i have found that using bands to work the lower part of the tricep just above the elbow increases your lockout speed/strength and ultimately power...its an exercise used by louie simmons and westside barbell for lockout power in the bench but crosses over greatly in bat speed as well....also i have found that doing box squats with bands increases hip speed/strength and ultimately power in the hips....for both pitchers and hitters.........any and all comments welcome
