Building ELITE Athletes with Michael Richards | Part 2 | EP 14

Episode #14 of the Down In The Dirt Podcast, is part 2 of my conversation with Strength and Conditioning Coach, Michael Richards, owner of Elite Athletic Performance LLC.

Michael and I continue our conversation from last week where in this episode we will touch on weighted ball training and how it has been the cause of the velocity jump in the MLB. He goes on to debunks some myths that go along with weighted ball training, along with how to protect your UCL and what factors may cause it to tear. Michael and I also talk about the importance of preparation and how the way you prepare in the gym is a direct correlation of the success you can expect to have on the field. Michael tells us why baseball players should be lifting weights and how this can improve an athletes athleticism. Michael ends the show by giving you guys advice on how to build your own strength program and even offers his remote strength training program if that is something you're interested in signing up for!
