At first glance, it would seem to be centered in the arms. After all, you hold the ball and bat with your hands. Therefore, many baseball players who do lift concentrate on wrist curls, forearm and shoulder work.<br>This should never be the main thrust. The exercises for these areas are called specific auxiliary exercises. The true source of strength and power for a baseball player is centered in the hips and legs. Look at the photos of the two athletes shown from the waist down. One is Sammy Sosa who hit 66 home runs this year. The other is of a Discus thrower. Notice the similarity of the hip and leg position as you look at their full picture on the next page. <br>If a Discus thrower were to train only on upper body specific auxiliary and even lifts, he would fail miserably because of lack of leg and hip strength and explosive power. Maximizing a baseball player's potential does not mean doing leg extensions, leg curls and machine hip and leg exercises for the lower body. Baseball players must Parallel Squat and Power Clean to develop their maximum power. If baseball players were to really get after these two lifts and do them correctly, you'd have to do one of two things. Either move the fences back another 50 feet or get used to football-like scores.<br>Baseball players should also do quick foot drills, stretch for speed and jumping power, sprint train and plyometric train. We also do not want to overtrain in the weight room. The maximum time in the weight room should be 45 to 75 minutes three times per week in the off-season and two 30-45 minute workouts twice per week during the season.<br>GET STARTED NOW!<br><br>The best time to start is now.

The pro-level is the toughest time to start because there are so many games. Athletes over 28 who play over 100 games a year have a difficult time maintaining a workout schedule and being able to recover. The time to start is now. The younger the better.<br>FINAL NOTE <br><br>What was the best thing about Mark McGwire's history making 70-home run season? To me, it was his relationship with his son. The towering 500-foot blasts were great but I was more impressed when he hugged his son so often after circling the bases.<br>In our next issue (Spring 1999), we will feature LSU's remarkable baseball program. They are the two-time defending NCAA National Champions. This will be an in-depth feature article with great interviews from players and coaches. They do what they are supposed to do and the results speak for themselves.

Her height makes her too tall for runway work and sometimes makes it difficult for her to fit into some of the clothes.
