    I've come to the conclusion that....

    The big difference between me and the pros is that they're a whole, whole freaking lot stronger than I am. I'm goin' easy during break, just lifting once a week and throwing once a week. My "easy squat" day is two sets of 8 @ 150 pounds.

    Greg Hadleys easy squat day is two sets of 6 @ 450 pounds.

    sheesh.

    I guess I now have a goal of being able to squat 300 lbs, 4x by the end of February.

    Yep Alan, If it weren't for those 20 years, 100 lbs of power lifting muscle and some added technique--I'd be right up there with them

    re

    I'm on the other end of it. I'm pretty strong in the weightroom but it sure doesn't seem to help me throw better.
