yes i know, very trashy. But, its effective and its easy to change weights in and out, or put 2 together for more weight.

You were bored weren't you?

That wont take you very far. I recognize the ingenuity of the design, but how could you possibly have enough weight?

it was built mostly for baseball pitching exersizes. i have a baseball w/ a rope through the middle that can attach on. 15lbs is plenty for that kind of motion

better be careful.....
you don't have the weight secured from swinging, so you may accidently knock yourself out!!! :Q

how much weight is that?

 

[RaiderJ]

You made a pulley + rope?

if all are on, its around 50lbs. but like i said, i hardly use all that if im doing pitching motions.

about swinging- surprisingly, it doesnt really swing. as long as you start w/ it straight, it pretty much stays straight. the pulley takes a lot of the side to side motion out.

You should also be working your twisting motion as most of your power is from your hips and your legs.

You'd do very well to do jumping for say 6-8reps for 2-3set on a mat. This will help you to pitch better with a minimum of expense and equipment.

what do you mean by "jumping"?

w/ my ghetto setup, i can keep my arm stationary and twist my hips to work on the twisting.

Jumping as in jumping up in to the air.

You use your legs to provide most of the power. Your arm is an extension of the whipping and is used after you use your legs, hips and body to twist then you launch the ball with your arms.

The jumping will help you out. Do squats also. That will provide lots of power for you.
