Making The Best Baseball Players Better

The best baseball players in the world have two things in common:

1. Their rotational, vertical, lateral and horizontal power are off the charts.

2. They have tremendous balance through both feet, clean rotational patterns, and HAVE incredible sagittal stabilization.

At 1RM Performance, we focus on these two factors and because of this, our athletes become the strongest, most powerful athletes they can be.

Velocity Based Training for Baseball Players

Training for baseball is something we specialize in at 1RM Performance. We work with baseball players ranging from junior high to professional and everything in between. With all the hours spent working with baseball players, there is one thing you learn: the BEST baseball players are the MOST powerful. Yes, there are insane skills involved, but power is the underlying factor with all high level baseball players. This sounds obvious, but i feel like this often gets over looked, especially in the world of training baseball players. Remeber, Power = Force X Velocity. The amount of power we generate day to day is dependent on the reactivity and sensitivity of an athletes Central Nervous System (CNS). Success in baseball IS CNS dependent, and we have found the key to unlocking the CNS.

Summer strength and conditioning is about to get rolling here at 1RM Performance. It’s time to let the masses know what’s new! If you’ve trained with us in the past, you know that our programming and our gym are constantly evolving and bringing our athlete's the most badass results they could ask for. Summer 2017 brings even more improvements and evolution of what 1RM Performance is and how we make our athletes better!

Speed Training Post Injury. Becoming the Athlete you were.

How do you get back to full speed after a serious lower body injury?  The answer is relatively simple: restore ideal movement, improve strength relative to body mass, and then get explosive, really explosive. Following these three steps will take a little more than just going to your local 24 hour, but if you’re persistent, patient, and believe in the process, you’ll be very happy with what you find at the end of your journey.

To see this process in action, let’s look at one of our pro guys, Connor Hoffman, who is in the middle of  the process right now at 1RM Performance.

Summer Training in San Diego at 1RM Performance

May is here and college athletes are returning. School is about to end, and things are about to get a little hectic at the gym! Needless to say this is my favorite time of the year. Training for athletes shift a little bit from managing stressors and adjusting programming based on practice schedules, to being the driving force of stressors. Training explodes and magic happens. But this doesn’t mean athletes are just thrown under the bar, loaded, and cranking away on reps. Quality is king, and in this article I’ll address how we get athletes cranking and running optimally during their summer training before school starts up again.

At the end of summer 2010 was my first encounter with Bobby Congalton. I was very impressed with him upon our first meeting, thinking something along the lines of “was this man hand-chiseled by the Greek Gods themselves?”
