Busy, Busy

For those of you who are keeping track, you may have noticed that I haven't posted in a few weeks.

I've been swamped.

And while I occasionally have the chance to "question and answer" over at my LetsTalkPitching.com Baseball Forum, most of my "free time" has been spent preparing the final touches on the TuffCuff™ Program: Off-Season Strength & Conditioning Manual.

The cover was sent out and designed by a graphics designer in Chicago; we've taken more than 700 pictures of which 500-or-so will appear in the manual; we've explained how each circuit, each program and each movement specifically relates to better pitching -- and it's almost completed.

It's all there, too: upper and lower body strength, scapular stabilization, core stabilization, speed and agility drills, balance prep, shoulder conditioning, running, swimming, forearm circuit, cone drills, dot drills, jump rope, agility ladders, medicine ball and total-body plyometric training, rope flex, static flex, total prep, quick prep, nutrition, hot/cold contrasts and more... you get the point.

In the mean time, bare with me as the blog remains essentially "inactive." I'll be back with some baseball articles and pitching tips very soon.

Yours in baseball,

Steven Ellis
