throw harder, you need to train your arm after you throw — not shut it down.
That means:
– Bands to restore blood flow
– Plyo balls to groove movement
– Dumbbells & kettlebells to rebuild strength
– Controlled, intentional movement instead of just sitting with ice
Recovery isn’t passive.
It’s active.
If you’re serious about staying healthy and adding velo, start treating your post-throw work like part of your training… not an afterthought.
Your arm will thank you.
