If you take a look at the 3X Pitching Profiles, which are measurements of speeds and distances of some of the best pitcher’s mechanics in the game, you will discover that most of these pitchers have either above average 3X into hip to shoulder separation or below average hip to shoulder separation with above average 2X. To truly understand what is going on here and how this effects velocity, it is important we first understand the relationship of 3X to 2X and hip rotation.

3X to 2X and Hip Rotation

Triple extension (3X) – Is the extension of the drive leg knee, ankle and hip flexor and it will usually extended in that order. The 3X approach to pitching teaches us that achieving 3X before front foot strike will create hip rotation just at or just after front foot strike. It will also promote more explosive hip rotation which leads to optimal hip to shoulder separation. This hip rotation is occurring because when the drive leg achieves 3X, it pushes the hip flexor of the back hip forward before front foot strike. This will just open the hips a little, so when the front leg lands and stabilizes, the hips slam completely open towards the target. If the pitcher does not open the hips through 3X before front foot strike, hip rotation will happen late, reducing hip to shoulder separation.

Double Extension (2X) – This is the extension of the knee and ankle of the front leg at front foot strike into pitch release. The 3X approach to pitching also teaches us that achieving 2X before pitch release is critical to support hip to shoulder separation and it will transfer more energy or power into the ball increasing velocity. Taking 2X even farther into hyper-extension will force the hips to completely open towards the target. We know the more open the hips are towards the target at release, the more front leg extension will occur which will put more power and energy into the ball, increasing pitching velocity.

How 3X and 2X together Promote High Pitching Velocities

The best way to understand the relationship of 3X to 2X, is using the car crash analogy, which I have used a few times on this site. 3X would be the high performance car heading towards an immovable brick wall (2X). The passenger (test dummy) in the car is the ball. We do not know the effect of 3X to 2X until the car hits the wall. The farther the passenger flies out of the car, the more effective 3X to 2X worked together.

Just like when pitching, 3X is our acceleration system and 2X is our breaking system. If we increase 3X then 2X must support it to increase pitching velocity and vice versus. They work hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other.

On the elite level, when a pitcher is working to break 90mph, the relationship of 3X to 2X becomes even more important. In the case of Brandon Morrow (see 3X Pitching Profile) he has an above average 3X with a below average 2X and he is a 95+mph pitcher. In the case of Justin Verlander (see 3X Pitching Profile) he has a below average 3X with an above average 2X and he is a 95+mph pitcher. The diamond in the rough here is that both these pitchers have an above average relationship between 3X to 2X. This is why they throw in the upper 90′s.

Let’s look at these pitchers and their 3X to 2X relationship, so we can learn how to improve our relationship of 3X to 2X. Brandon Morrow has one of the best 3X moves in the game but he has a below average 2X move to support it. If you watch his front leg stabilization in slow motion you will see that it never flexes or moves after front foot strike, it is stabilizing and supporting his explosive 3X, like the immovable brick wall in the car crash analogy. This is allowing all that power from 3X to slam the hips open into his stabilized but not extended front leg, like in the car crash analogy. If he had a weaker 3X, with his below average 2X, he would lose velocity but if he had an explosive 2X like Justin Verlander, to go with his explosive 3X, then what would happen? This would change the car crash analogy. The brick wall would now be replaced with another car moving towards the original car at the same speed. Let’s replace these cars with bumper cars so the impact is greater. Now what would happen to the passenger in the original car? He would project himself even farther out of the car at impact. So you can see how powerful 3X and 2X can be if they work together. You can also see how if you increase one and decrease the other, at the same rate, then you haven’t effected velocity but if you increase one without decreasing the other then you increase velocity. 3X to 2X go hand in hand, so you must understand their relationship before you can effectively use them to increase velocity.

How to implement 2X before Pitch Release

The key to implementing 2X into your delivery is through both the motor coordination training of the component through drills and strength and conditioning. Let’s look at them separately.

Motor Training 2X – When using drills like the Med Ball or Target throws in the 3X Pitching Velocity program you want to work to keep the front leg knee behind your heal when in these drills. This will allow you to more easily achieve 2X. Once the front leg knee pushes out over the front foot it becomes too difficult to achieve 2X. These drills will help you develop the motor coordination around 2X because when you are in these drills, you are positioned with your hips open to the target at start. 2X will not occur if your hips are closed towards the target. This is why it is difficult to practice 2X within your entire pitching delivery. If you are not opening your hips at front foot strike then it will be almost impossible to achieve 2X before pitch release. This is why I recommend using the drills in the 3X Pitching Velocity Program to train this 2X motor skill.

Strength and Conditioning 2X – This is important to support 2X because for a pitcher to achieve 2X before pitch release, he must have strong quads and flexible hamstrings to complete this movement. If a pitcher is able to get the hips open at front foot strike but does not have the strength to fire the quads against the force of the landing leg hitting the ground and his hamstrings are not strong and flexible enough to support this extension and forward trunk tilt movement then the pitcher will never achieve this velocity component. The 3X Pitching Velocity program uses heavy load training to develop the quad power along with lifts like the RDL’s to develop the hamstring flexibility.

The Science behind 2X to 3X

If you need more science to support this information in this article then please study more about the physics of impulse and momentum. You can actually put together the math that supports this 3X to 2X relationship.

Here are also the studies that support these pitching components.

NPA Velocity Study conducted 2005-2006

http://www.nationalpitching.ne…..UV_NPA.pdf

“The results from our study indicate that just about 80% of a pitcher’s real velocity comes from the torque of hip and shoulder
separation”

ASMI – Comparison of High Velocity and Low Velocity Pitch Deliveries

http://www.asmi.org/asmiweb/re…..itches.htm

“Compared to the low ball velocity group, the higher ball velocity pitchers demonstrated less lead knee flexion velocity after front foot contact and greater lead knee extension velocity at the time of ball release. Extending the lead knee in this manner may provide stabilization allowing better energy transfer from the trunk to the throwing arm, and could be a critical factor in pitch velocity.

More open pelvis angle at the time of ball release (REL) also correlated with increased pitch velocity increased.”

Let’s face it, throwing the ball at your top velocity is risky but so is returning punts in the NFL. If we are going to enhance our ability while promoting a long and healthy career, we must understand how our bodies work and how to prevent injury. The American Sports Medicine Institute has already informed the public that pitching injuries spawn from three main factors; Overuse, Poor Physical Fitness and Poor Mechanics. To take this information further, I will list here the top 10 pitching secrets to prevent injury in order from the most significant to the least but still significant.

Pitching injury prevention secrets

1. More Hip to Shoulder Separation – This is not only a major pitching velocity secret but it is also a major injury prevention secret. You know it is a good tip when it will increase both velocity and prevent injury. It will prevent injury because it allows the arm to stay relaxed while the body builds the power instead of the arm working to build the power. Optimal hip to shoulder separation will put the throwing arm behind the ball through release. If the pitcher has poor hip to shoulder separation then his arm will get out front early, preventing proper pronation. This is also critical for good deceleration which promotes arm health.
2. Increase Your Stride Distance and Power – I would bet that pitchers who have longer strides, have less arm issues than pitchers with shorter strides, but I have no research to back this up. I am making this claim strictly from my experience playing, coaching and analyzing this game through my career. The theory is that a short stride will prevent the pitcher from building more stride power which will force the arm to generate most of the velocity. This will then lead to more wear and tear on the arm and then eventually an injury. Increasing your stride distance is the first step towards injury prevention. The next step is increasing your stride power.
3. Do Not Swing Your Arm - The arm should never swing out of the glove, especially behind the back or way above the shoulder before the shoulders fire towards the target. This is what leads to the infamous inverted W or in laymen’s terms the M. It puts the arm in what is called the “Red Zone,” this is the zone where the shoulder and elbow are most vulnerable because there is more torque being applied to the joints based on the positioning. To prevent over abusing the arm, we must train it to follow the body and not lead the way. The revolutionary approach to pitching velocity called 3X Pitching has proven that when the arm starts the delivery, the body takes a back seat which reduces velocity and leads to injury. This swinging of the arm is a sign that the arm is taking control and in return, most of the stress.
4. Do Not Pull Down to Release – It feels strong when your arm is firing towards release and you start pulling down on your forearm to force your arm through its final path to the target. This pulling down of the forearm makes it feel like the ball is screaming out of your fingers tips. This may increase velocity but it comes with a big price. The price is the effects of overworking the forearm muscles. These are small muscles that when they fatigue, the body losses the fine motor skills of the hand which will effect your pitch grips. Most important, it will put more wear and tear in your elbow. This pulling down of the arm is not a component of hard throwers. It is what pitchers do when they are struggling with transferring stride power into core torque and then the velocity of the ball. Instead of pulling down to release, work on more hip to shoulder separation and good forearm pronation.
5. Build Joint Integrity Weekly – Just like eating, taking a shower or brushing your teeth, if you want to pitch at your top velocity through a long career then you must perform rotator cuff exercises to strengthen your cuff two times per week. You would be surprised the amount of pitchers who never do this. Post rotator cuff surgery, if I miss a few weeks of joint integrity training while in-season, my shoulder stability begins to fail. It is amazing how quickly I can loss this stability and strength. This loss of stability overtime will definitely lead to injury. For a complete rotator cuff program check out the 3X Pitching Velocity program.
6. Develop More Core and Leg Strength -  If you have weak legs and core then where will your body get its power? The shoulders and arms. I have worked with pitchers who are so weak in their core and legs that when they try to increase their stride distance, their arms start flapping like a bird trying to take flight. If you look at some of the biggest legs of pitchers in Major League Baseball you will find a ton of healthy, hard throwing pitchers. Nolan Ryan is probably the best example of this in my lifetime. He stayed in the upper 90′s even into his 40′s. He has tree trunks for legs and he never had a serious pitching injury.
7. Quality Throws over Quantity – If you want to “strengthen your arm” do it with your strength and conditioning program, like in the 3X pitching Velocity program. Do not do it with your throwing program. Your throwing program should be used to improve your mechanics with drills and a low volume of throws, like in the 3X Pitching Velocity Program. Do not use your throwing program as your strength and conditioning program, this will only lead to overuse and abuse of your shoulder and elbow. This is why I do not support extreme long tossing.
8. Avoid Machine Lifting – Machine weight training is terrible for athletes. It promotes pattern overload and will make a pitcher more vulnerable to injury. This is the case because when using machines for lifting weights, like with a press movement, the machines forces the pitcher to take the same path of movement every single rep. When using free weights, the pattern of movement is always different. There is a mechanism in the body to prevent the overload of one muscle or muscle group which will prevent over fatigue of a single muscle or muscle group. By changing the path of movement, the body uses different muscles or muscle groups to share in the work load. When a muscle is fatigued and the reps continue, other muscles take over to over compensate for the malfunction. In the shoulder, this will change the efficiency of the movement and force the shoulder to rotate off axis. This has been proven to lead to serious joint injury.
9. Eat like a Pro – If you do not give your body the building blocks to a healthy pitcher, in its diet, then how is it going to maintain itself as a healthy pitcher? This is the most neglected secret of injury prevention. Most athletes and especially pitchers believe they can eat whatever they want whenever they want. This is complete ignorance. If you can take the time to learn the basics of a healthy diet and how to feed your body what it needs then you are at least giving your body the chance to stay healthy.
10. 10 Hours of Quality Sleep Daily – If you are not sleeping at least 10 hours when training or pitching then you are not giving your body what it needs to repair itself. If you can follow secrets 1-9 then this last pitching injury prevention secret will work wonders for your career. A quality nights sleep can mean the difference between a great days performance and a good days performance. Losing sleep overtime prevents the body from fully recovering and rebuilding which eventually leads to injury.

Since the Earliest baseball legends began breaking records, transforming into heroes and inspiring nations, there was an element to these player’s success that for the most part have been overlooked by society in how their success is achieved in the game of baseball.

I’m talking about a tool that the greatest players have utilized whether they have known it or not. It’s more powerful than having a cannon for an arm because it can help you achieve it. It’s more consistent than speed and even more dangerous than incredible hand eye coordination. It fact it will give the talent to be a great hitter that none of the best baseball hitting drills can even think to offer.

This is the most powerful tool and if it is truly mastered and used consistently will provide you with the ability to continue to develop as a player.

This power comes from the actual images you have in your mind. When you see yourself as someone who has a great arm, run faster, play smarter, and develop the right social relationships, you are demonstrating this power.

This power is called visualization.

In an interview, when Hank Aaron was asked what was the most important element to his success, after all the home runs he hit, what approach would he recommend.

He said simply” visualization”.

He was a master of rehearsing success. By the time he came to the plate, he knew he would hit the ball hard because he had just finished doing it a dozen times in his mind before the game even started.

The power of visualization comes from mental pictures in your head, but it is also much more than that. It’s a powerful process that is effecting every aspect of your life.

Both on and off the field.

The truth is, there is more and more evidence that supports this law, in which we are in a constant process of creating our own personal realities fueled by our thoughts. If we think a certain way, our life will support that belief.

For example, if I think of myself as an average hitter while on occasion imagining my self striking out and reminding myself how embarrassing and hopeless that makes me feel, that thought and image in my mind is a creation and I will probably continue to be an average hitter.

There is a whole universe out there that is constantly giving us what we ask for. The problem is it reacts to our conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings. It responds to both our positive and negative thoughts. If you want to increase your velocity but you’re still having images of yourself as a person who doesn’t have the gift of a strong arm, guess what? That’s what you will create.

Why not dedicate yourself to visualizing your skills like that of the greatest players that have ever lived?!

In time guess what will happen? Progress will happen.

Take a look at you current situation as a baseball player and know that whatever situation you’re in it’s a result of  the type of thoughts you had in the past, and the type of thoughts you are having now are currently creating your future

At this moment, there are people overcoming illnesses, creating new relationships, acquiring wealth, and achieving life long goals (like adding 5 mph to their fastball;) by changing the images they have in there mind to only things they want to attract into their lives and off of things they no longer want or need to avoid.

This game has the potential to give you everything you could ever desire, but you have to be willing to control your thoughts and dedicate yourself to positive thought to create positive experiences.

You can and will achieve success!

It may be true that each player has a limit to what there potential is but more importantly, most players never stop learning and ultimately never reach there true potential. Many retired Major Leaguers claim to have still been learning and developing themselves as players, and for some, that’s after 20 years in the game. So depending on your perspective, your potential is limitless.

With all the challenges that baseball offers us and after all the hard work we put in, we will get the most out of our baseball experiences when when learn the power of choice. After hours of tee ball drills, and running sprints, we still have to have a disciplined thought process and perception of ourselves.

We will always have the power to choose how to react to what life brings us. We will always have the power to choose what to think.

Let them be thoughts inspired by courage and made with faith in our talent and ability.

Here are three great baseball motivational quotes that represent this mission!

“What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.”  – Napoleon Hill

“Visualize, ‘prayerize’, ‘actionize’, and your wishes will come true.” – Charles L. Allen

“Losers visualize the penalties of failure. Winners visualize the rewards of success.” – Unknown

The problem is those who don’t take the time to learn my approach or those who never commit to the program. I shouldn’t be frustrated by these people because these are those people who will never reach their goals in life. These are those people who will always need help and who will always complain that they got screwed in the end. I am only frustrated because I know that these are the people that need my help the most. The problem is how do I help them if they do not want it or they do not want to commit?

I haven’t posted a lot of content here on the mental approach to 3X Pitching, so I will start now. Yogi Berra said it best, “95% of this game is half mental.” That is the way I feel. Half of this game is mental and the other half is physical but 95% is definitely mental. If you can commit to any program on the web; 3X Pitching, Dick Mill’s, 90MPH Club, Jaeger Long Toss, NPA, etc, you will get better. I guarantee it! It is because of this Yogi Berra quote. To make it more clear, this quote is saying that yes, you can evenly split up the components of this game including the mental and physical facets but in the end, the mental facet is the most powerful. Have you ever seen the movie, The Secert? If you haven’t then you need to. This is a must see movie. It is proof that your goals will only be accomplished if you ultimately believe in them. So if your goal is to reach your top velocity and you bought the Dick Mill’s program but you are slightly skeptical because the 90MPH Club just sent you an email that says something that conflicts with the Dick Mill’s program, then now you have a problem. Now you are not fully committed and your chances of reaching your goals is limited.

The #1 Reason Pitchers Never Reach Their Top Velocity is the lack of Commitment!

If this is you then grow up and take the bull by the horns for once in your life. Out of all the poeple who purchase my program about 15% actually complete the program and don’t stop until they reach their velocity goals. The job of the program is not to perform a miracle and do the work for you, it is there to help you get to your goals faster than if you did it on your own and time is critical in any career. This is why you should only use a program that was used by someone who shares your same makeup or circumstance. Every single person who finds himself on TopVelocity.net and reads my BIO, about how I used the 3X Pitching Velocity program to beat the odds and top out at 94MPH in a professional season, who can put themselves in my shoes before my arm surgery or just after, always purchase my program and completes it. Though this is not the majority of my pitchers here. This is actually the 15% I mentioned earlier. The other 85% is those who are buying every single program on the web and using the part of the program that they feel is the only thing that is going to work in combination with all the other parts from all the other programs that they feel is best. The only thing missing here is the commitment, because how could you be committed to using a mixology of programs to make the perfect program and have confidence that it is going to even work in the end? The reason it is better to commit to one program alone, is because if you have done your homework, you know that it has been tested and it is proven to work. It is like saying I am going to not just buy a McDonald’s franchise to start a successful business, I am going to buy McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and Carls’ Jr and use the best of all of them to build my new business. How in God’s name do you know this will work? Why should it even work? Why not just stick with one of them because they all have a proven track record of producing success.

Don’t just try a program, commit to a program and dare yourself to produce the results that you want!

* I used the picture of Cal Ripken Jr, because in baseball he is the best example of commitment. If you do not know why then do your homework!

Roger was in high school and Nolan Ryan was his favorite pitcher. He always wanted to see his rocket arm up close and personally, so one day he got a ticket to watch him pitch in Houston for the Astros. He showed up early to the game so he could watch him throw his bull pen. Roger went over to the pen and waited for Nolan to up show up. He was expecting to see this long explosive arm rocketing the ball to the catcher. What he noticed immediately when Nolan started to throw was the size and power of his legs. He could not believe that he had not notice the essences of Nolan Ryan’s power, which was his legs. This convinced Roger that if he was going to have a rocket arm like Nolan, then he too would have to develop big and powerful legs.

Unfortunately, it took surgery for me to have this epiphany. I had to completely tear my rotator cuff to realize that the arm isn’t enough. The legs are so much bigger and more powerful than the arm. The key is training them to be more explosive and then developing the motor coordination to use this power when throwing a baseball.

Most hard throwers use their incredible leg power to convert to the velocity of the ball. When I say power, I am referring to speed and strength. It isn’t enough to just be strong or to just be fast, you must be able to use them both, at the same time, which I call explosive strength. If you know how to build explosive strength, through your legs during your stride correctly, then this can be converted to rotational forces through physics and not through voluntary rotational movements. This would be the same as using a transmission to convert combustible power into the rotation of the tires.

If you want to learn more on how to use your leg power to through harder then you need to start learning about Triple Extension or 3X. This is a component of hard throwers that was discovered here at TopVelocity.net and along with separation is the main key to reaching your top velocity. I highly recommend you read through this site to learn more about 3X and you also sign up for the FREE Velocity Secrets ebook at the top right corner of this page.

There currently is a gimmick that supposedly helps the pitcher to get into this position but the problem with these gimmicks is if you cannot pitch with this device in a game, what use does it have for the pitcher? If the pitcher can not put himself into this power drive position without the device then it is a total waste of money. I have never worked with the device, so this is not a review.

The 3X Pitching Velocity Program trains the pitcher through drills to achieve this Power Drive Position. I will cover some of these components here that are in full detail in the 3X Pitching Velocity Program.

The Pitchers Power Drive Components

1. Lift and Lead – Lift your lift leg as you lead with your hips. You want to start your momentum towards your front foot as quickly as possible while closing off your hips with your lift leg.
2. Align your Force Vector with your Front Hip – Your force vector is your ankle to knee. This must get in line with your front hip as soon as possible. You can make this happen by driving your shin into the ground as you push your hips towards the target.
3. Power Pads Force Production – You want your drive leg foot completely flush against the rubber with your weight sitting on your power pads. This is the area from the ball of the foot towards the arc. This is where you want to start applying force as you align your force vector with your front hip and as you move into triple extension. This is where you use ground reaction forces to generate your power.

This is definitely not an approach to pitching from the conventional wisdom of the game. Critiques of this approach would say that this goes against the old school “Balance Position.” Those who think this way do not have a physiological understanding of explosive movements. Lifting the leg and pausing to establish “Balance,” does not support an explosive movement by definition. To the explosive athlete “Balance” is the athletes ability to control the momentum of the body and direct it towards the goal. This balance is most important during the stride when power is generated and at front foot strike when power is converted to torque.

Great examples of pitchers who put themselves into a Power Drive Position would be all hard throwers. My favorite example is Trevor Bauer, Tim Lincecum, Aroldis Chapman, Felix Hernandez, Nolan Ryan, etc.

To learn more about all of these power pitching components read more articles here or purchase the 3X Pitching Velocity Program.

When I developed the revolutionary approach to pitching velocity called 3X Pitching, I first analyzed some of the hardest throwers in the game to try and discover their secrets. I wasn’t as interested in their training programs because most of these hard throwers, I felt, had superior genetics. I knew that if I could learn what they were doing mechanically, which was causing them to throw so hard, I could then try to emulate these mechanics through training my body to move like theirs. I believed that this was a good strategy for success. I soon learned that this was true.

The mechanical components that I pulled out of these hard throwing delivers are a main part to the 3X Pitching Velocity Program. The program lists all of these components and covers them in detail. More important than uncovering these velocity components was discovering the key component which was the foundation. This one component, if not performed correctly, would prevent all of the other components to be performed correctly as well. This was the case because these hard throwers were using the entire kinetic chain to generate their power and their velocity was initiated in the very start of the kinetic sequence. This component that I discovered was Triple Extension or what I call 3X. The day I discovered this key component I could not believe how effective it was and how clueless the rest of baseball was, to completely miss it. Even today I am shocked that I am the only pitching voice coaching it.

The problem with most velocity enhancement programs is that they focus on the mechanics more than the training or the training more than the mechanics. They must go hand in hand. The mechanics must be used as a measurement for the effectiveness of the training program and the means to the end. If not then you are training blind and going no where fast. The 3X Pitching Velocity Program is a multi-faceted approach to pitching velocity that believes a more powerful athletic pitcher will more effectively develop high velocity mechanics than the average pitcher. This is why this program produces results and makes it possible for all young pitchers to add 5-10 mph to their velocity.

In all of the case studies performed by some of the top institutions in the baseball world, they have shown that the key to velocity occurs early in the delivery. Specifically during the stride and at front foot strike. If you look at the hardest throwers in the game, they all have the longest strides, fastest stride speeds, and more hip to shoulder separation at front foot strike. The secret to implementing what they are doing into your delivery, and increasing your own velocity, is called 3X. You will not learn this revolutionary approach to pitching anywhere else but HERE. DO NOT HESITATE TO PURCHASE THIS EBOOK. IT COST LESS THAN BUYING A CHEAP BASEBALL GLOVE AND IT WILL TRANSFORM YOU FROM THE AVERAGE PITCHER, TO THE ELITE PITCHER.

I want you to purchase this book. I want you to also know that if it is not what you expected then you get all of your money back. It is as simple as that. I want you to buy the secrets to pitching velocity and if this isn’t the secrets then I will give you your money back like this never happened. This is how confident I am in this revolutionary approach to pitching. So, purchase 3X Pitching without the worries that you are going to get your monies worth.

Purchase 3X Pitching NOW!

If you purchase 3X Pitching NOW, you will get it for the low price of $39.99. That is an incredible price, because 3x Pitching is normally sold for $79.99. At $39.99 you can purchase the #1 Approach to Pitching Velocity on the web, for less than what it would cost you to buy a cheap baseball glove. Act now because this offer will not stand for long.

I would recommend that whomever is doing the chart, should also bring a radar gun if you have one. They should also record your velocity on every pitch as well. This is  a good indication of when a pitcher is getting tired. This is because you will notice a significant drop in velocity at this point. It is also important to see the difference in velocity between your fastball and off speed pitches. If the difference is very small then this is a good indication of how well the pitcher will perform on that day. A small difference in pitch velocity will make it easier for hitters to adjust to your pitches.

It is very common in college and pro ball for the team to chart statistics, but in high school and under, you do not see this a lot. If you are a pitcher and having a hard time finding someone to chart your pitches then I would recommend that you first ask your friends and family who like to go to your games or find one of the team moms who always goes to the game and then ask her. You will be glad you did!

When body tissues are cooled, nerve cells in the chilled area initially force adjacent blood vessels to constrict, leading to a marked reduction in blood flow to that part of the body. However, if the temperature of the affected area continues to drop, nerve activity is depressed and the blood vessels begin to open up, flooding the injured tissues with blood, even though cold is still being applied. This flood-of-blood (Hunting effect) is the human body’s reflex reaction to thwart severe cold injury in a body part subjected to chilling stress.

Dr. Meeusen’s studies showed that icing initially stops the swelling and blood flow of the damaged blood vessels into the local muscle tissue but after a period of 10 minutes it can begin to have an opposite effect to the area. His documentation continues to state this damage continues on to another important system of healing.

Lymphatic Vessels: Prolonged ice application can cause lymphatic vessels (which ordinarily help carry excess tissue fluids back into the cardiovascular system) to increase in permeability. This causes large amounts of fluid to pour from the lymphatics “the wrong way” into the injured area, increasing local swelling and pressure, potentially contributing to greater pain. If icing goes on too long, the lymphatic vessels can actually be nearly obliterated, losing all of their fluid to surrounding tissues.

The lesson here is NOT that icing is bad. What we have learned is that icing is effective initially but begins to cause problems after about 10 minutes. Read the description below for the proper way to ice the arm after a game to help aid the healing process.

Ice the elbow or shoulder region for 10 minutes immediately after pitching (DO NOT PUT ICE ON ULNAR NEVER), remove the ice for about 30 minutes, and then reapply it for 10 additional minutes. Repeat this cycle of about two 10-minute icings per hour as often as desired, based on how many pitches thrown, during the first 24 to 48 hours after pitching.

I also recommend that you use a heavy bag of icing. A little bag of ice will not cool off the area enough. You can put a towel on your arm to prevent freezer burn but try to use a bag of ice that almost hurts it is so cold. I also recommend taking a cold shower instead of a warm or hot shower post game for the same healing benefits of icing.
