Joe: I think i follow you. Im confused by the statement "comes down to 3/4." Coach has worked on the "knock at the door". Bring the arm back, holding the ball as if knocking on a door, pull the arm back and follow through the throw. Elbow is at 90 degree. We work at it at...

she is infield, 3rd and short. she has a peculiar throw. I call a short stroke. Doesnt reach back very far, tends to bring the ball back to about the back of your head, and then more or less pushes the ball. She has alot of ball speed and accuracy, but the method is wrong, and the coach hates...

15 yr old daughter plays fast pitch softball. Her mechanics of throwing are alittle off. Coach is working with her. I would like to add strength trianing to increase the speed of the throw. Tricep work? I know girls do not develope as men do in the arm and shoulder area, but i am no expert...

I am 46 yrs old and lifting for 4 years. I have hit a plateau in my bench. I warm up properly, eat and sleep as best as I can. I work the bench once a week. The other 2 work-outs a week are all progressing fairly well. I do flat bench. My progress is all fairly slow, but consistant until lately...

I'm 46 yrs old, and lifting for 4 years. I have gotten stuck in my bench. I warm up safely, eat and sleep properly. My form is good. I work my bench once a week. My other 2 days of work are all progressing pretty good. I am probably a hard gainer by definition due to age and genetics. Any...

I have been taking a protein supplement, and seen my waistline grow. I have tried 2 different brands now with the same effects. I take it after my workout, 1 glass 50 grams protein, and 1 glass everyday between workout days. It has 220 calories, 3grams fat, 6 grams carbs, besides the other...

Thank you all for the answers. Due to my vacation and illness, I lost about 8 pounds, and my diet was minimal at best. I found it interesting, My triceps, which were nicely developed did not loose as much as my biceps, which are not so good. I also lost alot in the upper chest area, but my...

Due to a vacation and 2 weeks sick and work demands, I have'nt worked out in 5 weeks. I have really lost gains in size that took at least 12 months to put on. Why? I had been working out for 2 and a half years without fail. Its kind of demoralizing for this to happen. Is there something I can...

Thanks for the thread. the Atkins diet has some flaws such as encouraging high meat, cheese, dairy intakes. Cheese is huge in salt content, along with tuna fish, and the feeling that you can stop at Mcdonalds, and grab a burger or chicken, toss the bun, and loose weight. If you are a high BP...

What kind of ratio is desired? Debby's BP problems are high BP and what I feel is high pulse. Previous to diet/exercise program, pulse was 89-101 bpm. Now it is in the 85-90 bpm. These are at rest measurements. An improvement no doubt. Thanks everyone. Kevin

Thanks everyone for the responses. Debby is overwieght by most standards by 20lbs yet. She is a nonsmoker, and no alcohol. Sodium intake is questionable due to the cheese she eats, tuna fish content, etc, we need to look closely at that. She constantly consumes water. Magnesium, I don't know...

Has anyone experienced this problem, or can offer some insight into this problem. 42 yr old female 5'-6", starting weight 190 lbs Began Atkins Dec. 15, 2003, along with Jane Fonda excercise, and daily 3 mile, 5mph walking. lost 23 pounds in the first 40 days, and has since plateau'ed...

You guys make it sound so simple, (LOL), I'm interested in this but still a virgin lifter, not even a novice.. More reading is required if this is something i try or "stick with the basics".

I'm still alittle confused, could I use it on bicep, tricep, delts, or is it for the large movements only? My bench has stalled for a while, and I would love to add another 25 lbs to it ( who doesn't). I'll try this out in a couple weeks after my long awaited vacation. Thanks, Kevin

Your questions are way over my head! I'm still trying to understand WSB, and if I can use it at home. Anyone else hav an answer? Kevin :confused:

WOW! Great explanation. I have never tried it before. I am interested in gaining strength in my bench and military press. Will this work on any muscle group? I havent read the threads you provided, so maybe I should read first, ask later. Thanks for the response. Kevin

Someone recently recommended my trying WSB for strength training. What is WSB?? Can someone explain? Thanks, Kevin.

Recently, a question I had about building strength brought me a response regarding WSB workout. Can someone explain what WSB is?? Thanks Kevin

Thank you everyone for the help. I will stick with the basic upper body work-out, but keep it on the adolescent side. And keep it fun! I'm not sure how to do that, but you reminded me of that very important fact. Fun motivates her. I am checking my local library for the books now. Thanks, Kevin

I need to get my 13 yr old daughter ready for fast pitch softball season, and want to strengthen her shoulder and arm for throwing. What exercises should we do? Also, what should I be concerned about not doing because of her age and maturity? She is pre-puberty. Thanks in advance!
