haha yeh im running ws4sb3 right now. i can't wait to get back to it after i recover. i have a mind set of setting new PR's on lifts more, which will help. I love how he includes dynamic lower body! thats one of my favorite days now haha. anyways kind of off topic but in college are they making you follow any sort of special diet? Or are you kind of just doing your own thing?

well good luck with the gains bro and dynamic lower body day is a great change of pace! They do not have us on a special diet but at the beginning of each school year, our team has a mandatory meeting which is mostly about drug tests but also talks a good amount about a proper diet. So, basically i am on my own LOL

both will help. u could try doing (in the off season) 1month heavy 1 month light and keep changing every month. ur most important thing is keeping ur squat (legs also) flexible since u are in the squat position for most of the game. just follow the guidline i posted earlier:
-keep the real heavy weight (squats & deads) in the 3~5 rep range.
-Keep the isolation exercises (leg curl & extension) in the 8~15 rep range.
-30 min or less of (easy) steady running/biking/swiming etc (can b done on any day of the week, to get the blood flowing).
-sprints with more than 2+min rest inbtween sprints. no more than 30 min.
-intervals. no more than 30 min.
- leg days, sprints, and intervals should be followed by 1 day of resting (except for upper body exercises and/or easy cardio).-we are what we repeatedly do. therefore, excellence is not an act but a habit.

I'm new here and could use some advice.
I'ma a junior this year, 5'9 158 lbs and am shortstop. I started varsity last year as a sophmore. How much bigger do i need to be? I'm not super fast, what will help me gain speed? What do you think is the most important tools colleges are looking for in a middle infielder? When did you start getting recruited?
I know I am asking alot of questions but I am real curious haha. I'm eager to pick someones brain with this kind of experience

This. I have noticed that during the recruiting process, shortstops seem to be more heavily recruited for their athleticism because you guys are usually the best athlete on the field...so, great athlete+good bat=Can play anywhere on the field
During our fall ball we always start with a ton of shortstops and they scatter them to different positions where depth is neededAVI FROM DECEMBER 2008...yea i know, i really need a new one

Johnny, what supplements do you take? I want to find a good supplement not made by CytoSport that is NCAA legal.
Also, since we have our 4 week break till Spring ball practice starts after fall workouts; I want to focus on high rep chest exercises. Do you have any good chest exercises that allow the scaps to stay free besides medicine ball push ups?

Whats up matty? the supplements I take are listed below:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/clabs/flood.html
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ch...nohydrate.html
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/dym/elite.html
I also take a multi-vitamin, fish oil, and flax seed oil...I have never been really into using a lot of supplements, I get probably 85% percent of my protein intake from food. If you want more help with supps, just let me know.
a good chest exercises that keep stress off your scapula is 1 arm alternating dumbbell bench press. This is good for baseball players arms because it frees up some of the scapula movement that regular bench press and even the dumbbell bench press can’t. This exercise is done with the you leaving one arm up as he bench presses the other arm down and then back up again. The pitcher then leaves that arm up and bench presses the other arm down and up.
You can also do this same exercise on a physio ball, it adds extra core stability to the work out and frees up the scaps even more. This exercise can also be done wit the incline bench press, just make sure to only go down to 90 degrees to protect the shoulder. also light DB Flyes would be a good idea as well.AVI FROM DECEMBER 2008...yea i know, i really need a new one

this right here. thanks ven33
now more questions please
EDIT: congrats hardcannon on being asked to go visit st. johns.
have a good time with your recruiting process. It is a very stressful time but also an opportunity not many people get the chance to experience. Visit every place you possibly can so that you know you are making the right decision when you choose.
Also don't let the pressure get to ya, go out and play the game you love and let the rest take care of itselfAVI FROM DECEMBER 2008...yea i know, i really need a new one

To ven and johnny: do college bball programs have tangible physical skill requirements. What i mean is this. I know in america they like position players to b proficient in these 5 areas: hit 4 power, hit 4 avg, running speed, defensive abilities, and strong throwing arm. In european sport school system (what i came through) u had to b exceptional in 2 of 4 tangible areas ( size, running speed, arm strength/throwing velocity, release time) & exceptional in 1 of 3 intangible areas (hitting consistency, fielding consistency, and mental ability/stability) in order to get signed. For example i was signed bcause i was exceptional in running speed, release time(basestealing 4 position players/ pitcher&catcher in throwing out base stealer) and mental ability. Running speed: 60yard= -6.5sec. Home to 1st= -4.0sec. 1st to 3rd= -6.5sec. Home to 3rd= -10.5sec. Home to home= -14.0sec. Had 2 beat all running times in order 2 b exceptional. Release time: consistently -3.0sec stealing time. Mental ability: score on a test.

When it comes to physical strength, no. Colleges tend to not care about numerical strength. I think the main thing coaches care about is can you help the club and can you get on base.
For outfielders...they wanna see speed. Sub 7.0 60's .... for the most part sub 6.8's.
For pitchers...I came to college throwing 80...left throwing 90-92. Honestly..its about having getting people out and commanding your pitches.

Yea man of course...shoot me a PM
I agree with Ven33 on this one and say don't cut. do what he said and remember you are still young and will grow into you body eventually.
You should eat complex carbs and proteins before you workouts, for example, I have 1 cup of oatmeal and a protein shake.
After workouts, you should take in protein and carbs (simple and complex). I drink a protein shake in gatorade (simple carb) and usually eat pasta(complex carb) and a couple chicken breasts.AVI FROM DECEMBER 2008...yea i know, i really need a new one

standards over there(here, since i live here now) r very low. Even pitchers, catchers, and 1st basemen had to run -7.0sec 60 in order to stay in the academy. I guess i have to consider that the biggest guy at the academy was 6'2 210lbs & in america that may b average size. Plus the academy was run by mlb scout/team, where as colleges r not. Pitchers had very tough standards in order to stay in. Fastball=85mph+. Slider=-5to10mph of fastball. Curve=-10to15mph of fastball.changeup= same as curve. Pitch to home with baserunner on = (i think) -1.5sec. All the academy cared about was #. I guess they thought that its harder teach athletics than skill.now that i reflect back i think the most important thing in bball is consistency, then skill and athletics.
