Plyoband Training: Warmup and Cool-down for Throwers

A proper warmup is essential for all serious throwers who wish to maximize performance and avoid injury. The days of “throwing to warmup” are long gone and all serious programs should have an extensive warmup program before throwing begins. Plyobands are a perfect way to activate the shoulder, lat, and internal/external rotator muscles. By committing to a pre-throwing routine with Plyobands, throwers can see significant gains in arm strength and arm health. Performing the same or similar routine after throwing helps further strengthen throwing muscles and allows them to ease into a rest period.
