Editorial Reviews

Review

Your book has helped me out exponentially by giving me a baseball specific training program that focuses on baseball related muscle groups. Working out is good but working out with a program like this has already made huge improvements in things that can help me in my game. The book also gives me motivation and because of that I haven't missed a workout since I started 6 weeks ago. I liked your book so much I recommended it to my high school coach and now he uses it for the whole team. Thanks SportsWorkout! --Kris S, District Champions, Runner Up, All District

My son has used The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Baseball for a few months now and he has gained considerable strength and flexibility. As a result, he was able to dramatically improve his arm strength for baseball pitching. I recommend your book to all. --Geoff G

To all softball players, coaches and parents:

In this video review, I explained that I'm very qualified to review this product and why I strongly believe that this book is not specific enough for softball players and is better suited for the general population.

- Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach (over 10 years of experience training and conditioning softball players)
